As long as you don't violate a copyright, there should be no problem 
with using information from anywhere else. You should probably reference 
the original source as a courtesy and because it could be updated at any 
time.

The ffmpeg-devel mailing list is more or less the definitive place; much 
of mplayer's codec- and container-related code is in ffmpeg (via 
libavcodec and libavformat), and occasionally an effort is made to move 
something useful from mplayer to ffmpeg so it can be re-used by other 
projects and be implemented with less code duplication.

I can't comment on that, though.
