I've just commited a minor hack:
you can select driver type with command line option so no more codecs.conf
editing is needed for testing mplayer with different codecs. AFAIK:

-vcodec 1		?
-vcodec 2		wfv codec
-vcodec 3		?
-vcodec 4		dshow codec
-vcodec 5		ffmpeg codec

Sorry I don't know too much on codec types so maybe a better config option
range (the integer) checking is needed.

Also, a better option name would be great ;-)

If mplayer fails to find codec with the specified drv type it will default
to the normal codec searching loop ignoring your request.


------ BTW ------

On my machine ffmpeg divx is slower than both of dshow and wfv codecs :(
