did you download the win32 codecs?


you need the win32 codecs package from www.mplayerhq.hu / download,

and to play quicktime, you need

www.mplayerhq.hu / download / more binary codecs / quicktime 5(or 6)
dlls

extract those dlls into $PREFIX/lib/win32,
that means usually /usr/local/lib/win32 or /usr/lib/win32

and run configure again

p.s: this is written in the documentation ( at least how to install
win32 codecs )
