Remove your old codecs.conf file from /root/.mplayer, it's not needed  
anymore. MPlayer and MEncoder use an internal copy of codecs.conf
This will remove the message, but won't solve your problem.

BTW if you run MPlayer/MEncoder as root, be sure you know what you're  
doing!

Codecs.conf in your home directory is too old and will be ignored

MEncoder will use its own internal copy of codecs.conf
