[MPlayer-users] flv support?

[Tobias Damisch]

Hello,

I can't play flv's (flashvideo).
As far as I understand [1], mplayer generally supports flv.
I use a very current precompiled version of mplayer [2],
mplayer-p4-svn-19764 under win32.

Output shows thousends of
---------------------------------------------
[flv @ 00AD4D40]Unsupported video codec (4)
---------------------------------------------
and lots of
---------------------------------------------
[mpeg4 @ 00A1DAE0]header damaged
Error while decoding frame!
---------------------------------------------
while playing sound but no video.

Somohow all flv players I'v found so far are a PITA compared to
mplayer, and I'd love being able to transcode these files to some
other format using mencoder.

Any hints?

TIA,
      Tobias
