[MPlayer-users] Using mplayer to play a wmv file under Linux

[ying lcs]

Hi,

I have installed mplayer on Fedora 5.
But when I use it to play a wmv file, I get this error:

'Cannot find codec matching selected -vo and video format 0x33564D57'.

I can hear the audio of that file, but no video is displayed.

And here is the error message when I play it via command line:

Playing spider-man_3_trailer_720p.wmv.
ASF file format detected.
VIDEO:  [WMV3]  1280x608  24bpp  1000.000 fps    0.0 kbps ( 0.0 kbyte/s)
