Based on a comment in an earlier post:

I doubt that the original poster compiled MPlayer
herself.

First of all, I would also have her run
'ls /usr/lib/codecs/drv*' to confirm that she
carried out earlier instructions correctly.


I would also suggest that she post the output of 
mplayer -v <filename>. If the version is recent enough,
the configure options will be included in the output.

I am assuming that if binary codecs are not enabled, then it
will not show
