Thanks! I had no /usr/local/etc/mplayer/codes.conf file
so I copied the etc/codes.conf to /usr/local/etc/mplayer/codes.conf
edited it to comment out all wmv entries including audio... And I now get an
error saying basically not available.

This is exactly what  I was looking for... Thanks again.

Jerry
