My own failure was on a slackware box with a similar manual placement
of the dll.

The error message that precipitates the MPlayer crash is:

+---------
Opening video decoder: [vfw] Win32/VfW video codecs
======= Win32 (VFW) VIDEO Codec init =======
Loading codec DLL: 'lagarith.dll'
Called unk_EncodePointer
+-------

But the full error message is printed below, I have not made a gdb
backtrace yet as until I heard of your success I assumed that lagarith
playback might not be possible :).

MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: init_video_codec
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
  Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
  disassembly. Details in
DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
  It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in
your
  gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
  DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We
can't and
  won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a
possible bug.
+---------------

I am happy to make a gdb backtrace if this would provide any clues...

Andrew
