I noticed the codecs.conf file says WMV 8 works fine. I'm having a problem that doesn't seem to have come up yet. Trying to play WMV 8 files just gives me (initially) a green screen with blocky effects over it. Below is part of the output and if anyone would like to try to play the file it can be accessed at http://karr.ath.cx/phill/
I downloaded the file in its entirety and tried it out. Sure enough, I see the same type of video you describe whether I use the WMV binary codecs or FFMPEG. However, I also tried it out in WMP (older version, v6.01.yadda) and it refused to do anything with the file. Have you ever known this file to be valid? Did it play with some version of Windows Media Player? Does it play now? Could it have been corrupted somehow (e.g., FTP transfer in ASCII mode instead of binary)?
There's DRM (digital rights management) stuff in some windows media files, that do only allow to play it on a special computer or only several times (of course only with current windows media player that supports DRM, IMHO v7+).
