Hmm... The version at work (MPlayer dev-CVS-051020-17:39-3.4.2)  does not 
show where it searches for codecs.conf, but on my PC at home (March 22, I 
believe) it shows something like:

get_path('codecs.conf') -> 'c:/progra~1/MPlayer/mplayer/codecs.conf

so you can try that.

Your MPlayer version is very old. Try again with the lastest CVS version.


Can you run mplayer -identify -frames 0 'Apr 2-Channel 17.vcr'?

>17.vcr'

-codecs-file is used to specify a file to be used as codecs.conf, so you 
could have said:
mplayer -codecs-file c:\progra~1\mplayer\codecs.conf etc.

See the section in the MPlayer manual that describes how to create a new 
entry in codecs.conf.
