Everyone:
Mplayer has a problem with Windows Media ".wmv" files and, for that matter, QuickTime ".mov" files. Mozilla's plugin for those files gives me sound, but no picture. I can play MPEG's and .asf files without a problem--picture and sound--and I also can play any commercial DVD (though mplayer doesn't let me see the interactive menu, but just lets me select the title and chapter by the numbers). A lot of Web sites out there offer streaming video in the ".wmv" format, and it's a little annoying to get them with sound, but no picture. (I also installed RealPlayer 10, and that plays videos without a problem.)
I'll take any suggestion I can get.

I've got just the opposite behavior. When I point my browser to this url to see the Blade: Trinity trailer I get the video but no sound with mplayer in mozilla:

I suspect it's a codec problem, but oddly Mandrake 10 doesn't suffer the same problem.
