I tried mine on a .wmv file and it didn't work either, but it did work on an avi, so I figured it must be a missing win32 codec. And I looked at the mplayer output and there it was: Opening video decoder: [dmo] DMO video codecs Win32 LoadLibrary failed to load: wmv9dmod.dll, /usr/lib/win32/wmv9dmod.dll, /usr/local/lib/win32/wmv9dmod.dll IMediaObject ERROR: 0x84ec5c9 could not open DMO DLL (0x0 : 0) Failed to create DMO filter ERROR: Could not open required DirectShow codec wmv9dmod.dll. You need to upgrade/install the binary codecs package. Go to http://mplayerhq.hu/homepage/dload.html VDecoder init failed :( Opening video decoder: [dmo] DMO video codecs Win32 LoadLibrary failed to load: wmvdmod.dll, /usr/lib/win32/wmvdmod.dll, /usr/local/lib/win32/wmvdmod.dll IMediaObject ERROR: 0x84ec5c9 could not open DMO DLL (0x0 : 0) Failed to create DMO filter ERROR: Could not open required DirectShow codec wmvdmod.dll.

Read DOCS/HTML/en/codecs.html! Do you get something like this? Clear, right? Get the codecs from mplayer.hu and put them in /usr/local/lib/win32. The README that comes with them says they should go to /usr/local/lib/codecs, but I guess the FC4 mplayer was compiled with win32.
