First I had to download the mplayer sources to get a copy of the file. Then I added the following videocodec ffvp6f info "FFmpeg VP6 Flash" status working fourcc FLV4,VP6F driver ffmpeg dll "vp6f" out YV12 Actually, I just added the "FLV4" tag to the fourcc line. It would be good if Fedora shipped a copy of the "codecs.conf" file.
