Make a subdir called codecs/ into the dir where your mplayer.exe is
and copy the real dlls into it. It will also search other acm dshow and vfw
codecs there.
I know this is not the best solution but real dlls are normally in
Gemeinsame Dateien\Real\Codecs\ or Common Files\Real\codecs ?
No way to find out their location runtime without too much bloat.
