[MPlayer-users] MS Video Screen Codec

[Christoph Heine]

Hello,


There's a problem play WMV files encoded with the 'Windows Screen
Video' Codec. The CLSID of the Codec is
{3301A7C4-0A8D-11D4-914D-00C04F610D24}, the file is named msscds32.ax
and the fourcc is MSS1

I added the following entry into the ~/.mplayer/codecs.conf, similar to
the codec for the 'WMV1' Codec:

-- snip --
videocodec mss1
  info "Windows Screen Video"
  status unknown
  fourcc MSS1
  driver dshow
  dll "msscds32.ax"
  guid 0x3301a7c4, 0x0a8d, 0x11d4, 0x91, 0x4d, 0x00, 0xc0, 0x4f, 0x61, 0x0d, 0x24
;  out I420
  out YUY2
  out BGR32,BGR24,BGR16,BGR15

-- snip --

and placed msscds32.ax in /usr/lib/win32.

Starting mplayer results in the following error:

Is there any chance to get it work?
