[MPlayer-users] Problems playing .avi files

[Phil Stracchino]

I have mplayer 0.50 working on a modified Slackware 7.0 system, but only 
for some media types.  I can play .mpg files but not .avi files.  Trying 
to play any of the .avi files I have produces the following output:


babylon5:alaric:~:1 $ mplayer Movies/Biaggi.avi

Can't open library msvidc32.dll

MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: init_video_codec 
babylon5:alaric:~:2 $ 


The dll varies with the specific file (this one requires msvidc32.dll, the 
others I have require ir41_32.dll or ir50_32.dll), but the actual error is 
always the same.

Can anyone point me at a probable source for the problem?  All paths and 
file permissions are correct.
