just mplayer then the url (above) worked fine. Make sure you have  
divxa32.acm in /usr/lib/win32 (you did get the w32codecs didn't you?)

on my MPlayer 0.90pre9-2.96 (C) 2000-2002 Arpad Gereoffy (see DOCS) It plays 
just fine. (using the win32 dlls)

upgrading to 0.90rc1 (redhat 7.3, MPlayer 0.90pre9-2.96) resulted in it 
trying to play using ffwmav2 stopping, then using the win32 dll
