sample is uploaded  (samples.tar.bz2). Inside there are 3 avis

mzsh:		works with dll, no native codec found, maybe someone will try to
		 make some ;-)
zlib:		works with dll, native codec shows only first frame....
huffyuv:	works with dll, native codec makes very buggy output

provided samples are without sound - so they don't crash dll for me (but you wrote 
that my older sample worked with cvs version and dlls so I think it is fixed now).

good luck.

and I have one more question about zlib. Do you know throttlebox files? It looks they 
are something like archive with texts, pictures and movie. Movie is mpeg4 and I think 
they use media player in their player so maybe it is avi/asf. Archive is packed using 
zlib (I found zlib.dll included with player), Is it possible to find how it is packed? It 
would be nice to make mplayer work with box files (because original player works 
only in windows)

any idea?
