[MPlayer-users] Codec support request for EV/EV2 videos

[tdc]

Hi,
I have quite large collection of clips downloaded from net which are in 
EV/EV2 format (former GEO Media group, the name for the format is 
Emblaze and EmblazePro). These were often used some time ago, but it 
looks the format is dead already (the company sold multimedia division 
to some cell-phone company and moved completelly to mpeg4 based technology).
The videos made by this are still available on many places over the net 
and the player is always attached in the form of Java applet and very 
often even as ActiveX (packed as .cab as I'm not sitting anywhere near 
Windows now, I unpack it and say what's inside)

Is there any chance to get this format supported in mplayer? I can 
supply sample videos in both EV and EV2 format and the Java and ActiveX 
player (but everything should be easilly reached when looking for 
"emblaze video ev cab" on google.. one example site is here -
