first thing: i had absolutely no problems watching that episode ( i'm
still downloading anbu-wolfs-rain-02-v2.avi so i haven't tried that, but
anbu-wolfs-rain-02.avi worked without problems ). so it's 100% possible
without using divx5 codec

questions:
1. did you try to simply watch it? like "mplayer rain-02.avi"?

2. what version of mplayer are you using? did you compile it from
source? rpm?

That's life for you, said McDunn.  Someone always waiting for someone 
who never comes home.  Always someone loving something more than that 
thing loves them.  And after awhile you want to destroy whatever 
that thing is, so it can't hurt you no more.
