[MPlayer-users] Not able to play video file in mplayer (xine plays it fine)

Hi, I'm having this problem, there is a video file I want to transcode with 
mencoder but I'm not able to play it, I guess it should be possible to do, 
since xine plays the file fine. I attach some info of the tests I did, I 
tried a lot of things buf couldn't solve it. I would really help any help you 
can provide.
Thanks

Francisco


In xine I get the following info while playing the video:
Codec: TechSmith Video (ffmpeg)
FourCC: tscc

midentify says:

ID_FILENAME="video.mov"

ID_AUDIO_FORMAT=sowt
ID_AUDIO_BITRATE=352800
ID_AUDIO_RATE=22050

ID_LENGTH=2743

If I play the video with mplayer without extra options I get:
