This is probably the same problem that I had for another course from
the same site. See the thread at
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2007-December/070947.html
, and especially the response at
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2007-December/070957.html
. I managed to find another set of
videos for the same lectures at archive.org that played fine (you
might have to force MPlayer to use binary codecs
though, see the linked thread). Maybe your course is available there as well.
