[MPlayer-users] How to play MTV files?

[Andrew Savchenko]

Hi,

I want to play MTV video files with mplayer, but r26841 fails to do 
so. This files may be found on Acorp mp3 multimedia player 
MP619iCF-T41 and I created some MTV samples with some damn stupid, 
binary, m$-only utility which comes with this player.

Also I found some MTV samples on http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/mtv/, 
but I got sound playback only with them.

Am I missing some (binary?) codec or there is no way to play MTV at 
all? And what the hell is going with an audio stream from my 
sample? "Could not find codec parameters (Audio: mp3, 128 kb/s)" 
seems to be strange for me. I can upload this or some similar 
samples if needed.

Mplayer's output follows...
Here is output for my MTV sample:
