 From the mplayer documentation:


x264 is a library for creating H.264 video. MPlayer sources are updated 
whenever an x264 API change occurs, so it is always suggested to use 
MPlayer from Subversion.

If you have a GIT client installed, the latest x264 sources can be 
gotten with this command:

git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264.git

Then build and install in the standard way:

./configure && make && make install

Now rerun ./configure for MPlayer to pick up x264 support.


Good luck Gene
