MPlayer can play virtually any video file in the world, but sometimes
companies "invent" new video codecs by simply changing their codec IDs
and then MPlayer can't recognize the codec. That's why we need a sample
to figure out if it's something MPlayer can already play (then the fix
is to simply add the new ID to MPlayer's internal codec list) or if it's
really a new codec (then it might need some new code in MPlayer).

I hope that clears things up.

Dominik
