I just gave that a try - I got mplayer for windows to play wmv files
that I had, but for some reason, it still won't play the mpeg4 file I
have. The exact same file plays in linux, but in windows just says:

Playing test.mpg.

Exiting... (End of file)

and I'm certain the file is there, I can see that it is the full size.
I tried using the codecs from the mplayer site as well, it didn't seem
to make any difference

I'm not so sure that mplayer (win) is able to play mpeg4. Can anyone
verify this?
