It is funny that on two computers that I installed this weekend, both 
had the same problem with mplayer.  Even from cli.  Videos play in xine.

I don't know it is a codec issue of a configuration issue.  One thing I 
did note is that the all-*.* codec file requires a chmod 755 to the 
final directory.  It seemed to fix the issue on one computer but I 
haven't had a chance to try it on the other computer yet.
