	I'm a little suspicious of the libmpcdec, otherwise I see no problems.
find out what that rpm is (rpm -qi libmpcdec) find out if it is codecs
and if so for what.  What format are the videos with the problem in?
(mpg, avi h.264 etc?).

	FWiW I installed everything mplayer from livna and have had no problems
- Good luck
