That's just a start :-). I once spent a while doing google searches
for mplayer codecs, and downloading every collection I could find,
as well as doing things like getting the linux realplayer download
and extracting the .so files from it, then building a composite
/usr/lib/codecs directory with everything added in (and an attempt
to deduce the "newest" version when there were dups).
I have no idea which codec did it, but I have been able to play at
least some real video files since then. (I also note that the
/usr/lib/codecs stuff only really works for 32 bit mplayer).
