You can copy these files from your existing Windows installation. We have provided a script doing that for you. Simply run
findw32codecs <directory name> [snip]
This thread got me to searching around on the 'net. Turns out the "findw32codec" script does a CPU-intensive search for codecs w/known names, then generates md5 checksums and compares to what it has on it's list; once found in your (presumably) legitimate windows partition, they are copied to the /usr/lib/win32 directory. But, as I said, this got me to searching. For a "cut to the chase" solution, look for the "mplayer-codecs-20020420-1" rpm at this convenient link: http://rpmfind.udoj.org/udoj/RPMS/mplayer-codecs-20020420-1.i686.html
