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:

Why might this rpm be preferrable to the tarball of Win32 codecs located at the MPlayer home site?
it probably isn't -- in fact, they're probably identical [per the rpm files listing, it appeared to be the contents of /var/lib/win32]. This was simply one I found very quickly via a google search, so I thought I'd post the link. The good news, rpm or tarball differences aside, is thtat now I can play some videos I've had sitting around on my hard disk that wouldn't even play under windows [too lazy to purge the files, and "disk space is cheap"]
