Do you have drvc.so installed correctly?
of cource I installed drvc.so correctly. login as root and run "/usr/share/mplayer/scripts/binary_codecs.sh install",then the /usr/lib/codecs is created by this script,the symbol-link is correct.

Please provide the complete log of the video decoder initialization in verbose mode (-v), the part between the = signs. Also, if you could put your sample or a small part of it up for download that would help a great deal
OK,I will give the complete log file later. But I'm quite sure before I manually add a symbol-link like this "ln -s /usr/lib/codecs/drvc.so /usr/lib/codecs/drv4.so.6.0",None of rmvb files in my pc can be played but just after the symbol-link is made,almost all the rmvb files can be correctly played by mplayer..

Solution 2 is just my lazy workround for this issue,may be there are better way such as push the maintainer of real video codecs provide more arch specific drv4.so.6.0 besides i386 :)
