I think I'll try it in a Virtualbox VM first I instead of a chroot.

I am certainly able to play back .wmv files here without win32codecs

I have about every plugin/codec installed that I could find. Is this
video publicly available? If it is, I'd be glad to download it and see
what I can come up with. If not, you could email it to me, off list of
