out the box, the one that does not is playing .wmv video. I am using the

I can confirm the problem is a lack of video. I can play other .wmv files
fine but this one just has sound.
Whoever put the video together has missed a setting somewhere and made an
audio only file. Unless there is some strange microsoft jiggery pokery
going on to hide the video track.
The file does seem aweful big for just audio.
If you hunt through the below you'll notice mplayer doesn't even look for
a video codec. It just reports no video stream.
