MSS2 (MS Screen) is a codec optimised for screen capture for which an
open source decoder has yet to be implemented (samples for the
interested: http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/V-codecs/MSS2/). The only way
as of now to play files encoded in this and other closed and
yet-to-be-RE'd formats is to install the so called win32/amd64/blah
blah binary codecs for MPlayer.
The procedure for this is detailed at the link I posted earlier.

An alternative:

wget http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20100303.tar.bz2
tar xvf all-20100303.tar.bz2
cd all-20100303
sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib/codecs #if this dir doesn't exist already
sudo cp -r * /usr/local/lib/codecs
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/codecs/ /usr/lib/win32

You should of course install MPlayer for this to work.

I strongly encourage members to avoid posting duplicate solutions. No
point in cluttering up threads.
