What kind of movie are you trying to play? You need to have mplayer compiled with the right dll's or codecs or whatever you call them for things like widows media and quicktime. I don't know if the emails from this list have been put into an archive lately, but Richard Esplin posted some nice instructions for getting mplayer all compiled with the right stuff to watch wma and quicktime about a week ago. I still have the email if you don't.
If you happen to be using Mandrake 9 you don't have to compile anything, you can add the Penguin Liberation Front to your sources (search google for easy urpmi) and then just type (as root) urpmi mplayer and you will get mplayer with all the good stuff.
