I have built Mplayer, mencoder etc. from SVN a month ago. Check the desktop-discuss archives. Mplayer, mencoder, Vlc et. al. are all available on BeleniX - not the old versions but recent SVN ones. These SPEC files from the BeleniX repo will provide you the proper build recipes to get working packages: http://belenix.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/belenix/trunk/spec_files/encumbered/ But one caveat is these use Gcc 4.4 from the BeleniX repo. If you are building on SUN's OpenSolaris distro you can use Gcc 4.3.x by installing the gcc-dev group package.
