Is this the case for any format?

That's because you're talking about two different things.

mplayer -vo help lists the output formats, mplayer -vc help lists the
supported codecs.

Try doing mplayer -vo xv (or -vo gl, or -vo gl2, etc) until you find one
that works for you. Alternatively, you could rm -rf ~/.mplayer and let
it try to figure out which one it should use on its own.

As far as the proprietary formats are concerned, our official position
has to be that we can't ship these modules. They're patent encumbered,
and we'd expose the whole of Novell to liability if we shipped them.

We don't like it any more than you do.
