You can try if xming or mobaxterm or nxwin or any other X server for windows offer X-Video support. But I doubt it as - to my understanding - this is something the graphics driver (the Intel driver) must provide. But the Intel driver for windows probably never will provide what an X server requies. However, even then nx still would not be able to support it. > > We _could_ pass on X-Video requests to the X-Video extension on the > > client side.

No, sorry, I have nothing available and I consider this not a real problem. You can still use the x11 or the gl output for mplayer.
