You may also link over to the RealPlayer 7 .so codec from the mplayer
codecs directory - effectively enabling mplayer to play Real Media formats.

With the latest win32codecs, the qt6 codecs have been rolled in. Mplayer
can play most Quicktime media without problems.

My biggest problem has been with bizarre Microsoft .WMV files that
simply choke (only some though, most seem to play just fine).

I used mplayer on 4 diskless linux laptops and a central Linux NFS
"video server" to run the 4 streaming video rooms at Metrocon a month
ago. Over 3 days of Anime, in 4 rooms, running 24 hours a day - mplayer
chugged along with nay a glitch. I'm unaware of the same thing being
done elsewhere.
