How to get WIN32 QuickTime audio/video codecs working with MPlayer?
===================================================================

1. Get MPlayer CVS (read the docs how to...), and compile this way:
   ./configure --enable-qtx-codecs --enable-win32
   make

2. Get the QuickTime DLLs pack:
   QT6 DLLs (should be faster):
     http://www.mplayerhq.hu/~alex/codecs/qt6dlls.tar.bz2
   QT5 DLLs (we (developers) use this):
     http://www.mplayerhq.hu/~alex/codecs/qt5dlls.tar.bz2
   Or if you have already downloaded the qt-dotwine.tar.bz2,
   you can use it too.
   NOTE: qt6-dlls.tar.bz2 from releases/ doesn't contains qtmlClient.dll!

3. Extract the files:
   Normally the WIN32 codecs directory is the following: /usr/lib/win32
   Extract the QuickTime.qts, QuickTimeEssentials.qtx and qtmlClient.dll
   to that dir (or to that what you have configured).
   (In case of qt-dotwine.tar.bz2, the dlls can be found in
   .wine/fake_windows/Windows/System/ directory)

3a. Extract the extras:
   If you want to be _really_ up-to-date, you can also copy the not-yet
   supported codecs too: 3ivx Delta 3.5.qtx, On2_VP3.qtx, ZyGoVideo.qtx,
   BeHereiVideo.qtx. They can be found in the
   http://www.mplayerhq.hu/~alex/codecs/qtextras.tar.bz2 archive.

4. It should work now.
   Else send real _bugreports_ to the mplayer-users@mplayerhq.hu list!
   (and only to that one!) And please include that which codecpack have you
   chosen.
