OT: Need help with mplayer

[Mark Phillips]

The problem is solved....here is the information from the mplayer user list:

It should work fine with -demuxer lavf (your issue is reproducible with
samples/sp_sample1.rm), but the simpler variant is probably:
ffmpeg -i The_Zero_Hour_08_14_44.rm outfile.mp3
