I have 2 possibilities for you!

1) try to open the file using the command line.  If it fails with a
'permission denied' you likely have a SE Linux problem.  You can google
for the part of the output just before the 'permission denied' or do a
/usr/sbin/setenfoce 0 (as root)

2) where did you get mplayer?  I got mine at livna.org and have had no
problems with any format (I've used all the common ones.  It does have a
problem with websites that use the mms:/// designation, but otherwise it
has worked extremely well and apparently does not require the added
codecs pack though I haven't tried any of my old .anim or .director
files from my Amiga days.
