This is the video format detected --- VP7. You can read more about it on

It appears you don't have the codec installed.

Ok. This is how it goes.
First of all, I really don't recommend running anything (including mplayer) as
root. You have been warned! That said, maybe mplayer *does* have the required
codec installed, but not in root's path, for security reasons. So you might
want to try it out as a regular user.
Second, mplayer seems to know about this type of video, and what codec is
required:
[vmarko@Yoda ~]$ mplayer -vc help | grep vp7
vp7 vfwex working On2 VP7 Personal Codec [vp7vfw.dll]
So what you need is to find the file vp7vfw.dll somewhere, and put it somewhere
where mplayer can find it, like in /usr/lib/codecs or /usr/lib64/codecs
(depending on your arch). You can download the codec .exe installer for
Windows directly from On2 website:
http://www.on2.com/index.php?617
// Side note: on this page you can find sample vp7 files to try out, which are
of reasonable size. //
After you have downloaded it, you need to unpack it somehow, typically running
it under Windows (or under wine, you'll find the vp7vfw.dll inside
~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/ directory after installation of the .exe
package). But since your Windows already plays the file without problems, my
bet is that the vp7vfw.dll is already there somewhere, do a search on in under
Windows system files, and you'll probably find it. Copy it over to Fedora and
put it into the above codec directories.
Third, it seems that you are running 64bit arch, which might present itself as
a tad little problem, since the .dll file is 32bit and will not work in your
environment. What you need to do is to
(1) do a "yum remove mplayer"
(2) download the 32bit version from here:
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/releases/12/Everything/i386/os/mplayer-1.0-0.111.20091029svn.fc12.i686.rpm
(3) do a "yum localinstall mplayer-1.0-0.111.20091029svn.fc12.i686.rpm"
(4) make sure that the vp7vfw.dll file is in /usr/lib/codecs directory
(5) play the movie
Of course, installing 32bit mplayer on 64bit machine might be something you
don't want to do, but AFAIK there is no way to make mplayer (or any player)
use the 32bit windows binary codecs if it was compiled for 64bit arch.
I hope that covers it. Works on my machine at least (32bit mplayer on 64bit
F12/KDE). ;-)
Best, :-)
