[avi @ 0x129f780] Something went wrong during header parsing, I will ignore it and try to continue anyway.
[mpeg4 @ 0x12a17a0] hmm, seems the headers are not complete, trying to guess time_increment_bits
[mpeg4 @ 0x12a17a0] my guess is 5 bits ;)

with the new GXAMP4.dll binary, uploaded here
http://samples.ffmpeg.org/drivers32/new/GXAMP4.dll
( old dll is http://samples.ffmpeg.org/drivers32/new/GXAMP4.dll-old )
gmp4 now works in mplayer (tested on windows)
another new sample:
http://samples.ffmpeg.org/V-codecs/GMP4/Event20120111133101017.avi
not that any of this helps ffmpeg, but at least gmp4 can be converted by mencoder now.
