[FFmpeg-user] ffplay on current build does not play mkv file but on old build does.

It did work with the 24th build. It was a weird crazy looking video but
yeah. it worked.

I've just tested playing back a .mov file and a .wmv file.  The Sept 24th
version (SDL) plays fine. The Sept 26th version (SDL2) does not, only hear
audio.

So, if it's something wrong with my display, is there something I can dload
to get it working, like a library? I'd prefer to use the most current
ffmpeg.
