mplayer is not really a widely available application (I have, but even I
prefer an embeded kaffeine which in turn uses libxine...).
Use the OBJECT element to embed video files[*]. Specify the video format
using the TYPE attribute (e.g. video/mpeg). Let the browser figure out
which plugin is most appropriate to handle this format (which in 99.x% will
not be mplayer...).
[*] - If you *really* think that you have to embed it, instead of providing
a link for manual opening of the video. Watching videos in a standalone
player is usually much more confortable (e.g. you can resize it or play it
fullscreen). Most players support streaming (just like their plugin
counterparts), if the video is opened via the URL.
