Sorry, I don't know the version and I can't seem to figure out how to find it either. I do know that I installed it back on August 02, 2005, if that helps at all. Considering it was rather old, you're probably right about the reason it crashed and I should have thought of that. Anyway, I updated Mplayer and here's the result:
Mplayer Latest Version: Works fine. CPU usage of 95-98%.
It seems that watching H.264 encodes is no longer impossible for those of us with P-IIIs. I haven't tested CCCP or the latest version of Ffdshow, but I do now know that both the latest Mplayer and VLC work for me, whereas five months ago nothing worked.
