Background videos won't play in Linux

[ordinaryk]

I'm running Stepmania 3.9rc2a on Slackware Linux 10.1 (2.4.29 kernel) with an Nvidia GeForce 6600 PCI-Express video card. I've got Nvidia's latest drivers installed, and I've also installed the divx libraries for Linux from divx.com.

When I play Stepmania, background videos will not play. All I get is a black background, which is very boring. Ordinary .png files will show up just fine.

Any Linux gurus out there who can help? If it helps any, here's my stepmania.ini file:
