Mmm, try with this:

***
mplayer -wid 0x1201a26 -vf scale=640:-3 -osdlevel 1 -nojoystick \
   -noconsolecontrols -cookies -softvol -slave -user-agent NSPlayer \
   -nomouseinput -cache 512
   mms://70.61.148.132/WXOD/WCT%2018120.WMV?MSWMExt=.asf
***

Note the use of "mms://" protocol instead "http://"; one.
