Hi, I havn't had any luck with those modules either. Here is a manual way to run mplayer in Gtk2. This works for me, but mplayer always comes in and takes the whole window. If you can figure that out .... :-)

Notice you need killfam for completely killing mplayer's $pid.

Updated code for killfam, a few minutes after initial post, soory :-) 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Glib qw/TRUE FALSE/;
use Gtk2;
use Gtk2 '-init';
use Proc::Killfam;

my $pid;  #global for killing mplayer on exit
my $window = Gtk2::Window->new('toplevel');
$window->set_title('Embed test');
$window ->signal_connect( 'destroy' => \&delete_event );
$window->set_border_width(10);
#$window->set_size_request(600,600);


my $vbox = Gtk2::VBox->new( FALSE, 6 );
$window->add($vbox);
$vbox->set_border_width(2);

my $hbox= Gtk2::HBox->new( FALSE, 6 );
$vbox->pack_end($hbox,FALSE,FALSE,0);
$hbox->set_border_width(2);


$vbox->pack_end (Gtk2::HSeparator->new, FALSE, FALSE, 0);

my $vbox1 = Gtk2::VBox->new( FALSE, 6 );
$vbox1->set_size_request(600,500);
$vbox->pack_end($vbox1,FALSE,FALSE,0);
$vbox1->set_border_width(2);

my $button = Gtk2::Button->new_from_stock('gtk-quit');
$hbox->pack_end( $button, FALSE, FALSE, 0 );
$button->signal_connect( clicked => \&delete_event );

my $button1 = Gtk2::Button->new('Mplayer');
$hbox->pack_end( $button1, FALSE, FALSE, 0 );
$button1->signal_connect( clicked => \&do_mplayer );

$window->show_all();
Gtk2->main;

sub do_mplayer{

    my $gdkwindow = $window->window;
    print "gdkwin->$gdkwindow\n";    

    my $gdkwindow1 = $vbox1->window;
    print "gdkvbox->$gdkwindow1\n";    
    my $xid = $gdkwindow1->XWINDOW;

    print "xid->$xid\n";

    my $url ='';

my @options = (  '-slave','-loop 0', '-zoom',
                 "-x 600", "-y 450",
                  '-really-quiet',
                   "-wid $xid",
               );

my $mpg = 'z-men.mpg';
my $init = 'z-men.mpg';
$pid = open(MP, "| mplayer @options $init >/dev/null 2>&1 "); 
syswrite(MP, "loadfile $mpg\n");


}
