Do you still get this error with the new vo_driver?. Just for giggles, if you read the mplayer docs, there is command-line options for mplayer (non-gui) that allow for many esoteric and not very useful video outputs such as ascii, I would try some of these. Also, I had assumed, but does mplayer or gmplayer work on any video, or is it just this one causing the grief? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFF8Qlv5mBKdb7VQEcRAuQEAKCdrvtYgCOgAVv4lyxS74hX3WPCDgCcCvZY CxGi2u/fLh/snuu9UYGRM5A= =R0Md -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
