I just received my BBB so I haven't had a chance to try it out yet. I do know that Angstrum Linux comes with mplayer. Someone on this forum has already been trying to use it with the following parameters ... just put your filename at the end.
mplayer -vo fbdev2 -zoom -x 800 -y 480 If you are still stuck then try checking out mplayers website. Myself, I much prefer vlc but there are issues getting it to compile for Angstrum and I don't know the steps.
