Claudio what's the deal with this one?
I'm still getting a blank screen, although it seemed to be more of a dark grey than a black this time. It didn't matter whether I used -l 0 or not. FWIW the pixel format was YV12. > A short test of df_xine has convinced me to stick with mplayer.

What CPU do you have? df_xine just showed up as 0% here on my 1.2GHz Celeron. I would have thought it would register a few % for the sound even if it wasn't trying to show the picture. I couldn't check whether the sound was playing properly because I'm running it remotely from a different room from the TV ATM. -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk
