AlienBBC install is as per the instruction - the fiddly bit is with mplayer. A suitable prebuilt mplayer can be got from the mplayer sites ( http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html ). Mplayer for OSX is bundled with a GUI which is the "mplayer" which is seen when you install this dmg. You need to get at the command line maplyer which is buried down a few levels. Danco posted this advice about the mplayer from mplayerhq.
