Hi Listers, An earlier post was there reg playing VCD files( .DAT files) using mplayer in console without even entering into X.
I run RH 7.3 on a Celeron 900MHz 128MB RAM system. Mother board is Intel 815e Chipset onboard video and sound. I downloaded and compiled MPlayer (0.90). It is running movie files satisfactorily, but only in X (My ususal X is KDE). I tried to run it from console with the command " mplayer -vo=vesa avseq01.dat" , the error message says vo=vesa is not an encoder option. I ran "mplayer -vo help" and the following video outputs were found to be compiled. x11 X11 x11 X11 gl X11 gl2 X11 dga DGA sdl SDL YUV fbdev Frame Buffer device png PNG file jpeg JPEG file gif89 GIF 89 null null video output pgm PGM File vesa VESA VBE 2.0 video output xvidix X11 Trying to run it with "mplayer -vo=fbdev avseq01.dat" also resulted in failure (it says permission denied for opening /dev/fb0, which I believe is the default device to be used). What else is to be done to play movie in console?
