How to play VCD files by MPlayer in Console (Without X)?
SRIKANTH NS
An earlier post was there reg playing VCD files( .DAT files) using
mplayer in console mode 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?

drop the = sign.
mplayer -vo vesa avseq01.dat
should do what you expect

Read the manual page again, it's
$ mplayer -vo vesa
without the '=' sign.
