[MPlayer-users] mplayer and v4l: codec problem?

[Andreas Hasenack]

Below is the output of mplayer trying to use v4l. I can watch the video
signal with xawtv and even capture it using ffmpeg, so I think the problem
is not exactly with the v4l setup. But mplayer (and mmencoder) give this error:

==========================================================================
Opening video decoder: [raw] RAW Uncompressed Video
VDecoder init failed :(
Can't find codec matching selected -vo and video format 0x32315659 !

The video card is an Asus V7700 Deluxe (geforce 2 GTS) and I'm using the rivatv
kernel module (http://drama.obuda.kando.hu/~fero/cgi-bin/rivatv.php).

/etc/codecs.conf is the one that came with 0.90pre5, I also tried it in ~/.mplayer.
Found lots of "raw" references in it, tried to add format 0x32315659 in some places
in codecs.conf but didn't work.

Any help is appreciated.
