[MPlayer-users] ffmpeg and SDL problem

[monsieurploploop]

I've a little problem while using ffmpeg's codecs and SDL video output
> (using
>   x11 driver). When I try to play a video using ffmpeg codec, with the
> "-vo sdl"
>   option, I obtain a black screen. But with some video, I can obtain a
> image when
>   I use double size mode (press "n"). And others video just play fine in
> all mode. This problem doesn't happen while using win32 codecs, but if you
> can help

> I've add the 3 verbose output. One of a "working" video (works
> perfectly), one
>   of a "little working" video (got only an image in double size mode),
> and the
>   last of a "non working" video (no image at all).

No, my poor old video card doesn't support it...
