Hrmph, this solves the problem. Thanks. I tried through the various -vo 
 options some time ago, and sdl worked on more machines so I settled for 
 that and didn't look any further.

Could some kind soul, in *simple* words, explain the actual differences 
 between the various outputs? Being a network-centric type, that's an 
 area where I Just Don't Get It from the manpages etc.

cheers.
