[MPlayer-users] <vo_direct3d>Allocating offscreen surface failed

[Greg Bryant]

I moved the windows mplayer off my dev machine (where it works) and onto a
machine I use to watch videos now, but it didn't play.

<vo_direct3d>Allocating offscreen surface failed.
FATAL: Cannot initialize video driver.

FATAL: Could not initialize video filters (-vf) or video output (-vo).

I was compiling static, but checked depends anyway, and came up empty.  Is
there a particular direct3d driver I need to have installed?
