mplayer video output driver not working

[Kevin Smith]

I do see now that the 2nd message after the error reflects the 2nd 
choice driver - so that's probably not it.

I've tried dvd://   dvd:://9  dvd:://1  etc.  - results in a quick flash 
of of what looks like window is created for a split second and mplayer 
exits with the output in my previous email.   It appear that it looks 
like it sees a very short track then exits, however, I play the same DVD 
titles on xine and it works fine.  The titles are not that short.

btw, to get rid of the warning, I just compiled it with make 
-DWITHOUT_RUNTIME_CPUDETECTION.  I didn't expect that to help (and it 
didn't) but I was trying to eliminated all possibilities.
