Re: mplayer
I have tried differnet -vo options but get the same result when I run it as a
normal user. When run as root there is no problem with the -vo option
and the movie starts to play.
When run as a normal user without the -vo option just mplayer "movie name"
I get the following

Could not find matching colorspace - retrying with -vf scale...

The selected video_out device is incompatible with this codec.
FATAL: Could not initialize video filters (-vf) or video output (-vo).
Can't restore text mode: Invalid argument
Exiting... (End of file)
Why would root not have a problem with the -vo option but a normal user would?
