Thanks, I got it, and compiled/installed it jsut fine.
It plays on the X display by defaul, but when I try to use the "-vo fbdev"
I get the following error:

The test file was recorded with "vcr" using this config file:
[defaults]
quality = 95
keyframes = 15
codec = DivX ;-) low-motion
attributes = BitRate=1600
source = Television
norm = ntsc
verbose = 1
freqtab = us-cable
audiofrequency=44
audiobitrate=64
resolution=384
framerate = 29.97
grabdevice=/dev/video0
I'm afraid, that i don't understand all this stuff yet.
So what stupid newbie mistake am I making?
