You are trying to play 24-bit video on an 8-bit display.  Nearly nothing
works with 8-bit color because such displays are usually palettes,
whereas 16- and 24-bit are continuous color spectra.

Change your frame buffer device to 16- or 24-bit color.  You can use the
fbset program or change it at boot time.  See the documentation for
fbset for more information.
