Re: Round two mPlayer

[Brian Keefe <bkeefe@gmail.com>]

Here is another error message I get occasionally and on this one the
video refuses to play:

        
        The dialog window is titled "Fatal Error"
        Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device
        
Here's the link that croaked the player session:

Thanks in advance for any time you may give this.
