MPlayer 1.0pre8-3.4.2 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team

Playing [??][???][????][???]b.banana spirit.rm.

Failed to open [??][???][????][???]b.banana spirit.rm.

i figured it out now!

J:\1movies\dasian>dir /x  *.rm

REAL file format detected.

success! dir /x works.

  /X          This displays the short names generated for non-8dot3 file
              names.  The format is that of /N with the short name inserted
              before the long name. If no short name is present, blanks are
              displayed in its place.
