[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH]: Fallback to null video codec

[Filip Kalinski]

Hi,

Some time ago I was complaining about crashing of mplayer when:

> 
> And when run mplayer <file> -vo null -vc none sh_video is null...
                                           ^^^^ 

Of course I wanted to use -vc null, vc none doesn't exit :-), and this
was the reason of crash (RTFM rulez!). With -vc null it works, as it should.

Anyway, I think, that in case of wrong codecs list given by user (such
as -vc none or -vc foo or somehing even more stupid) mplayer should
fallback to -vc null to not make mpayer crashing (sh_video is then
properly initialized).

This is a patch for it.
