[MPlayer-users] Please help a newbie with AVI video only problem

[Jason Arnold]

Okay, so I've successfully built mplayer 0.90pre5-3.1 and
can play DVDs without a hitch (and may I just say that this
product is awesome)!

Anyway, now I'm trying to play some old Sirius movieCD's
that I purchased around 4 years ago.

They consist of a really poor quality windows player and an
avi of the actual movie.

So I try:
mplayer seven1.avi

and it plays the audio track, but no video and comes back
with:
VIDEO:  []  320x236  16bpp  14.99 fps  1304.5 kbps (159.2
kbyte/s)
Detected audio codec: [pcm] afm:2 (Uncompressed PCM)
Opening audio decoder: [pcm] Uncompressed PCM audio decoder
AUDIO: 11025 Hz, 1 ch, sfmt: 0x8 (1 bps), ratio:
11025->11025 (88.2 kbit)
vo: X11 running at 1280x1024 with depth 16 and 16 bpp (":0"
=> local display)
==========================================================================
Can't find codec matching selected -vo and video format

*** If it's still not OK, then read DOCS/codecs.html!
==========================================================================

Video: no video!!!

So anyway, here's the same output but with the -v option.
I've tried messing around with -vo options and changing
bitdepths of my X environment to match the avi, but all to
no avail.  What am I missing?
