[MPlayer-users] mplayer fails to initialize video driver

[JD]

Hi,
Mplayer is finding some problems in the video file (see below),
and fails to initialize the video driver.
I tried with and without interlacing; i.e.
-vf scale=3:2:1
-vf scale=3:2:0
and fails in the same way.
My graphics chip is the ATI radeon mobility 9600, and yet
mplayer tries to open the nvidia vdpau backend driver.

$ mplayer video3.avi -vf scale=3:2:1
