[Mplayer-dvb] using mplayer to view a .dat file over DVB

[Paul Lacatus]

I want to view a bad copy of a vcd in that the vcd contents was copied 
in a directory not in the root of cd . Also it is a full iso9660 cd .
So VDR does not recognize it as a videocd. I want to use the mplayer to 
fulfill this task.

Since the source compiling gave me some errors, i've installed the rpms 
on my redhat 7.3 machine! the very interesting part is the message that 
mplayer gave me:

# mplayer -vo mpegpes avseq01.dat .............
 Playing avseq01.dat Cache fill: 0.00% (0 bytes) Detected MPEG-PS file 
format!
VIDEO: MPEG1 352x288 (aspect 8) 25.00 fps 1400.0 kbps (175.0 kbyte/s) 
==========================================================================
Detected audio codec: [mp3] afm:mp3lib (mp3lib MPEG layer-2, layer-3)

ch, sfmt: 0x10 (2 bps), ratio: 28000->176400 (224.0 kbit)
vo_mpegpes: Read-only file system
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device!
Exiting... (End of file)

the "Read-Only file system" error looks like the "Operation not 
permitted" that I got on the

# cp avseq01.dat /dev/ost/video  

command
 
I am running cp and mplayer as root and the drivers were just reloaded 
and no dvb application is running
