What box exactly? There are multiple architectures out there with multiple machines on each architecture. To help someone help you try to send the output of dmesg command. If you are not familiar with it, try the following command in terminal: man dmesg. This output will help people to identify your hardware and a bit of software you are currently using. > The "-geometry=50%:50%" doesn't work (doesn't put the videos in > center). > The "-fs" doesn't work.

I am thinking you are using a laptop and you try to output the movie on its VGA plug. I did this and it is not working first try. You need to change the video output driver, see the -vo flag. I don't remember which driver I used back then, but I tried all of them and one was able to output on the VGA in fullscreen mode. If I recall, I had to disable the laptop display output, too. Select one driver, then press 'f' key and check the result.
