Are you sure that mplayer is designed to support playing dv files? They're not really video files as such anyway. They're not on the list of supported file formats when looking for a file with mplayer.
Have a look at these: * bug #113107 * Has mplayer been compiled with DV support? http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2005-April/052862.html ** Changed in: mplayer (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- mplayer unable to play DV avi files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/240348 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
