I experienced this problem when playing VCD using command line: $mplayer -zoom -vo x11 -framedrop vcd://1 and it will output this: -------------------------------------------------------------------- Opening audio decoder: [libdv] Raw DV Audio Decoder Unknown/missing audio format -> no sound ADecoder init failed :( Opening audio decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg/libavcodec audio decoders Cannot find codec \'dvaudio\' in libavcodec... ADecoder init failed :( ADecoder init failed :( Cannot find codec for audio format 0x56444152. Read DOCS/HTML/en/codecs.html! Audio: no sound Starting playback... V: 0.0 0/ 0 ??% ??% ??,?% 0 0 gnome_screensaver_control() Exiting... (End of file) -------------------------------------------------------------------- This could be resolved in two ways: 1. $mplayer -vo x11 -zoom -framedrop vcd://n where \'n\' is the track or chapter (it should be 2 or greater). -vo x11 is the video output since I\'m using vesa driver -zoom is the scaling of video so I could watch in fullscreen -framedrop so the video and audio syncs. 2. $mplayer -gui -zoom -vo x11 vcd://n where \'n\' is the track or chapter -gui the mplayer playback controls will show This will play the VCD and an gnome-screensaver-control error will show. Ignore the error by clicking ok then right-click on mplayer screen select Open->Play VCD. enjoy! :)
