It seems there is no Xvideo support for your video card available.
Run 'xvinfo' to verify its Xv support and read DOCS/HTML/en/video.html#xv!
See 'mplayer -vo help' for other (non-xv) video out drivers. Try -vo x11
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

mplayer and gmplayer can have a different video driver (-vo) by default.

The default driver for mplayer is in gui.conf, option is called: vo_driver = "gl2"
For mplayer it is in the config file, option is called: vo=gl2,gl,xv,x11

The drivers mentioned in the example could be different for you.
You can check which drivers work by forcing mplayer to use a specific driver:

mplayer -vo gl2 <some.moving.stuff>

Available drivers can be retrieved by issuing the following command:

mplayer -vo help

Hope this helps.
