after that it 's just show blue screen..................

hi vanhelsing,
the output you provided suggests that mplayer tries to play the movie but does not seem to know what to do with it.

Have you successfully played other movies? I assume so, your mplayer seems to work right.

The CD you are trying to play obviously comes with a windows executable that is supposed to be used to play the movie. I find it possible (although very windowsy) that the movie format is non-standard, which would explain mplayer's inability to play the file.

If you absolutely must play the movie, you might want to try this:
rename the file to have a .mpg or .avi extension (the folder is called "mpegav", so it probably is a mpeg file in a avi wrapper, if anything)
use a different program (xine being the one that is most likely to understand files that mplayer cannot)
try running the windows executable with wine (you have very(!) little chance that this will work)

Good luck, I am sorry for the bad news,

u mean that I must copy whole cd to harddisk, and rename file" avseq01.dat"?
What command that use to rename file?

what does:
file avseq01.dat
return?
to try xine, just run:
xine avseq01.dat

to rename it, run
mv avseq01.dat /path/where/you/want/to/save/it/avseq01.avi

where 's website to download xine?, I download file " rpm -i xine-0.9.22-1.fr.i386.rpm"
I install it

root@localhost bee]# rpm -i xine-0.9.22-1.fr.i386.rpm
warning: xine-0.9.22-1.fr.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID e42d547b
error: Failed dependencies:
libaa.so.1 is needed by xine-0.9.22-1.fr
libxine.so.1 is needed by xine-0.9.22-1.fr
xine-lib >= 1.0.0 is needed by xine-0.9.22-1.fr

and when I install "xine-lib" , it asked me to install many many file
I want the file that I can install once,

I using redhat 9

I alread rename file " avseq01.dat" to "avseq01.avi" , but it don't work
this 's all my problem--------------->

Hi vanhelsing,
you may have to prepare for the possibility that you wont be able to watch this video in linux, since it was obviously meant to be played in windows only.
On your installation issue: are you familiar with "yum" and "apt-get"? These tools can handle dependencies for you. You may want to look into that.

Good luck,
