That is true. My mplayer creates a file grab.mpg.

I downloaded the sources and tried to compile mplayer by myself. I enabled dvb 
support ( I had to tweak ./configure in order to make it find the header 
files. It searches in a subdirectory ost/ which I do not have. I got the dvb 
sources from the cvs repository on www.linuxtv.org).

My TV card is Hauppauge Nexus-S. The new mplayer runs fine from the console.
But with the mplayer plugin it crashes with the message:


VO: [mpegpes] 480x320 => 480x320 Mpeg PES
DVB: height=320 not supported (try 240/480 (ntsc) or 288/576 (pal)
FATAL: Cannot initialize video driver.
init_vo failed

MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: decode_video
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
  Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
  disassembly. For details, see DOCS/bugreports.html#crash.b.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
  It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your gcc
  version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read DOCS/bugreports.html
  and follow the instructions there. We can't and won't help unless you 
provide
  this information when reporting a possible bug.


Any ideas how to make it work?
Thanks, Matthias
