Hi all,
Apologies as posting on quite an oldish thread.
I am on Debian sid and use the debian-multimedia repo to keep my multimedia stuff together. I came to know about mplayer2 just a day back and then saw the whole article and thread at phoronix. I tried posting my issue at the mailing list but for some reason it seems it does not work.
Anyway this is the current version of mplayer2 I have :-
Code:
$ dpkg -l mplayer2
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)

ii mplayer2 1:2.0~git20111203-0.2 Advanced general-purpose video player.
Some info. about the VCD in question :-
Code:
/media/NEW$ ls
cdi ext mpegav segment vcd
/media/NEW$ du -shc

/media/NEW/mpegav$ ll -h

attempt to play the VCD through mplayer2 :-
Code:
$ mplayer2 vcd://3

MPlayer interrupted by signal 6 in module: open_stream
- 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/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.
Now trying to play the VCD, now through mplayer :-

As can be seen it does play with mplayer (with filtering some decoders and finding whatever it needed to find) and played it.
Now trying to find some info. mediainfo :-

ii mediainfo 0.7.52-0.0 Supplies information about a video or audio file.
As can be seen even mediainfo is not able to give any info. Any help would be useful.
