problem with mplayer?

[Agnes Bousquier]

Hello,

  Excuse me for disturbing you again. As Stefan Van Der Walt advised me to
do, I downloaded MPlayer and installed it on my computer. Then I tried
to extract my video frames by typing : "imread(dos('"C:/Program
Files/MPlayer/mplayer.exe" -vo png myfile.avi'))". But when I execute
the script with octave, I get the message : "Error opening/initializing
the selected video_out (-vo) device." I assume this is a problem with
MPlayer, but I did not find the solution on the Web. Could anyone please
help me? Thank you very much in advance.

Agnes
