I should have been more specific: whenever I try to specify an option on
the command line, g2 just quits:

$ ./test-play -nosound ../movie.avi
Using GNU internationalization
Original domain: messages
Original dirname: /usr/share/locale
Current domain: mplayer
Current dirname: /usr/local/share/locale
CPU: Advanced Micro Devices  (Family: 6, Stepping: 0)
Detected cache-line size is 64 bytes

(that was the full output)

Actually, I partially retract that. It seems that some options work, but
I had never tried them before. Anyway, the above is true when I try
$ ./test-play -vf tfields ../movie.avi

Do I just have some syntax wrong?

Thanks,
Corey
