Well, my GeForce has full VESA 3.0 support and all other VESA programs work OK. BTW: Deniska found an interresting thing - if you redirect the output to nul:
"MPLAYER vide.avi > nul" it (after few error messages) works.
However you can't choose a resolution and fullscreen option (/fs) breaks screen aspect ratio.
