Sure!

I tried the following:

  $ gnome-mplayer -v voyage.ogv > /tmp/gnome-mplayer.out 2>&1

where voyage.ogv is the short film already cited in bugs #699393 and
#696714.

As soon as the video began to play, I pressed [Ctrl+1], then [Ctrl+T],
and finally [Q].

The resulting file is attached (slightly edited).

It actually shows an error message about the inability to take
screenshots, but I fail to understand what's the problem.
It seems to talk about some command-line option (forgot
-vf screenshot?), but I haven't found this option in the man page...

Anything useful to debug my issue?
Please let me know.
Thanks for your time!


P.S.: by the way, the same output may perhaps be useful to investigate
bug #699393 ...
