These instructions are for linux only...

Okay, so I got bored at college, and had a play around with some things.. and what I came up with was amazing

First, make sure you have mplayer downloaded
Quote:
sudo apt-get install mplayer
Next, download the AA-Lib:
Quote:
sudo apt-get install libaa-bin
Okay, so now here is the cool bit!
(You'll need an avi video for this... you can download youtube videos from Vixy.net in avi format (y) )

Code:
mplayer -vo aa xxxxx.avi
...Obv. change xxxxx.avi to your video name .avi

Nice huh?

and if you want to view the video in color:

Code:
sudo apt-get install caca-utils
Next:

Code:
mplayer -vo caca xxxxx.avi


Have a look at some of the settings
Code:
mplayer -vo --help
and you cn change the contrast etc.

If you want a really good example of what this can do, :

Code:
sudo apt-get install bb
then:

Code:
bb
ALSO! check this out:

Code:
aafire

I had a lot of fun watching cartoons on this!
If you have any problems, just ask.. I had a lot of problems whilst getting this to work, so I should be able to help you.

I saw that yesterday. It wasn't a bad movie. I actually enjoyed it, but I felt it was too short. I guess their trying to stay away from what happened in Rambo 3...It was 2 hours of talking and 20 mins of action...

yeah as opposed to Rambo 4, 5 minutes of talking and 1 hour and 25 minutes of action. It would be cooler if it went for a bit longer though.
