I personally find mplayer to be the king of formats

I was going to when it happened, but I couldn't. There were no right click options and ctrl+c didn't work. I also don't know how to take screen images.
I'm using DSL, fluxbox, and bash.
Easy. Just do this
"mplayer -vo gl2 -xy 800 test-0002.mpeg &> mplayer_out_log"
Then just copy/paste the contents of mplayer_out_log here
For those curious about what happened, its really quite simple. The '>' operator tells BASH to redirect stdout to a file. Doing '>>' tells it to append. And the '&' before it tells it to also redirect stderr (without that all the errors would be echoed to the terminal and not sent to the file )

Uh... you are asking it to play test-0001.mpeg instead of test-0002.mpeg (either that or you aren't in the directory that the file is at)
/me slaps foamy for giving mplayer the wrong file name Come on man, use that tab auto-completion! (as in type 'mplayer -vo gl2 test-<TAB KEY>' and it should auto-fill in the rest of test-0002.mpeg assuming that you are running the command in the same folder as the file you downloaded)
(note this part of the output: "File not found: 'test-0001.mpeg' ")

Umm... the file I have is called test-0001.mpeg. And I didn't know about the tab thing.
Let me try moving it to my hd and trying it.
Here you go. The sound played again this time.

Hmm... I would assume that you have the codec, so my only guess is that its an older version of mplayer. I'll see about just re-encoding the video, and seeing if that fixes it though.
I downloaded mplayer a couple weeks ago through the myDSL extension browser. You click an icon on the desktop for mydsl, it gives you a list of a bunch of programs, you download one, and then it is automatically installed for you. I've only ever installed programs by doing that, and by just downloading the .dsl file to install. I've never successfully installed any other type of linux file. Just the myDSL apps.
Oh, and while on the topic, is what I just described sort of like apt-get? I've never used apt-get before.

Yes, they're very similar (although methinks myDSL is closer to synaptic, which is just a frontend to apt-get). You'd just do something like 'apt-get install mysql-server' to install the mySQL server, or find it in synaptic and install it.
Which is similar to how most package managers work. In gentoo its just 'emerge <package-name>'. But just because you did it a couple weeks ago doesn't mean that it is a recent version. It could be an mplayer version that came out 6 months to a 1+ year ago. Although I'm uncertain why you have had such trouble installing linux programs? Don't you always read the README's and INSTALL text files? For most programs, its as simple as './configure && make && make install' (the last one must be done as root)

'./configure && make && sudo make install'
Only works if sudo is installed and configured, which is why I didn't say that, as its not part of the standard baselayout

Yes, multiple times. I read the whole thing once to get a general idea. I then do what it tells me with the readme still open. When it doesn't work, I reread the readme. Lastly, I go to the forum and look for people with similar problems. (I usually don't start topics about things like that, though. Shame on me, there.)
Uh... you really shouldn't be having problems, but the next time you try, post whats going wrong here. I've dealt with many problems in linux, I could probably help you, or at least point you in the right direction

I don't really know what that means, but it sounds logical. I'm using an extremely minimalistic distro (and an older version, at that). The whole cd is < 50mb.
