Hey now that's just insulting!  But, sadly, true...  Circumstances have
made it that what I use most is a mac, with its awful space-wasting UI.

True, which says to me the video isn't working at all - the default is
to use OpenGL - maybe that's the problem?  You could try running it with
"-vo sdl" - if you get a small unscalable (but working) output there,
it might well be that (in which case, check your OpenGL drivers?).
