Hmm... I've seen something like this when there's already another copy 
of mplayer (or possibly even another video player running).  I can't be 
very helpful with specifics, but maybe there's a device or a file that's 
in use by some other process.  Also, have you tried calling mplayer with 
the -fs flag rather than trying to switch to fullscreen after opening 
the file?

Also, I've had relatively good success with VLC, Xine, and Ogle, but 
mplayer is by far the best for bizarre codecs and broken files.
