TermVideo: View Video Files in a Terminal

This is interesting but requires a true colour terminal, i was kind of hoping it would transcode to ASCII art each frame... Hmmm interesting weekend project i think.

Edit : just looking through the source, it actually looks like it is doing that.. the true colour should be optional so!

you can use the command line argument -b ascii to use ascii (thanks for reminding me to add documentation!)

Circa 2005 mplayer supported both “aalib” and “calib” output for black and Color ascii art respectively.
