Getting a bit off topic...
What video card are you running? xvinfo shows the driver you are using
for it doesn't support xv.
Do what the message suggests (mplayer -vo help) and pick a different
video output driver ("mplayer -vo sdl" for example), or maybe you can
find a different driver for your video card that supports the xvideo
extension.
Check mplayer's site. There's a ton of documentation that would prove
very helpful.
