Sorry for such a quick textmode IOTD follow-up.
What happened was that someone posted some matrix-trailer-inna-textmode
production, and I figured that my textmode renderer probably would look
better (although it's far from perfect - aalib for instance makes much
better results)... so I downloaded some mpeg software simulation group
sources and made an mpeg player for textmode. Then I talked about this
on #coders for a bit and someone tossed the idea that I could make an
avi player.
... "yeah right", I said ...
Anyway, then I was bored again and glanced at the DirectShow API and
figured I might actually do it. The result is here - windows media
player that outputs in NT console. It can play almost everything
windows media player can, so yes, if you have a DivX codec installed,
you can watch DivX AVIs with this, in textmode.
The images:

The binaries can be found on http://iki.fi/sol
Unfortunately I won't be releasing the source, since it's such
an ugly mess. The ascii art renderer source can, however, be
downloaded from my site.
