mtvp is the  commandline version, It doesn't show you any menu you have to pass
COMMANDLINE ARGUMENTS to it so that it can start playing.
  Its most probably something  like
	mtvp vcd:0 /* track 0 */
	mtvp file:/mnt/cdrom/xyz /* a file */

You got those balls going up and down because YOU DIDN"T specify ANY Arguments
to it.

It can play .dat files. For that matter it can work on raw mpeg streams with
out any file header attached to them, which I found the Windows MediaPlayer
COULDNOT do.
