"View as ASCII" (filename: ascii_view.desktop) is a small KDE service menu which allows you to watch videos using only ASCII characters. Try it, it's fun!

The bigger resolution you're using, the higher image quality you'll get. You can customize the file (ascii_view.desktop) using text editor, and adding commands like: -aareverse -aabold -aadim -aaboldfont -aanormal and so. Type "mplayer -aahelp" in terminal to learn more.

Some thing about this should work on Linux console or the Konsole:
if [ -n "`echo \"$U\" | grep matrix`" ]; then
echo $'\e'[32m ; echo $'\e'[1m
mplayer blah-blah-blah
echo $'\e'[0m

And I also would suggest the option "-ao arts" for those who use it. Or maybe it's jet old-fashioned...
By the way,
Name[es]=Ver como ASCII
Greets!

And there is the command line to have a bit more comfortable viewing :-)
backslash before quotation marks are neccesary:
kstart --fullscreen mplayer -aareverse -aabold -aadim -aaboldfont -aanormal -vo aa \"%U\"
