This is VLC's unstable development branch, which doesn't include a working video output on Mac OS X (it works on Linux and Windows though). This will get fixed within the next 2 weeks. At present, the VLC instance falls back to the libcaca vout which does exactly what you are seeing in your terminal.

Depending on your needs, it may be more appropriate to compile VLC's stable branch, which is available at <git://git.videolan.org/vlc/vlc-1.1.git>

Best regards,

Felix Kühne
