[MPlayer-cygwin] codecs.conf

[PBVillaflores at smart.com.ph]

Your suggestion about -codecs-file did work.  I tried to point it to a
codecs file which I have edited to contain the ATI VCR codec dll that I
think is the one used by ATI's TV recorder.

I edited an existing entry in codecs.conf as follows;

videocodec ffmpeg2
  info "FFmpeg MPEG-2"
  status working
  format 0x10000002  ; MPEG-2
  fourcc mpg2
  driver ffmpeg
  dll "atidvcr"
  out YV12,I420,IYUV
  out 422P,444P



This is the result (still no video):

Hmm... The version at work (MPlayer dev-CVS-051020-17:39-3.4.2)  does
not
show where it searches for codecs.conf, but on my PC at home (March 22,
I
believe) it shows something like:

get_path('codecs.conf') -> 'c:/progra~1/MPlayer/mplayer/codecs.conf

so you can try that.

>MPlayer 1.0pre7-3.4.2

Your MPlayer version is very old. Try again with the lastest CVS
version.


Can you run mplayer -identify -frames 0 'Apr 2-Channel 17.vcr'?

>CommandLine: '-v' '-codecs-file' 'c:codecs\atidvcr.dll' 'Apr 2-Channel
>17.vcr'

-codecs-file is used to specify a file to be used as codecs.conf, so you

could have said:
mplayer -codecs-file c:\progra~1\mplayer\codecs.conf etc.

See the section in the MPlayer manual that describes how to create a new

entry in codecs.conf.
