[MPlayer-dev-eng] Absolute Time in DVD

[Michael Halcrow]

sh_video->pts resets at the start of every chapter.  This kind of
breaks EDL with DVD's.  Some ways around this can include:

 - Make EDL records store both chapter and chapter offset values
 - Find (or make) an absolute timer in mplayer (one that counts time
   from the start of the first chapter of the DVD rather than from the
   start of each individual chapter); I'll have to look for one this
   weekend, unless one of you kind souls will point one out to me :-)
 - Record EDL timestamps based on frame number rather than pts

Oh, and there's this:

timestamp = 90000*(sh_video->timer + d_dvdsub->pts + sub_delay -
sh_video->pts);

Recommendations?

Thanks,
Mike
