I don't know. I've tried ffmpeg a lot, and improved its image quality,
but for some (unknown) reason I can't record audio with it. I don't know
that it's a problem of my sound card (SB Live!) or ffmpeg or just a missing
mixer setting. It records just silence...

So you should upload a short - but long enough - mpg file made wiht ffmpeg,
then i'll check.

not really offtopic. ffmpeg will be soon integrated into mplayer
(it was already done for 0.12pre, but i should re-done it because
the lots of improvements on 0.11 after the fork)

And it's possible that it's an mplayer bug.
Hmm. What about playing it with other players? smpeg-based
players, or mtv/mtvp, xmmp, xmps, etc.. there are too lot.
If they (at least one of them) plays it well, then it's a bug
of mplayer. Otherwise it's an ffmpeg bug, then contact gerard
(ffmpeg author), I'm sure, he'll soon fix it!

which ATI patches do you use? i'm using GATOS Xv driver for
the ATI Xpert98 at work, but it's not a patch.
