[MPlayer-users] CVS player/encoder problems

[Silviu D Minut]

First mplayer:

Playing "Moulin Rouge" with mplayer-0.6 works without a hitch. I used this
command:

mplayer -dvd 1


Playing it with CVS mplayer, at the very beginning, a green frame flashes
by, then the movie plays, but plays with interruptions, and I get the
message below:

!!! Possible reasons, problems, workaround:
- Most common: broken/buggy _audio_ driver. workaround: try -ao sdl or use
  ALSA 0.5 or oss emulation of ALSA 0.9. read DOCS/sound.html for more
tips!
- Slow video output. try different -vo driver (for list: -vo help) or try
  with -framedrop !  Read DOCS/video.html for video tuning/speedup tips.
- Slow cpu. don't try to playback big dvd/divx on slow cpu! try
-hardframedrop
- Broken file. try various combinations of these: -nobps  -ni  -mc 0
-forceidx
If none of these apply, then read DOCS/bugreports.html !

(I did Ctrl-C here).

Since the dvd can be read flawleslly with 0.6, I don't believe any of the
above possible reasons. Should I file out a complete bug report? Any other
reasons? Briefly, the system is a RedHat 7.0 heavily upgraded, kernel
2.4.4, P3 866MHz, ATI r128 16M memory, 256 M ram. Both 0.6 and CVS
versions were compiled with gcc-3.1. Say what you will, but 0.6 works
(while CVS complains and plays with interruptions).


Mencoder:

I encoded the same dvd in one piece with mencoder-0.6 and again worked
fine, except that the avi came out too big, and I wanted to use the CVS
then, to be able to specify -chapter 1-17 first, then -chapter 18-36.

So I encoded 1-17 (with CVS), no problems. However, here's what happens
with -chapter 18-36:

then no sound when I play it. I also tried a 3-pass encoding and again no
sound. I can't tell if I'm doing something wrong, or if it's a bug, or if
it's something with the dvd. Any suggestions?
