[MPlayer-users] Re: RTFM didn't work (about getting movies to play then wait for input)

[George Reynolds]

Thanks for the shell scripts, they work great and with a bit of editing, work 
with xine too. I still have the problem that
1)The bloke wants the last frame to freeze- I don't think this is possible 
unless you capture the last frame and tell the script to show the appropriate 
last frame i.e. 
clip11 slows lastframe11
is this possible?

Is there any way of getting it to display the last frame as a sep command
i.e. 
show clip11
show last frame of clip 11
wait for input
show clip 12
show last frame of clip12

it's also essential that you don't see the desktop, although I could rig this 
to just be blank.

2)I can't find a blank avi


I am using powerpoint at the moment :@ which is so damn slow on processing the 
avi files. it sucks BIG TIME. It basically makes the video unusable, as it 
plays slower than it should, about 30% of the frames are dropped and it just 
looks awful. The way powepoint works, it takes 3-4 seconds for the next clip 
to load, missing the cue and making the video look unprofessional.

Any advice other than banging my head against a brick wall (or rather 
windows). Haha no pun intended...
