-vd ?

Unknown option on the command line: vd


This is exactly what happens:

Too many video packets in the buffer: (281 in 8396168 bytes).
Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?
For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.

Broken frame at 0x308940        


It's not actually too slow, it only takes 40% CPU while there are no errors.
It just gets stuck on a frame, even though I pass -fps explicitly. Can't it
search for synchronization bits when errors come along?
