[MPlayer-users] Problem searching in dvds

Sat Dec 9 01:59:41 CET 2006

An annoying problem I have with mplayer, at least with the dvds that my 
dvd-recorder creates.

Looking for a time in a title seems to be very difficult. Skipping 10 seconds 
seems to work well. Skipping one minute seems to work well just at the 
beginning, then I don't know where I am, the OSD indicates a lower time for 
the current time, I think mplayer gives the current time inside the current 
chapter, not the current time in the whole title.

Skipping 10 minutes in fact skips a lot more. Pressing pgup 3 times and I'm 
out of the movie.

-ss only works for the first 3 minutes and 40 secs. -ss 3:41 closes mplayer.

Is this a known problem?

This is what it says with mplayer dvd://1 -v:

The funny thing is that -ss 5:00 works but in fact jumps 19 minutes, although 
OSD says 5:00.

I tried with xine, and there's no problem at all searching at any place of the 
movie.
