[MPlayer-users] Seeking in long DVD on Windows

[Mark Himsley]

I'm using an SVN build of Mplayer built last weekend in Mingw / MSYS.

MPlayer dev-SVN-r22100-3.2.3 (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer Team
CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz (Family: 15, Model: 2, Stepping: 9)
CPUflags:  MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 0 SSE2: 0
Compiled with runtime CPU detection.

I have a dual layer DVD with one large title track. The DVD is of music 
videos and I'd like to be able to put them onto my Creative Zen W.

Each separate music video is contained in a separate chapter of the single 
title. There are about 39 chapters in this title.

I wanted to -dumpstream the chapters then post process them, as some are 
full frame 4:3 and some are 16:9 letterbox.

I created a simple cmd script to dump the chapters:

for /L %%i in (1,1,39) do mplayer dvd://1 -chapter %%i-%%i -dumpfile 
video-%%i.mpg -dumpstream

Dumping the first 20 chapters worked. After that I started getting very 
large files that did not start or end at the desired chapter.

I expect that this is because of the 32 bit pointers used in Mingw / MSYS.

So my question is, is there another way to build Mplayer for Windows that 
results in a player that can handle large offsets?
