[MPlayer-users] -dumpstream with duration?

[Dhiraj Kamble]

i had a similar problem, wanted to play a video file for a particular
period...
and many thanks to the users who responded...

use the foll to play for a particular period of time...( u cld dump it too )

mplayer file1.avi -ss 0:00 -endpos 300

that'll play file1.avi for 300 seconds from the start
now u cld, write a script that uses the -ss and -endpos vaules
check man pages/faq for more info

use the latest release of mplayer, as the "-endpos" option has been added to
it.

Hope this is helpful.
