[MPlayer-users] Re: supression of the console output

Just to give a short comment on the suggestions (and the solution).

That will only affect the 'new' window, which will be created from the 
start commamd.
So, if you use 'start' without the /min or /b option, you will get 2 
windows.
The mplayer window will be created anyway.

I tried the gui version also, but it was more worse, than the normal 
version:
At first, the console window can be seen, than the player skin can be seen
and only now the movie starts..

But that hint gave me the solution key:
I started mplayer (and gmplayer) from a batch file and double clicked the
bat-file, but that was wrong!
The solution was at first creating a 'link' (as normally done, when you 
create a
desktop link for starting the gui from the desktop) and changing the 
link properties
to "starting minimized".

That helped and no console will be created independent on all other options.

Thanks for all answers
Gerhard

By the way: The mplayer will be used at the 9.DGS Congress 15.-17.June 2007
in Altenberg/Colonia, Germany 
(http://www.stereoskopie.org/Veranst/kongr07v-e.htm)
as official movie player.
The DGS is the German society for stereoscopy

Thanks, Corey - no longer needed.
