[MPlayer-users] Star Trek Original Series HD-DVD EVOs unplayable

[Robert McNamara]

I am reporting a set of files that I am unable to play despite my best
efforts.

I have uploaded a sample to
ftp://upload.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/incoming/TrekSample.EVO

This is a 5 MB cut from the first track on the Star Trek Original Series
HD-DVDs... HD-DVDs were decrypted and ripped using SlySoft AnyDVD HD, and
playback was attempted with mplayer SVN r25035 under Ubuntu Gutsy.  This EVO
*does* have E-AC3 and mlp tracks (and my mplayer is patched accordingly) but
purposes of debugging, playback has been attempted with -ao null.

Attempting to play this file in non-verbose mode starts with mplayer just
sitting there and ends with it failing back out to the shell.  No playback
window is initialized.

mplayer in Verbose mode returns the following (many identical lines cut to
make the file not 18 MB):
