[MPlayer-users] Mencoder/mplayer AVCHD problem - is this a bug or a bad file?

[Jakub Kulesza]

Ok. I have tried to fight with the options -mc, -autosync, harddup
filter to deal with out of sync situation in my avchd files. Even
tried forcing different FPS. No joy. I always run into problems
described by cooleyr: "too many video packets in buffer". Mencoder
also shows, that it's waaaay out of sync on the files (A-V shows more
than 30s!).

I have tried my files with other players/encoders:
- VLC (on gentoo) - plays the files, no glitches, even detects FPS correctly.
- SuperC (on windows) - reencodes the files to other formats correctly.
- MediaPlayer Classic + FFMpeg (on windows) - as good as vlc on linux.
- Mplayer/Mencoder (SVN versions) - do not detect the fps (all files),
have serious troubles with A-V sync (some longer files).

What should i do to post my file examples to mplayer devs, to check
them out? Maybe there's something missing in them or there's more work
to do in mplayer. I'm unfortunatelly not a programmer but i can help
with testing and other stuff on the issue.
