[MPlayer-users] Unable to use colon in option value

[Pavel Stánek]

Thanks.
Finally I must use tripple quote cahracter (windows shell removes first and last character and pass to mplayer only middle quote character).

This works fine:

mplayer.exe -ss 900 -frames 1 -vo jpeg:outdir="""c:\tmp""" -vf scale=320:200 -nosound a.avi
