Sorry. I know I put in there extra info that wasn't necessary for
solving the problem. But when I think how much I sometimes searched for
examples, for the complete actual command lines that work, I thought
that to write the complete lines that nearly worked for me would make
some newbies somewhere relieved...

No. No change. Delays just as previously I described.

Now this I will have to look deeper into. Trials will be following.

I'll look into these as well (it's the biblical MPlayer man page and
associales of course, and then Dear God knows where I'll end up at)

I just don't want to believe, and I have to, it' the burden of proofs
against me, that I couldn't figure it out myself. Regarding -forceidx.
And regarding mplayer -demuxer lavf I'll probably understand it with the
MPlayer fine online readings as well.
And I also intend to be useful to newbies and post more.. But only if I
do make it. This is a little overwhelming on me.
Thanks again to Oliver and Reimar.
I'll be back (if I make it... but it is likely that I will).
