<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello, can anyone explain this problem i am having
playing an avi file. I believe it is a Sony DV format file.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It plays fine in windows media player and is
reported in there as using Sony DV codec.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But with mplayer (with -v option) it doesn't even
seem to detect the stream and therefore doesn't seem to be a codec
problem.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It just scrolls continuously with ChunkID mismatch
errors.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does anyone know what Matrox MQSink Filter
is? You can see below that it is displayed, i guess in the stream
info.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any help would be appreciated... if it's just
an mplayer unsupported format then let me know I will give the code a
go.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
