Hi, I've been going back and forth with fame trying to make it work nicely with the em8300 (dxr3/h+). I've almost made it work perfectly but I have now stumbled upon a wall... After about 7 minutes of playback (happens with every video at the exact same time of playback (not matter if you seek or pause etc, it happens after 7 minutes of active playback) the pixels get blown up. It looks like the screen is set to a lower resolution, but the seek-bar and time counter is still displayed properly (well, almost). The pixels look like when tv networks scramble a face etc and this makes video totally unwatchable with fame. This definately does not happen with libavcodec and I haven't got a clue to why it happens, and after 7 minutes. It never goes back to the normal state either, once it's transformed you have to kill mplayer and restart. Have anyone got any clues to why this happens, or do I have to subscribe to some fame mailinglist? BTW, these are the settings I'm using: fame_params.width = s_width; fame_params.height = s_height; fame_params.coding = "IPPPPPPP"; fame_params.quality = 90; fame_params.bitrate = 6e6; fame_params.slices_per_frame = 1; fame_params.frames_per_sequence = 8; fame_params.shape_quality = 100; fame_params.search_range = 1; fame_params.verbose = 0; fame_params.profile = NULL; Ah, and yes, if I change the coding to I-frames only it works perfectly... //David Holm
