[PATCH] small wording (and syntax) fix in video.xml
by Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 17 Jun '05

17 Jun '05

Here's an attempt to re-word an unclear sentence which I stumbled upon while reviewing Polish translation. Attached Also there's a paragraph around line 2090 of video.xml which reads: <varlistentry> <term><option>-vf expand=-1:-1:-1:-1:1</option></term> <listitem><para> Although the DXR3 driver can put some OSD onto the MPEG1/2/4 video, it has much lower quality than <application>MPlayer</application>'s traditional OSD, and has several refresh problems as well. The command line above will firstly convert the input video to MPEG4 (this is mandatory, sorry), then apply an expand filter which won't expand anything (-1: default), but apply the normal OSD onto the picture (that's what the "1" at the end does). </para></listitem> </varlistentry> Does expand really convert input to MPEG4? I don't think so. R. -- MPlayer RPMs maintainer: http://greysector.rangers.eu.org/mplayer/ "I am Grey. I stand between the candle and the star. We are Grey.

audio output documentation outdated
by Attila Kinali 05 Feb '05

05 Feb '05

Hi, someone on #mplayer just noted, that the documentation in the audio output page[1] is horribly out of date. It even suggests using sdl! Could someone update it ? Thanks [1] http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/audio.html Attila Kinali -- All christians are terrorists.
