MPEG-1 Framedropping
by Thomas Frank 22 Jan '04

22 Jan '04

I have a temporal adapted MPEG1-file (eg. I cut out all B-Frames). My problem now is, that MPlayer plays the video too fast. Is that a problem of my implementation of the video-adaptor or does the player just ignore the time_code in the GOP-Header. Thomas

Multi-file .ogm XCD problem
by Martin Collins 22 Jan '04

22 Jan '04

I have made some XCDs with more than one .ogm movie file with vorbis audio. From the disc mplayer only plays the last file, all other files get stuck at the vorbis parsing stage. Playing the image using cue:// works. I have a disc with two files I made about six months ago that displays this bug. I don't recall having this problem when I made the disc so it has probably been introduced fairly recently.

mplayer -fs not full screen ?
by Zurd 22 Jan '04

22 Jan '04

Hi, this is my command I run to play video files : sudo nice -n -20 mplayer -fs -nocache -vo xvidix video.avi It's all good and running fine, the only thing bugging me is that the -fs is not really working. I have to press the 'f' key for fullscreen, 2 times so that my video can be in real fullscreen. When the video is first opened, I can only see about 80% of the video because the border have been cropped/chopped. It's really weird, then I press the 'f' key for the first time, now I can see 100% of the video but it's not in fullscreen, it's in the center of my screen in half the size of my screen, so now I press the 'f' key again and it's in fullscreen and I can see everything. For information I'm running a TV-OUT with my computer. Any hint on how I can open a video so that it can be in fullscreen without pressing the 'f' key 2 times ?! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

TV input, immediatemode=1, volume control?
by Frank Mehnert 22 Jan '04

22 Jan '04

Hi, when using mplayer in TV mode, I route the sound from the line output of my TV card via loopback cable into line input of my sound card (immediatemode=1). It is possible to control the volume from mplayer with this configuration? Frank -- ## Dept. of Computer Science, Dresden University of Technology, Germany ## ## http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/~fm3 ##

Help with CarTalk stream, DirectShow.
by Albert Schueller 22 Jan '04

22 Jan '04

Thu Jan 22 02:27:38 PST 2004 Hi all, This is long, skip to the end if you just want to read about the mplayer problem and not the long path that led me to it. Thanks in advance for any help. I've grazed the list for this issue, but I wasn't able to solve my problem. In the US, NPR's CarTalk has switched from RealAudio to a Windows Media Stream. They give their reasons here: http://cartalk.cars.com/time-kill/archives/newsletters/2004/0401.html whatever... Here: http://cartalk.cars.com/Radio/help.html they claim that mplayer is a way for linux users to listen to the stream, now that RealPlayer is no longer an option. Doing the dumb thing, I try: mplayer http://cartalk.cars.com/Radio/Show/Audio/200403/wms/CT0403-01.asx and it fails. Turns out there's a redirect in the .asx file. I download the .asx file and look inside, get the real url and try: mplayer mms://pubintwm.fplive.net/pubint/cartalk/200403/CT0403-01.wma No luck, after a long (1 minute) timeout mplayer finishes with: <copious non-fatal mplayer output snipped> Cache fill: 3.96% (2595 bytes) ASF file format detected. ============ ASF Stream group == START === object size = 32 stream count=[0x1][1] stream id=[0x1][1] max bitrate=[0x417b][16763] ============ ASF Stream group == END === ASF: No audio stream found -> no sound. No stream found. So I go and get asfrecord, a handy little utility for dumping asf streams to files: http://sourceforge.net/projects/asfrecorder/ I get the file with: asfrecorder mms://pubintwm.fplive.net/pubint/cartalk/200403/CT0403-01.wma and now the stream is sitting in the file. Let's try mplayer on that: mplayer CT0403-01.wma No luck, mplayer finishes with: <copious non-fatal mplayer output snipped> Playing CT0403-01.wma. ASF file format detected. ============ ASF Stream group == START === object size = 32 stream count=[0x1][1] stream id=[0x1][1] max bitrate=[0x417b][16763] ============ ASF Stream group == END === Clip info: name: Cartalk 0403 - Segment 01 author: Car Talk copyright: (c) Dewey Cheetham and Howe comments: ========================================================================== Cannot find codec for audio format 0xA. Read DOCS/HTML/en/codecs.html! ========================================================================== Audio: no sound Video: no video So, taking the message to heart, I start reading codecs.html. I put "format 0xA" into each of the wma codec sections in codecs.conf (one at a time), and try: mplayer CT0403-01.wma No luck, mplayer finishes with: <copious non-fatal mplayer output snipped> External func OLEAUT32.dll:7 External func OLEAUT32.dll:8 Total Unfree 0 bytes cnt 0 [(nil),0] IMediaObject ERROR: 0x840776f input format not accepted (0x80040205 : -2147220987) ERROR: Could not open required DirectShow codec wma9dmod.dll. ADecoder preinit failed :( ADecoder init failed :( Cannot find codec for audio format 0xA. Read DOCS/HTML/en/codecs.html! ========================================================================== Audio: no sound Video: no video I start searching around for this "DirectShow" codec in the mplayer-users archives. I find a pointer to the "Importing" section of codecs.html in the mplayer html docs. There I'm directed to a windows utility called GraphEdit.exe that will let me open the DirectShow driver in Windows. I go do that and get the following information: DisplayName: @device:sw:{083863F1-70DE-11D0-BD40-00A0C911CE86}\{22E24591-49D0-11D2-BB50-006008320064} Filename: C:\WINDOWS\System32\msadds32.ax Merit: 00800001 As you can see, I've made due diligence here, but I'm at an impasse. What do I do with this information? Can mplayer play these files? Isn't wma just wma? At the very least, CarTalk hasn't really looked into the mplayer claim that they make on their www page.

3-pass encodes with ogg vorbis?
by * 22 Jan '04

22 Jan '04

Hello, I was wondering if anyone is doing 3-pass encodes with ogg vorbis and have the audio in sync? The first movie I did was 25 fps and it worked but the few I've tried since then are 29.97 progressive NTSC and the audio is always out of sync by a noticeable amount. Am I doing something wrong or is this a known (but not widely discussed) problem? To pullup the 29.97 I've been using the "pullup" filter. Using "ivtc=1" or "filmdint=dint_thres=256" gives me jerky video for some reason on non-interlaced movies. I use transcode to extract the audio to pcm, convert that with oggenc, encode the video with "-oac copy", then replace the audio with ogmmerge. Is this correct? Thanks. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Hotjobs: Enter the "Signing Bonus" Sweepstakes http://hotjobs.sweepstakes.yahoo.com/signingbonus

mencoder to join files: keyframes gone?
by Johan 22 Jan '04

22 Jan '04

I've sucessfully used mencoder and -copy switches to concatenate several avi files. The original files all seek very well; without the floating colored blocks effect. The concatenated file plays perfectly (great sync), but seeking results in upto a second or two of image degradation (ie, blotchy blobs) before quality is restored. I'm concluding that the original had more keyframes than the concatenated version. The concatenated version is also smaller than the sum of the parts, so this may well be the case. Is there someway to request more keyframes (or that all keyframes are kept?), or am I misdiagnosing the problem? the command: cat "$1"*avi | mencoder -ovc copy -oac copy -forceidx -o "$1_joined.avi" As a contrast, avimerge -i "$1"*avi -o "$1_joined.avi" seeks fine, but has sync problems more often than not.

MPlayer tv input: fixed size?
by Simon Brenner 22 Jan '04

22 Jan '04

It seems that my TV card has problem with small input sizes, so when I resize the window I get "banding effects" - looks like it's interlaced, but the lines are often 10-20 pixels high (it might be that the card has trouble with uneven sizes, or just small sizes). Anyway, I'd like to be able to set the input size to a fixed value, and let MPlayer scale it down. As I understand it, the TV input size is resized together with the window, but I'd like it to keep the TV capture window the same and just apply scaling as usual. Is it possible to do this?
