Sound a little bit distorted when capturing video
by André Heßling 21 Jan '04

21 Jan '04

Hi! I am using the newest mplayer pre-release and I want to capture video from my TV card. Therefore I use this line: mencoder -tv driver=v4l:width=320:height=240 tv:// -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=900:max_bframes=2 -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=128 -o bla.avi This works fine but the sound is a little bit distorted (overdriven). Sound is made by ALSA intel8x0 (newest version) and I tried alsamixer to fix this. In order to get sound in my captured files I needed to activate the capture option for "Capture" and "Line". "Line" isn't really needed but doesn't change anything. The volume of "Capture" is at 0. If I set it higher or even to 100, the sound is totally overdriven. And I found out that if I set "Line" to 100 the sound is also distorted when I normally watch TV. I therefore set "Line" to around 74. This means that "Capture" = 0 during recording is the same as "Line" = 100 during playback. It would be very good if I could set 'Capture' to "less than 0" so that it doesn't record at the full volume. I also tried to add 'volume' and 'alsa' to my mencoder-line but this shows no effect. So what can I do? Thanks in advance! -- Regards, André

vrc_override?
by Tuukka Toivonen 21 Jan '04

21 Jan '04

Could someone write an example command line how vrc_override can be used, say to encode frames 0-100 at quantization parameter (vqscale/QP) 10, 100-200 at 5, and the rest at 10 again? Whenever I try using it for some frames with fixed quantization, those frames will be encoded with QP 2 and not with what a specified (for positive third argument to vrc_override). With negative values (quality correction) it somewhat works, but the quality seems to be different before and after the section specified with the frame numbers. Also what does the negative argument really mean? Does it change the target QP or bitrate or what?

Small bug with SAMI files with Start-START
by Zurd 21 Jan '04

21 Jan '04

The .smi file is a subtitle file that can be use by mplayer where in the tag <SYNC> you have to provide the argument "Start". I came across an smi file where the tag was "START", in uppercase, and that was the reason why mplayer didn't want to load that sub file. I would hope that this small bug can be fix so that nobody else will waste a few hours trying to understand why doesn't mplayer want to load this sub file ;-) You can easily test this, provided you already have a video file with a sub file : 1. mplayer -sub -dumpsami file.sub file.avi 2. Replace every Start by START in the dumpsub.smi 3. mplayer -sub dumpsub.smi file.avi <-- This won't load the sub file --------------------------------------------- Distro : Gentoo Kernel : Linux 2.4.20-gentoo-r5 libc : libc-2.3.2.so GCC : 3.2.3 GNU : GNU ld version 2.14.90.0.6 20030820 binutils : 2.14.90.0.6 20030820 --------------------------------------------- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Joining asf or wmv files
by Scott 21 Jan '04

21 Jan '04

I was reading up on mencoder and wondered if it was able to do this. I basically have sets of 3 to 4 asf or wmv files and i would like to simply join them into one big asf or wmv file. I wont be mixing and matching asf and wmv. There seems to be an abundance of programs for windows but im having a hard time finding one for linux. Thanks, Scott

[BUG] MPlayer + ALSA 1.0.1 troubles with SB Audigy2
by mitya＠school.ioffe.ru 20 Jan '04

20 Jan '04

Hello, recently I upgraded from ALSA 0.9.7 in kernel 2.6.1 to ALSA 1.0.1. Before I upgraded alsa-lib, everything worked fine. After installing alsa-lib 1.0.1 and recompiling MPlayer to use it, I beganhaving troubles with it. I'll dig in ao_alsa1x.c at evening, but decided to report it now. If I try to play something with -ao alsa1x -channels 2, I get sound, but this lines in log looks strange (full logs attached): alsa-init: requested format: 48000 Hz, 2 channels, Signed 16-bit (Little-Endian) alsa-init: compiled for ALSA-1.0.1 alsa-init: got device=0, subdevice=0 alsa-init: 1 soundcard found, using: hw:0,0 alsa-init: pcm opened in block-mode alsa-init: chunksize set to 1024 alsa-init: fragcount=16 alsa-init: got buffersize=-774789712 ^^^^^ If I try to play 6-channel audio with -ao alsa1x -channels 6, I get this: alsa-init: requested format: 48000 Hz, 6 channels, Signed 16-bit (Little-Endian) alsa-init: compiled for ALSA-1.0.1 alsa-init: soundcard set to surround51 alsa-init: pcm opened in block-mode alsa-init: chunksize set to 1024 alsa-init: fragcount=16 alsa-init: got buffersize=1970598160 ^^^^^^^^^ This is ~2Gb buffer.

AVI big audio sync difference. (AVI / DivX / AC3)
by seth 20 Jan '04

20 Jan '04

hello. i wrote a similar message previously, but it was right before the mail list issues and i'm thinking it got missed (no one answered). i'm positive that this has been discussed previously, but i've searched for a couple days now and can find no answers. i'm sure i can't be the only one with these issues as i only started using mplayer (and linux) a month or so ago. i'm starting to get a collection of AVIs that will play fine in windows (media player) but have major a/v sync issues with mplayer (or xine for that matter). the common thread amoung them is that they are all, all the ones i've examined somehwhat, DivX video and AC3 audio. the audio is _way_ off, like minutes off. as soon as the video starts the audio is already into the movie by a good amount, like many seconds if not minutes. the only thing i've been able to find on the net are suggestions of 'bps=yes', 'nobps=yes', 'mc=0', and 'ni=yes' which i have tried in various combinations to no avail. i've tried other commands, like 'autosync=30', 'avi_sync=yes', 'channels=2', and various other switches, but so far the audio sync is still way off. i've tried OSS and ALSA (1.0) audio to no avail. i'm beating myself up about this and i'm sure a simple command line/config file switch is all i need since it plays in M$ just fine. i'm not sure if it happens with all DivX / AC3 AVIs, it definatly doesn't happen to all DivX AVIs. i did try once to sync up the a/v by using the audio_delay command and i spent a good 45 minutes going back and forth trying to get it to line up. once or twice i got it within a few seconds (not miliseconds, full seconds) but as soon as i would skip around in the video it would be way off again. my mplayer verison is pretty recent... MPlayer 1.0pre3-3.3.2 (C) 2000-2003 MPlayer Team i'll post config files and output if that will help. thanks.
