There is a direct-show filter that I use in windows with which I can read files avi recorded in cd in mode 2 / form 2 XA, that is to say files avi of 800 M recorded in cd of 74 minutes. I know that mplayer use direct-show filters, but I don't know how to configure them. Neither if I can use a filter of this type. This filter is part of a project whose site is xcd.sourceforge.net. If somebody knows how to make filter works with mplayer, please tell me. Thank you. Ing. Germán G. Estévez Cobertura especial de la Copa Mundial de la FIFA Corea-Japón 2002, sólo en Yahoo!

Hi, mplayer can play xcd. Try 'mplayer -vcd 2' I needed '-cache ' with one xcd to play smoothly. another one needed -ss to skip past some of the garbage at the beginning of the cd. Does anyone know if mplayer can play an xcd CD image off of the hard drive?

You can try to use a loopback device (man losetup).

Try using some VCD tools to rip the bin file apart. Rich

I tried this. I can mount iso images no problem but mount doesn't seem to understand raw mode2 cd images. Balatoni Denes wrote:

I couldn't get it to work. It tries to read the file but exits. I tried also many variations of -sb & -ss. D Richard Felker III wrote:

I tried vcdimager but vcdxrip seems to understand only mpeg and mpeg2. It exits with "**ERROR: unexpected descriptor type". I also tried bchunk to convert the image but the file it made didn't mount as iso or cdfs. Thanks for the suggestions. Apparently "daemon tools" (windoze) can mount the images. There must be some way, if not, oh well... :)

Wrong way.

vcd's and svcd's shouldn't be mounted to play, the same here ...

skipping the RIFF-header sjould work maybe ..

I think there is a patched cdfs for Linux available to being able to read this cd's. But on XCD's you should not burn an avi. At least you should use a containerformat with errordetection as .ogm have. whoever burnt that disk, had not read a lot about that thing. Did not know if mplayer tries to recognize the stream or if it assumes it is mpeg1 or mpeg2.

under win there should be a way for sure. Ever read docs about it ? (maybe on doom9.org ? )

Hi, thanks for telling me this - I didn't know about using losetup and previously used only mount to setup loopback. I tried: #losetup /dev/loop0 data.bin $mplayer -vcd 2 -cdrom-device /dev/loop0 but mplayer exits with: Playing VCD track 2 read CDROM toc header: : Invalid argument read CDROM toc header: : Invalid argument Error selecting VCD track! (get) Exiting... (End of file) I checked the permissions on /dev/loop0 and it's readable for everyone. Are you able to play XCD images this way? If you are, could you please tell me how! :)

Maybe I misunderstand you but XCD doesn't degrade the quality of a divx. XCD is just a way of making a 800mb mpeg4 file instead of 700mb and fitting it on a 80min CD. The ones I've come across are xvid mpeg4 + ogg vorbis sound inside an OGM container. People are using the extra 100mb to encode the file at a higher video bitrate. They're typically offered as .bin or .dat files . mplayer can play the resulting XCDs; I was just asking if anyone knew a way of playing the .bin or .dat file before it's burned as an XCD. If not, no big deal.

I think by destroy the quality, he meant the fact that XCD lacks error correction info, so if the CD gets scratched, you're pretty much out of luck... Rich

Yeah, I wasn't sure what he meant. What you say made me also wonder about XCD but according to the people that post them, they've abuse-tested their CDRs and the OGM container (unlike avi) apparently has built-in error tolerance and is resilient to scratches, cuts, etc, on the CD. The effected area on the CDR may lose some data which shows as distorted video/audio however, the damage is only to the bit of the file that's scratched and the movie will continue to play. I haven't tested this myself but I've had no problems with the few xcds I've tried. I can see why people would want to make xcds since it's basically a mpeg4-vcd in concept and the extra space means a better looking video.

I didn't mean to come across as obsessed. I just asked if anyone knew how to play an XCD imagefile from harddisk with mplayer. If not, no worries... I realize and am happy that mplayer can play XCD cds.

Just try mplayer -vcd 2 to play the xcd. You don't need directshow. -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet. Rund um die Uhr für 1 ct/ Min. surfen!
