[Mplayer-dvb] MPEG-PES in error?

[Andy Knuts]

Hi,

I'm using current CVS mplayer and i'm willing to use mplayer to playback
divx using my DVB-s card.
My box is to slow to handle this in realtime (even when downscaled) so
what i wanted to do is have mplayer write it's grab.mpg file by using
--disable-dvb and then, when finished, playback the mpeg file. This way i
should still be able to use subtitles etc...

I did a test using a sample avi file, and it created the file grab.mpg as
expected. Now when i want to playback that file i get some audio at the
very first beginning (weird audio tho, like it's the original audio played
at faster speed and with some computerized nooise, hard to describe) after
which the audio suddenly stops. The video image seems to be very well.
Looks like there's a bug in this code somewhere? is this a known problem?
When i try to playback the grab.mpg file i see the folowing in mplayer too:

----
$bash# mplayer grab.mpg  -vo mpegpes -ao mpegpes

Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?
For .AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.

I have tried to playback the file grab.mpg using the test_av.c app
included in the DVB drivers under apps/test/ and it's able to play the
file WITH the right audio, except the audio and video is completely out of
sync. (maybe there's a bug in mplayer's mpeg-pes code?)

Anyone got any idea's what could be done about this ?


Besides my above question i would like to ask if someone know or have code
that can output mpeg2 instead of mpeg1. (non-realtime that is) Or can
somebody point me to some good docs on how to implement such an output
'plugin' (-vo) for mplayer. (This would allow mplayer to convert divx in
mpeg2 with subtitles and be able to play them with vdr or whatever, create
svcds.... )

With kind regards,
