If I pause, rewind or fast-forward the video corrects itself to normal speed, but the sound then disappears completely. The odd thing is that all of the various experiments I've done produce AVI files that play perfectly with vlc or dragon, just not with my standalone player. The player docs say it can handle: * Up to 720x576 resolution * Up to 30 fps * Video must be interleaved * GMC (motion comp) only at 1-point, whatever that is. * avi, mpg or mpeg files * Codecs: DIVX[345].xx, MP43, 3IVX * Audio: DTS, PCM MP3, WMA, bitrates to 320kpbs I have a strong impression that the whole problem has to do with synching, but I don't know how to fix it. poc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
