I might not be able to. these are instructional poker videos and both the drm-crippled and drm-free videos were paid for and even if I strip out audio and sent only the first 10-15m their producers probably wouldn't appreciate it. so I will have to hunt around on the web for a video of mostly static/powerpoint-type stuff to see if it too exhibits this problem. > > what I discovered yesterday is that mplayer itself > does not do this > when you run gmplayer from the command-line, what does the > status line > say? Does it have the same jumps? tbh I'm not really sure what to look for. with gmplayer I see: a:xx v:xx a-v:xx ct:-0.AB CDE/FGH % % % x x % ("xx" just means digits, not they're all the same) what I see when vid is running is the A-H response seems to be in sync with osd timer halt/leaps. when osd timer is stalled: * - 0.AB stops changing its value * CDE/FGH stops advancing when osd timer leaps fwd or momentarily runs ok then * -0.AB continuously changes value * CDE/FGH starts advancing Is the version it > displays the same as > that of you MPlayer, maybe those are different versions? gmplayer is a (program supplied) link to mplayer bin but I checked anway and understandably both show the same rev (started as /usr/bin/<bin>). > (try mplayer > -gui ... instead of gmplayer, note that -gui must be the > first option). no change > > or is there some way to get smaller output using > -harddup? > > Don't forget -ofps, if you do not set it, wmvs will be > encoded with about 1000 > frames per second. is -ofps a critical item to always use with mencoder? I'm sort of a rookie and only fumble through what I find in docs/man pg wrt mencoder so typically just do this (when trying to reduce filesizes or using -harddup; audio seems to already be optimally sized wrt orig): mencoder -oac copy -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=350 -harddup _______________________________________________ MPlayer-users mailing list MPlayer-users@xxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/mplayer-users
