It seems that using -vo xv (as I am here) both appear identically desaturated. Since xv uses yv12, that pretty well means the entire source of your problem is the sub-sampled chroma. You could force the same kind of subsampling with other vo methods by adding -vf scale,format=yv12,scale to your options. I don't believe there's any way around this with standard lossy video codecs. There is a 4:2:2 variation of MPEG-2 which has twice the chroma... There's also DV which uses 4:1:1 which might look better... or not. Or for lossy codecs, Huffyuv will probably work for you. H.264 has a "High" 4:4:4 profile (as does MPEG-2 actually), which would give you what you want, but unlike the rest, I have no idea if MPlayer will even play it, let alone other commonly available decoders. -- Don't trust me! I'm wrong! _______________________________________________ MPlayer-users mailing list MPlayer-users@xxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/mplayer-users
