Hi! We recently recorded some videos with a JVC Everio GZ-MS120 and mplayer has difficulties playing these files. mplayer used was freshly compiled from todays export: SVN-r29324 The main characteristics of the file detected by mplayer: -------------------------- Playing bla.mpeg. MPEG-PS file format detected. VIDEO: MPEG2 720x576 (aspect 2) 25.000 fps 8900.0 kbps (1112.5 kbyte/s) ========================================================================== Opening video decoder: [mpegpes] MPEG 1/2 Video passthrough VDec: vo config request - 720 x 576 (preferred colorspace: Mpeg PES) Could not find matching colorspace - retrying with -vf scale... Opening video filter: [scale] The selected video_out device is incompatible with this codec. Try appending the scale filter to your filter list, e.g. -vf spp,scale instead of -vf spp. VDecoder init failed :( Opening video decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg's libavcodec codec family Unsupported PixelFormat -1 Selected video codec: [ffmpeg2] vfm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg MPEG-2) ========================================================================== ========================================================================== Opening audio decoder: [liba52] AC3 decoding with liba52 Using SSE optimized IMDCT transform Using MMX optimized resampler AUDIO: 48000 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 384.0 kbit/25.00% (ratio: 48000->192000) Selected audio codec: [a52] afm: liba52 (AC3-liba52) ========================================================================== -------------------------- mplayer has two problems: *) The sound is crackling badly. playing the same file with liba52 0.7.4 a52dec -s <movie> works well and without crackling noise. xine, vlc, gstreamer works as well. *) it fails to set the correct aspect As far as I can tell the cam defines aspect 2 (4:3) in the $B1 sequence header. But vlc says libmpeg2 decoder debug: 720x576 (display 540,576), aspect 768000, sar 64:45, 25.000 fps I'm not the great mpeg guru, but AFAICT the movie sets display size 540x576 in a $B5 Sequence Extension header to define a SAR of 64:45? Patching the movie to aspect 3 makes mplayer happy, but vlc/gstreamer double strech the movie. I can provide a reasonable sized sample of the movie if wanted.
