Hi I'm trying to play (and rip) a DVD, but mplayer fails with the error Too many audio packets in the buffer I also copied the .vob file onto my drive, but this does not solve it. vlc and xine play (and rip) the DVD and the copied file without problem. The problem occurs both with the SVN version of today 8/12/09 and the fedora package mplayer-1.0-0.111.20091029svn.fc12 Log: ===================================== ./mplayer -ao null -vo null -ni /tmp/baby/vob/014/baby-001.vob -v -v -v this_opt = option: v Setting v=(null) Config pushed level is now 2 Config pushed level is now 3 MPlayer SVN-r29980-4.4.2 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team CPU vendor name: GenuineIntel max cpuid level: 10 CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T9300 @ 2.50GHz (Family: 6, Model: 23, Stepping: 6) extended cpuid-level: 8 extended cache-info: 402686016 Detected cache-line size is 64 bytes Testing OS support for SSE... yes.
