Hi, I compiled my own version of mplayer and everything works just fine except for a bit obscure output from the '-identify;. I have written a frontend for mencoder and it parses this output to do various things so a change is pretty confusing to the parser. Here is what it looks like for a DVD: ;32mDC?[0;32m ?[0;32mThere are 3 titles on this DVD. ?[0;37mID_DVD_CURRENT_TITLE=1 ?[0;32mThere are 1 angles in this DVD title. ?[0;32maudio stream: 0 format: ac3 (stereo) language: en aid: 128. ?[0;37mID_AUDIO_ID=128 ?[0;37mID_AID_128_LANG=en ?[0;32maudio stream: 1 format: ac3 (5.1) language: en aid: 129. ?[0;37mID_AUDIO_ID=129 ?[0;37mID_AID_129_LANG=en ?[0;32maudio stream: 2 format: ac3 (stereo) language: fr aid: 130. ?[0;37mID_AUDIO_ID=130 ?[0;37mID_AID_130_LANG=fr ?[0;32mnumber of audio channels on disk: 3. ?[0;32msubtitle ( sid ): 2 language: en ?[0;37mID_SUBTITLE_ID=2 ?[0;37mID_SID_2_LANG=en ?[0;32msubtitle ( sid ): 3 language: fr ?[0;37mID_SUBTITLE_ID=3 ?[0;37mID_SID_3_LANG=fr ?[0;32mnumber of subtitles on disk: 2 ?[0;37mCHAPTERS: ?[0;37m00:00:00,?[0;37m00:11:05,?[0;37m00:22:35,?[0;37m00:31:31 ,?[0;37m00:41:06,?[0;37m00:47:20,?[0;37m00:56:06,?[0;37m01:11:04,?[0;37m01:16:20 ,?[0;37m01:26:15,?[0;37m01:39:30,?[0;37m ?[0;37mID_VIDEO_ID=0 ?[0;37mMPEG-PS file format detected. ?[0;37mID_AUDIO_ID=128 ?[0;37mVIDEO: MPEG2 720x480 (aspect 3) 29.970 fps 9800.0 kbps (1225.0 kbyte /s) ?[0;37mID_FILENAME=dvd:// ?[0;37mID_DEMUXER=mpegps ?[0;37mID_VIDEO_FORMAT=0x10000002 ?[0;37mID_VIDEO_BITRATE=9800000 ?[0;37mID_VIDEO_WIDTH=720 ?[0;37mID_VIDEO_HEIGHT=480 ?[0;37mID_VIDEO_FPS=29.970 ?[0;37mID_VIDEO_ASPECT=0.0000 ?[0;37mID_AUDIO_FORMAT=8192 ?[0;37mID_AUDIO_BITRATE=0 ?[0;37mID_AUDIO_RATE=0 ?[0;37mID_AUDIO_NCH=0 ?[0;37mID_LENGTH=0.00 ?[0;37mID_SEEKABLE=1 ?[0;37mID_CHAPTERS=11 ?[0;37m========================================================================= = ?[0;37mOpening video decoder: [mpegpes] MPEG 1/2 Video passthrough ?[0;37mCould not find matching colorspace - retrying with -vf scale... ?[0;37mOpening video filter: [scale] ?[0;33mThe selected video_out device is incompatible with this codec.
