Hi, I bought a new LCD monitor with 60Hz framerate. When playing videos sometimes I git a distortet screen (not only with mplayer!!!). I think, it is because the video plays at 50Hz framerate which then interferes with the 60Hz refresh rate of the monitor. To proff this, I tried to play the video at 60Hz framerate, but unfortunately it seems, that mplayer insists of playing it with 50fps (which is the correct value for this movie!). I used mplayer -fps 60.0 <videofile> for this experiment. Is there any other way to force 60 fps for any video regardsless what the video tries to be at? Is there any other trick to circumvent the screen distortion I described aobove? Thank you for any help and hint in advance! Have a nice weekend!
