> The problem still stands So it is "MPlayer SVN-r31179-4.3.2 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team" version you're using? I'm sorry I probably will not be able to help you, but I'm sure noone else can, with only the information you provided. mplayer's complete, uncut console output (with -v) is definitely needed. And a bit of your source file could be helpful. If it is a DVB stream, it should be OK to just provide some MBytes of it, not the whole file. > Thanks for your supportive comments.... Sorry. Kiste
