thanks for the tip. the diagnosis is spot-on. I measured the FPS and it's indeed more than 15, (~ 15.13). I will test it for 1-2 days continuous run and get back to you. -benchmark works as if it has infinite fps. How can I run in this _infinite_fps_ mode w/o printing CPU usage data etc. (I want to avoid a not-so-flexible solution like -fps 15.2) thanks, Anirban On Thu, May 20, 2010 at 8:45 PM, Reimar D?ffinger <Reimar.Doeffinger at gmx.de> wrote: > On Thu, May 20, 2010 at 11:12:18AM +0200, Anirban Dutta Choudhury wrote: >> VIDEO: ?[H264] ?0x0 ?0bpp ?15.000 fps ? ?0.0 kbps ( 0.0 kbyte/s) > > It is most likely your camera does not produce _exactly_ 15 fps, but actually > is a bit faster. > You can use -benchmark to have MPlayer play as fast as it gets the data, or > try -fps 15.1 or so. > _______________________________________________ > MPlayer-users mailing list > MPlayer-users at mplayerhq.hu > https://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/mplayer-users > -- ------------------------------------------- Anirban Dutta Choudhury Dipl.
