Hello, I'm having problem with mplay to replay one mkv file. The error I got is "MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: decode video". I've tried windows xp, server 2008, also with the latest build of mplayer, all end up with the same error. I tried some other player, apparently the mkv file was able to be played in classic windows media player with storm codec or k-lite codec installed. so I'm guess it's not a corrupted file. Further more, I extracted the video stream from the mkv file using mkvtoolnix, save it as an rm file. Mplayer is able to play the rm file without error. That led me to think there might be some problem in mplayer that failed to parse the video stream from the mkv file correctly. I did try couple other mkv files, and mplayer can handle all of them without problem. One difference I noticed is that, other mkv files were build using mkvmerge v.2.2, while the one having problem is built with mkvmerge v.2.9. Then I downloaded mkvmerge v2.2, and created a new mkv file using the rm file that I extracted from the problemetic mkv. Again, mplayer can't play the new file, the error is same. With all these efforts and google around for days, I ran out of options and would like to hear your opinion. You can find the mkv and rm file in following link: http://okeoke.net/downloads/beta/mkv.zip http://okeoke.net/downloads/beta/rm.zip Many Thanks! Dan Following is the mplayer output, the mkv info of the file can be found at the end of this email. ==================================================== c:\mplayer>mplayer -vo direct3d d:\temp\by2.mkv MPlayer Sherpya-SVN-r28311-4.2.5 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz (Family: 6, Model: 23, Step ping: 7) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled with runtime CPU detection.
