For mplayer, -mc 1 helps a little, but still not nearly as good as xine or totem from the start. Also, it causes the ``Your system is too SLOW to play this!'' message to display. Kind of annoying. Now, if I use -mc 1 with mencoder and convert to an avi then play that AVI, it's perfect. So, on one thread, I'm discovering I need to use -mc 0 to fix one sync issue. And here I'm learning that -mc 1 fixes a different one. Bummer. Guess there are some broken DVD authoring tools out there? mrc
