I guess I could just increase the > buffer a little more for NTSC. Just curious... No need to worry about that. I just took the unit frames to have nice little values for the setup menu. The entered number of frames is internally converted to seconds (= / 25.0) and the delta of VDR's and xine's PTS values is compared against it after conversion into seconds too (= / 90000.0). So, no matter what frame rate your stream has: the buffer will always hold one second if you choose 25. BTW: all vdr-xine releases before 0.7.7 had a logic error: they calculated the buffer size as the maximum of video and audio buffer, but that was wrong. The current releases take the minimum. That's why channel switching takes some time even if a buffersize of 0 is specified, and why one had to reduce the buffer size setting of previous releases. Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform.
