371 I said a while ago that there is such a difference between a newbie and |
6583 | 372 a dumbass. No matter what you actually know about a system (linux, cars, |
6358 | 373 girls :D) you should ALWAYS be able to take a step back and be objective, |
374 otherwise, you're just dumb IMHO. A girl i live with assumed the vacuum | |
375 cleaner was broken because it didn't suck things up. never thought to change | |
376 the bag, becasue she'd never done it before... now that's just stupid, not a | |
377 case of simply not knowing what to do... Simply not being that familiar with | |
378 your surroundings is no excuse for a) laziness and b) ignorance. So many | |
379 people seem to see the word "error" and then stop... few seem to actually | |

7814 | 388 <P>MPlayer is a movie player for LINUX (runs on many other Unices, and |
6974 | 389 <B>non-x86</B> CPUs, see the <A HREF="#ports">ports section</A>). It plays most |
8125 | 390 MPEG, VOB, AVI, OGG/OGM, VIVO, ASF/WMA/WMV, QT/MOV/MP4, FLI, RM, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, |
7373 | 391 FILM, RoQ, PVA files, supported by many native, XAnim, RealPlayer, and |
6974 | 392 Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch <B>VideoCD</B>, <B>SVCD</B>, <B>DVD</B>, |
393 <B>3ivx</B>, <B>RealMedia</B>, and <B>DivX</B> movies too (and you don't need | |
394 the avifile | |
7814 | 395 library at all!). Another big feature of MPlayer is the wide range of |
6974 | 396 supported output drivers. It works with X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, |

6583 | 408 <P>The player is rock solid playing damaged MPEG files (useful for some VCDs), |
6974 | 409 and it plays bad AVI files which are unplayable with the famous |
410 windows media player. Even AVI files without index chunk are playable, and | |
411 you can temporarily rebuild their indexes with the <CODE>-idx</CODE> option, or | |
7814 | 412 permanently with MEncoder, thus enabling seeking! |

464 files or with audio/video sync. Most of them is unable to play both MPEG1, | |
465 MPEG2 and AVI (DivX) files. Many players have image quality or speed problems | |

900 <P>VobSub subtitles consist of a big (some megabytes) .SUB file, and optional |
6960 | 901 .IDX and/or .IFO files.<BR> |
8548 | 902 Usage: If you have files like <CODE>sample.sub</CODE>, |
8625 | 903 <CODE>sample.ifo</CODE> (optional), <CODE>sample.idx</CODE> - you have to pass |
8548 | 904 MPlayer the <CODE>-vobsub sample [-vobsubid <id>]</CODE> options (full |

906 for DVDs, you can choose between subtitle tracks (languages) with it. In case | |
907 that <CODE>-vobsubid</CODE> is omitted, MPlayer will try to use the languages | |
908 given by the <CODE>-slang</CODE> option and fall back to the | |
8759 | 909 <CODE>langidx</CODE> item in the .IDX file to set the subtitle language. If |

932 <P>If you experience a growing delay between the movie and the subtitles when | |
933 using a MicroDVD subtitle file, most likely the frame rate of the movie and | |
934 the subtitle file are different.<BR> Please note that the MicroDVD subtitle | |
935 format uses absolute frame numbers for its timing, and therefore the | |
936 <CODE>-subfps</CODE> option cannot be used with this format. As | |
7814 | 937 MPlayer has no way to guess the frame rate of the subtitle file, you |
6960 | 938 have to manually convert the frame rate. There is a little perl script in the |
939 <CODE>contrib</CODE> directory of the MPlayer FTP site to do this conversion | |
940 for you.</P> | |
8548 | 941 |
942 <P>MPlayer will try to guess the subtitle files you want to use when playing a | |
943 movie. If, like in most cases, subtitle and movie files have the same name and | |
944 are in the same place, you do not need to set the subtitle options. Just play | |
945 the movie, MPlayer will handle the subtitles automatically.</P> | |

7814 | 952 <P>MPlayer introduces a new subtitle format called <B>MPsub</B>. It was |
6960 | 953 designed by me (Gabucino). Basically its main feature is being |
954 <I>dynamically</I> time-based (although it has frame-based mode too). Example | |
955 (from | |
6974 | 956 <A HREF="tech/mpsub.sub">DOCS/tech/mpsub.sub</A>):</P> |
957 | |
958 <P><CODE><I># first number : wait this much after previous subtitle disappeared<BR> | |
959 # second number : display the current subtitle for this many seconds<BR> | |
960 <BR> | |

968 Naboo was under an attack.<BR></I></CODE></P> | |
2210 | 969 |
6960 | 970 <P>So you see, the main goal was to <B>make subtitle |
971 editing/timing/joining/cutting easy</B>. And, if you - say - get an SSA | |
972 subtitle but it's badly timed/delayed to your version of the movie, you | |
973 simply do a <CODE>mplayer dummy.avi -sub source.ssa -dumpmpsub</CODE>. | |
974 A <CODE>dump.mpsub</CODE> file will be created in the current directory, | |
975 which will contain the source subtitle's text, but in <B>MPsub</B> format. | |
976 Then you can freely add/subtract seconds to/from the subtitle.</P> | |
977 | |
978 <P>Subtitles are displayed with a technique called <B>'OSD', On Screen | |
979 Display</B>. OSD is used to display current time, volume bar, seek bar | |
980 etc.</P> | |

6960 | 990 but there are some other (including Korean, Russian, 8859-8 etc) fonts |
991 at contrib/font section of FTP, made by users.<BR> | |

993 Font should have appropriate font.desc file which maps unicode font | |
994 positions to the actual code page of the subtitles text. Other solution is | |
995 to have subtitles encoded in utf8 encoding and use <CODE>-utf8</CODE> | |
996 option or just name the subtitles file <video_name>.utf and have it | |
997 in the same dir as the video file. Recoding from different codepages to | |

7955 | 1148 |
1149 The full listing of the options is available on the manual page. Here | |
1150 are just a few tips: | |
1151 | |
1152 <UL> | |
8704 | 1153 <LI>Use the <CODE>channels</CODE> option. An example:<BR> |
1154 <CODE>-tv on:channels=26-MTV1,23-TV2</CODE><BR> | |
1155 Explanation: using this option, only the 26 and 23 channels will be usable, | |
1156 and there will be a nice OSD text upon channel switching, displaying the | |
1157 channel's name. Spaces in the channel name must be replaced by the "_" | |
1158 character.</LI> | |
8095 | 1159 <LI>Choose some sane image dimensions. The dimensions of the resulting image |
1160 should be divisible by 16.</LI> | |
1161 <LI>If you capture the video with the vertical resolution higher than half of | |
1162 the full resolution (i.e. 288 for PAL or 240 for NTSC), make sure you | |
1163 turned deinterlacing on. Otherwise you'll get a movie which is distorted | |
1164 during fast-motion scenes and the bitrate controller will be probably even | |
1165 unable to retain the specified bitrate as the interlacing artifacts produce | |
1166 high amount of detail and thus consume lot of bandwidth. You can enable | |
1167 deinterlacing with <CODE>-vop pp=DEINT_TYPE</CODE>. Usually | |
1168 <CODE>pp=lb</CODE> does a good job, but it can be matter of personal | |
1169 preference. See other deinterlacing algorithms in the manual and give it a | |
1170 try.</LI> | |
1171 <LI>Crop out the dead space. When you capture the video, the areas at the | |
1172 edges are usually black or contain some noise. These again consume lots of | |
1173 unnecessary bandwidth. More precisely it's not the black areas themselves | |
1174 but the sharp transitions between the black and the brighter video image | |
1175 which do but that's not important for now. Before you start capturing, | |
1176 adjust the arguments of the <CODE>crop</CODE> option so that all the crap | |
1177 at the margins is cropped out. Again, don't forget to keep the resulting | |
1178 dimensions sane.</LI> | |
1179 <LI>Watch out for CPU load. It shouldn't cross the 90% boundary for most of | |
1180 the time. If you have a large capture buffer, MEncoder can survive an | |
1181 overload for few seconds but nothing more. It's better to turn off the 3D | |
1182 OpenGL screensavers and similar stuff.</LI> | |
1183 <LI>Don't mess with the system clock. MEncoder uses the system clock for | |
1184 doing A/V sync. If you adjust the system clock (especially backwards in | |
1185 time), MEncoder gets confused and you will lose frames. This is an | |
1186 important issue if you are hooked to a network and run some time | |
1187 synchronization software like NTP. You have to turn NTP off during the | |
1188 capture process if you want to capture reliably.</LI> | |
1189 <LI>Don't change the <CODE>outfmt</CODE> unless you know what you are doing | |
1190 or your card/driver really doesn't support the default (YV12 colorspace). | |
1191 In the older versions of MPlayer/MEncoder it was necessary to specify the | |
1192 output format. This issue should be fixed in the current releases and | |
1193 <CODE>outfmt</CODE> isn't required anymore, and the default suits the most | |
1194 purposes. For example, if you are capturing into DivX using libavcodec and | |
1195 specify <CODE>outfmt=RGB24</CODE> in order to increase the quality of the | |
1196 captured images, the captured image will be actually later converted back | |
1197 into YV12 so the only thing you achieve is a massive waste of CPU power. | |
1198 </LI> | |
1199 <LI>To specify the I420 colorspace (<CODE>outfmt=i420</CODE>), you have to | |
1200 add an option <CODE>-vc rawi420</CODE> due to a fourcc conflict with an | |
1201 Intel Indeo video codec.</LI> | |
1202 <LI>There are several ways of capturing audio. You can grab the sound either | |
1203 using your soundcard via an external cable connection between video card | |
1204 and line-in, or using the built-in ADC in the bt878 chip. In the latter | |
1205 case, you have to load the <b>btaudio</b> driver. Read the | |
1206 <CODE>linux/Documentation/sound/btaudio</CODE> file (in the kernel tree, | |
1207 not MPlayer's) for some instructions on using this driver.</LI> | |
1208 <LI>If MEncoder cannot open the audio device, make sure that it is really | |
1209 available. There can be some trouble with the sound servers like arts | |
1210 (KDE) or esd (GNOME). If you have a full duplex soundcard (almost any | |
1211 decent card supports it today), and you are using KDE, try to check the | |
1212 "full duplex" option in the sound server preference menu.</LI> | |

1237 This will additionally rescale the image to 384x288 and compresses | |
1238 the video with the bitrate of 350kbps in high quality mode. The | |
1239 vqmax option looses the quantizer and allows the video compressor to | |
1240 actualy reach so low bitrate even at the expense of the | |
1241 quality. This can be used for capturing long TV series, where the | |
1242 video quality isn't so important.<BR> | |

1250 It's also possible to specify smaller image dimensions in the | |
1251 <CODE>-tv</CODE> option and omit the software scaling but this | |
1252 approach uses the maximum available information and is a little more | |
1253 resistant to noise. The bt8x8 chips can do the pixel averaging only | |
8095 | 1254 in the horizontal direction due to a hardware limitation.</P> |
