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

7814 | 383 <P>MPlayer is a movie player for LINUX (runs on many other Unices, and |
6974 | 384 <B>non-x86</B> CPUs, see the <A HREF="#ports">ports section</A>). It plays most |
8125 | 385 MPEG, VOB, AVI, OGG/OGM, VIVO, ASF/WMA/WMV, QT/MOV/MP4, FLI, RM, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, |
10130 | 386 FILM, RoQ, PVA, Matroska files, supported by many native, XAnim, RealPlayer, and |
6974 | 387 Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch <B>VideoCD</B>, <B>SVCD</B>, <B>DVD</B>, |

389 movies too (and you don't need the avifile | |
7814 | 390 library at all!). Another big feature of MPlayer is the wide range of |
6974 | 391 supported output drivers. It works with X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, |

6583 | 403 <P>The player is rock solid playing damaged MPEG files (useful for some VCDs), |
6974 | 404 and it plays bad AVI files which are unplayable with the famous |
405 windows media player. Even AVI files without index chunk are playable, and | |
406 you can temporarily rebuild their indexes with the <CODE>-idx</CODE> option, or | |
7814 | 407 permanently with MEncoder, thus enabling seeking! |

6960 | 862 you want to use the GUI. See the |
863 <A HREF="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/dload.html">download page</A>. | |

7814 | 866 <CODE>$HOME/.mplayer/Skin</CODE>. MPlayer by default looks in these |

919 that <CODE>-vobsubid</CODE> is omitted, MPlayer will try to use the languages | |

944 <P>If you experience a growing delay between the movie and the subtitles when | |
945 using a MicroDVD subtitle file, most likely the frame rate of the movie and | |
946 the subtitle file are different.<BR> Please note that the MicroDVD subtitle | |
947 format uses absolute frame numbers for its timing, and therefore the | |
948 <CODE>-subfps</CODE> option cannot be used with this format. As | |
7814 | 949 MPlayer has no way to guess the frame rate of the subtitle file, you |
6960 | 950 have to manually convert the frame rate. There is a little perl script in the |
951 <CODE>contrib</CODE> directory of the MPlayer FTP site to do this conversion | |
952 for you.</P> | |
8548 | 953 |
954 <P>MPlayer will try to guess the subtitle files you want to use when playing a | |
955 movie. If, like in most cases, subtitle and movie files have the same name and | |
956 are in the same place, you do not need to set the subtitle options. Just play | |
957 the movie, MPlayer will handle the subtitles automatically.</P> | |

988 A <CODE>dump.mpsub</CODE> file will be created in the current directory, | |

1016 Font should have appropriate font.desc file which maps unicode font | |
1017 positions to the actual code page of the subtitles text. Other solution is | |
1018 to have subtitles encoded in utf8 encoding and use <CODE>-utf8</CODE> | |
1019 option or just name the subtitles file <video_name>.utf and have it | |
1020 in the same dir as the video file. Recoding from different codepages to | |

8704 | 1169 <LI>Use the <CODE>channels</CODE> option. An example:<BR> |
9949 | 1170 <CODE>-tv channels=26-MTV1,23-TV2</CODE><BR> |
8704 | 1171 Explanation: using this option, only the 26 and 23 channels will be usable, |
1172 and there will be a nice OSD text upon channel switching, displaying the | |
1173 channel's name. Spaces in the channel name must be replaced by the "_" | |
1174 character.</LI> | |
8095 | 1175 <LI>Choose some sane image dimensions. The dimensions of the resulting image |
1176 should be divisible by 16.</LI> | |
1177 <LI>If you capture the video with the vertical resolution higher than half of | |
1178 the full resolution (i.e. 288 for PAL or 240 for NTSC), make sure you | |
1179 turned deinterlacing on. Otherwise you'll get a movie which is distorted | |
1180 during fast-motion scenes and the bitrate controller will be probably even | |
1181 unable to retain the specified bitrate as the interlacing artifacts produce | |
1182 high amount of detail and thus consume lot of bandwidth. You can enable | |

1183 deinterlacing with <CODE>-vf pp=DEINT_TYPE</CODE>. Usually |
8095 | 1184 <CODE>pp=lb</CODE> does a good job, but it can be matter of personal |
1185 preference. See other deinterlacing algorithms in the manual and give it a | |
1186 try.</LI> | |
1187 <LI>Crop out the dead space. When you capture the video, the areas at the | |
1188 edges are usually black or contain some noise. These again consume lots of | |
1189 unnecessary bandwidth. More precisely it's not the black areas themselves | |
1190 but the sharp transitions between the black and the brighter video image | |
1191 which do but that's not important for now. Before you start capturing, | |
1192 adjust the arguments of the <CODE>crop</CODE> option so that all the crap | |
1193 at the margins is cropped out. Again, don't forget to keep the resulting | |
1194 dimensions sane.</LI> | |
1195 <LI>Watch out for CPU load. It shouldn't cross the 90% boundary for most of | |
1196 the time. If you have a large capture buffer, MEncoder can survive an | |
1197 overload for few seconds but nothing more. It's better to turn off the 3D | |
1198 OpenGL screensavers and similar stuff.</LI> | |
1199 <LI>Don't mess with the system clock. MEncoder uses the system clock for | |
1200 doing A/V sync. If you adjust the system clock (especially backwards in | |
1201 time), MEncoder gets confused and you will lose frames. This is an | |
1202 important issue if you are hooked to a network and run some time | |
1203 synchronization software like NTP. You have to turn NTP off during the | |
1204 capture process if you want to capture reliably.</LI> | |
1205 <LI>Don't change the <CODE>outfmt</CODE> unless you know what you are doing | |
1206 or your card/driver really doesn't support the default (YV12 colorspace). | |
1207 In the older versions of MPlayer/MEncoder it was necessary to specify the | |
1208 output format. This issue should be fixed in the current releases and | |
1209 <CODE>outfmt</CODE> isn't required anymore, and the default suits the most | |
1210 purposes. For example, if you are capturing into DivX using libavcodec and | |
1211 specify <CODE>outfmt=RGB24</CODE> in order to increase the quality of the | |
1212 captured images, the captured image will be actually later converted back | |
1213 into YV12 so the only thing you achieve is a massive waste of CPU power. | |
1214 </LI> | |
1215 <LI>To specify the I420 colorspace (<CODE>outfmt=i420</CODE>), you have to | |
1216 add an option <CODE>-vc rawi420</CODE> due to a fourcc conflict with an | |
1217 Intel Indeo video codec.</LI> | |
1218 <LI>There are several ways of capturing audio. You can grab the sound either | |
1219 using your soundcard via an external cable connection between video card | |
1220 and line-in, or using the built-in ADC in the bt878 chip. In the latter | |
1221 case, you have to load the <b>btaudio</b> driver. Read the | |
1222 <CODE>linux/Documentation/sound/btaudio</CODE> file (in the kernel tree, | |
1223 not MPlayer's) for some instructions on using this driver.</LI> | |
1224 <LI>If MEncoder cannot open the audio device, make sure that it is really | |
1225 available. There can be some trouble with the sound servers like arts | |
1226 (KDE) or esd (GNOME). If you have a full duplex soundcard (almost any | |
1227 decent card supports it today), and you are using KDE, try to check the | |
1228 "full duplex" option in the sound server preference menu.</LI> | |

1252 This will additionally rescale the image to 384x288 and compresses | |
1253 the video with the bitrate of 350kbps in high quality mode. The | |
1254 vqmax option looses the quantizer and allows the video compressor to | |
1255 actualy reach so low bitrate even at the expense of the | |
1256 quality. This can be used for capturing long TV series, where the | |
1257 video quality isn't so important.<BR> | |

1265 It's also possible to specify smaller image dimensions in the | |
1266 <CODE>-tv</CODE> option and omit the software scaling but this | |
1267 approach uses the maximum available information and is a little more | |
1268 resistant to noise. The bt8x8 chips can do the pixel averaging only | |
8095 | 1269 in the horizontal direction due to a hardware limitation.</P> |
