annotate DOCS/documentation.html @ 8781:8e3e71a8c414

Remove an obsolete link in the solaris section of the documentation (mplayer should work out of the box with the included mpdvdkit2 on solaris). Mention the patches that should be installed to fix one of the two bugs that prevent the use of DVDs >4GB on solaris 8.

1143 adjust the arguments of the <CODE>crop</CODE> option so that all the crap
6b4200d4b64b cosmetics

6b4200d4b64b cosmetics

6b4200d4b64b cosmetics
diego

1153 important issue if you are hooked to a network and run some time

6b4200d4b64b cosmetics

1156 <LI>Don't change the <CODE>outfmt</CODE> unless you know what you are doing
6b4200d4b64b cosmetics
diego
parents: 8079

1157 or your card/driver really doesn't support the default (YV12 colorspace).
6b4200d4b64b cosmetics

1158 In the older versions of MPlayer/MEncoder it was necessary to specify the
6b4200d4b64b cosmetics
diego

1159 output format. This issue should be fixed in the current releases and
6b4200d4b64b cosmetics
diego
parents: 8079
diff changeset
1160 <CODE>outfmt</CODE> isn't required anymore, and the default suits the most
6b4200d4b64b cosmetics
diego
parents: 8079
diff changeset
1161 purposes. For example, if you are capturing into DivX using libavcodec and
6b4200d4b64b cosmetics
diego
parents: 8079
diff changeset
1162 specify <CODE>outfmt=RGB24</CODE> in order to increase the quality of the
6b4200d4b64b cosmetics
diego
parents: 8079
diff changeset
1163 captured images, the captured image will be actually later converted back
6b4200d4b64b cosmetics
diego
parents: 8079
diff changeset
1164 into YV12 so the only thing you achieve is a massive waste of CPU power.

6b4200d4b64b cosmetics

1170 using your soundcard via an external cable connection between video card
6b4200d4b64b cosmetics

6b4200d4b64b cosmetics
diego

1172 case, you have to load the <b>btaudio</b> driver. Read the
