|
|
3297
|
17
|
|
|
18 2. Compile mplayer:
|
|
|
19 ./configure should detect it. If didn't, force with ./configure --enable-dvb
|
|
|
20 If you have ost headers at non-standard path, set it with:

26 How to use?
|
|
|
27 ~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
1936
|
28 To play standard mpeg 1/2 files: (hardware decoding)
|
|
|
29
|
|
5620
|
30 mplayer -ao mpegpes -vo mpegpes file.mpg|vob
|
|
1936
|
31
|
|
|
32 To play non-standard mpeg files: (software decoding)
|
|
|
33
|
|
5620
|
34 mplayer -ao mpegpes -vo mpegpes -vc mpeg12 file.mpg|vob
|
|
1936
|
35
|
|
|
36 To play divx files:
|
|
|
37
|
|
5620
|
38 mplayer -ao mpegpes -vo mpegpes file.avi|asf|mov...
|
|
1936
|
39
|
|
1960
|
40 To play non-25fps movies, or with slow CPU, add option: -framedrop
|
|
1936
|
41
|
|
1960
|
42 Image size:
|
|
|
43 ~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
44 DVB card allows only 2 vertical resolutions: 288 and 576.
|
|
|
45 If your video height differs, you have to clip it or extend by adding
|
|
|
46 black bands. It's done by mplayer, just specify image size using the
|
|
|
47 -x and -y options. You must use either -y 288 or -y 576.
|
|
|
48
|
|
1963
|
49 To force pan&scan (16:9 at 4:3 TV), add options: -x 352 -y 288
|
|
1936
|
50
|
|
5620
|
51 If you have powerfull CPU, you can also scale image up, using the
|
|
|
52 swscale filter. For example, to watch a 640x288 video fullscreen,
|
|
|
53 use -vop scale=640:400
|
|
|
54 Note that you don't have to scale horizontally, the card will do it
|
|
|
55 by hardware, but you have to scale vertically keeping the aspect ratio.

|
|
|
67 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
68
|
|
|
69 - display OSD and subtitles using DVB card's OSD feature
|
|
|
70 - better (more fluent) playback of non-25fps movies
|
|
|
71 - realtime transcoding between mpeg2 <-> mpeg4 (partial decompression)
|
|
5620
|
72 - better quality for lowres mpeg1
