demux_mkv very long seek fix The seek code searching for the closest position in the index used "int64_t min_diff=0xFFFFFFFL" as the initial "further from the goal than any real alternative" value. The unit is milliseconds so seeks more than about 75 hours past the end of the file would fail to recognize the last index position as the best match. This was triggered in practice by chapter seek code which apparently uses a seek of 1000000000 seconds forward to mean "seek to the end". The practical effect was that trying to seek to the next chapter in a file without chapters made MPlayer block until it finished reading the file from the current position to the end. Fixed by increasing the initial value from FFFFFFF to FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

software scaler filter docs

-ssf cgb=<float> chrominance gaussian blur
	useful for videos with some chroma (color) noise (TV captures, VHS, ...)

-ssf lgb=<float> -> luminance gaussian blur
	hmm, mostly special effect, could be used as lame noise reducer though

-ssf chs=<int> -> shift chrominance horizontally
-ssf cvs=<int> -> shift chrominance vertically
	useful if the luma & chroma are not aligned exactly

-ssf cs=<float> -> chrominance sharpen
-ssf ls=<float> -> luminance sharpen
	simple sharpening filter

note: these will only work if the swscaler is used at all (use -vf scale)

example: mplayer foobar.avi -vf scale -ssf lgb=3.0
