300 the bag, becasue she'd never done it before... now that's just stupid, not a | |
301 case of simply not knowing what to do... Simply not being that familiar with | |
302 your surroundings is no excuse for a) laziness and b) ignorance. So many | |

409 <B>NEVER</B> use 2.96 or 3.0.x! They generate faulty code for MPlayer. |
6574 | 410 If you decide to change gcc from 2.96, then don't decide in favor of 3.0.x |
411 just because it's newer! Early releases of 3.0.x were even more buggy than | |
412 2.96. So downgrade to 2.95.x (downgrade libstdc++ too, other programs may | |
413 need it) or don't up/downgrade at all (but in this case, be prepared for | |
414 runtime problems). If you vote for 3.x.x, try to use the latest version, | |
415 early releases had various bugs, so be sure you use at least 3.1, it's | |

782 <P>If you experience a growing delay between the movie and the subtitles when | |
783 using a MicroDVD subtitle file, most likely the frame rate of the movie and | |
784 the subtitle file are different.<BR> Please note that the MicroDVD subtitle | |
785 format uses absolute frame numbers for its timing, and therefore the | |
786 <CODE>-subfps</CODE> option cannot be used with this format. As | |
787 <B>MPlayer</B> has no way to guess the frame rate of the subtitle file, you | |
788 have to manually convert the frame rate. There is a little perl script in the | |
789 <CODE>contrib</CODE> directory of the MPlayer FTP site to do this conversion | |
790 for you.</P> | |

6960 | 797 <P><B>MPlayer</B> introduces a new subtitle format called <B>MPsub</B>. It was |
798 designed by me (Gabucino). Basically its main feature is being | |
799 <I>dynamically</I> time-based (although it has frame-based mode too). Example | |
800 (from | |
6974 | 801 <A HREF="tech/mpsub.sub">DOCS/tech/mpsub.sub</A>):</P> |
802 | |
803 <P><CODE><I># first number : wait this much after previous subtitle disappeared<BR> | |
804 # second number : display the current subtitle for this many seconds<BR> | |
805 <BR> | |
806 15 3<BR> | |

813 Naboo was under an attack.<BR></I></CODE></P> | |
2210 | 814 |
6960 | 815 <P>So you see, the main goal was to <B>make subtitle |
816 editing/timing/joining/cutting easy</B>. And, if you - say - get an SSA | |
817 subtitle but it's badly timed/delayed to your version of the movie, you | |
818 simply do a <CODE>mplayer dummy.avi -sub source.ssa -dumpmpsub</CODE>. | |
819 A <CODE>dump.mpsub</CODE> file will be created in the current directory, | |
820 which will contain the source subtitle's text, but in <B>MPsub</B> format. | |
821 Then you can freely add/subtract seconds to/from the subtitle.</P> | |
822 | |
823 <P>Subtitles are displayed with a technique called <B>'OSD', On Screen | |
824 Display</B>. OSD is used to display current time, volume bar, seek bar | |
825 etc.</P> | |

829 <P>You need an <B>MPlayer</B> font package to be able to use OSD/SUB feature. | |

831 | |
1714 | 832 <UL> |
6960 | 833 <LI>download ready-to-use font packages from <B>MPlayer</B> site. |
834 Note: currently available fonts are limited for iso 8859-1/2 support, | |
835 but there are some other (including Korean, Russian, 8859-8 etc) fonts | |
836 at contrib/font section of FTP, made by users.<BR> | |
837 <BR> | |
838 Font should have appropriate font.desc file which maps unicode font | |
839 positions to the actual code page of the subtitles text. Other solution is | |
840 to have subtitles encoded in utf8 encoding and use <CODE>-utf8</CODE> | |
841 option or just name the subtitles file <video_name>.utf and have it | |
842 in the same dir as the video file. Recoding from different codepages to | |
843 utf8 could be done by using konwert (Debian) or iconv (Red Hat) | |
844 programs.<BR> | |

5826 | 1293 <P>The application name for <B>MPlayer</B> is - oh wonder - 'mplayer'. |
5969 | 1294 You can use any mplayer commands and even pass more than one command by |
1295 separating them with \n. Don't forget to enable the repeat flag in .lircrc | |
1296 when it make sense (seek, volume, etc). Here's an excerpt from my | |

1665 General audio delay or jerky sound (exists with all or many files): |
1748 | 1666 <UL> |
6974 | 1667 <LI>most common: buggy audio driver! - try to use different drivers, try |
1668 ALSA 0.9 OSS emulation with -ao oss, also try -ao sdl, sometimes it helps. | |
1669 If your file plays fine with -nosound, then you can be sure it's sound card | |
1670 (driver) problem.</LI> | |
1671 <LI>audio buffer problems (buffer size badly detected)<BR> | |
1672 Workaround: mplayer -abs option</LI> | |
1673 <LI>samplerate problems - maybe your card doesn't support the samplerate | |
1674 used in your files - try the resampling plugin (-aop)</LI> | |
1675 <LI>slow machine (CPU or VGA)<BR> | |
1676 try with -vo null, if it plays well, then you have slow VGA card/driver<BR> | |
1677 Workaround: buy a faster card or read this documentation about how to speed up<BR> | |
1678 Also try -framedrop</LI> | |

6974 | 1683 <LI>bad file<BR> |
1684 Workaround: | |
1685 <UL> | |
1686 <LI>-ni or -nobps option (for non-interleaved or bad files)<BR> | |
1687 and/or</LI> | |
1688 <LI>-mc 0 (required for files with badly interleaved VBR audio)<BR> | |

1693 </LI> | |
1694 <LI>your sound card doesn't support 48kHz playback<BR> | |
1695 Workaround: buy a better sound card... or try to decrease fps by 10% (use | |
1696 -fps 27 for a 30fps movie) or use the resampler plugin</LI> | |
1697 <LI>slow machine<BR> | |

1720 <P>First note: options -fs -vm and -zoom are just recommendations, not (yet) | |
6974 | 1721 supported by all drivers. So it isn't a bug if it doesn't work. |
1722 Only a few driver supports scaling/zooming, don't expect this from x11 or dga.</P> | |
1748 | 1723 |
1724 <P>OSD/sub flickering:<BR> | |
6974 | 1725 - x11 driver: sorry, it can't be fixed now<BR> |
