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

6974 | 314 <B>non-x86</B> CPUs, see the <A HREF="#ports">ports section</A>). It plays most |
315 MPEG, VOB, AVI, OGG, VIVO, ASF/WMV, QT/MOV, FLI, RM, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, | |
7373 | 316 FILM, RoQ, PVA files, supported by many native, XAnim, RealPlayer, and |

318 <B>3ivx</B>, <B>RealMedia</B>, and <B>DivX</B> movies too (and you don't need | |
319 the avifile | |
7814 | 320 library at all!). Another big feature of MPlayer is the wide range of |
6974 | 321 supported output drivers. It works with X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, |

338 you can temporarily rebuild their indexes with the <CODE>-idx</CODE> option, or | |

717 | |
7814 | 718 <P>As MPlayer doesn't have a skin included, you have to download them if |
6960 | 719 you want to use the GUI. See the |
720 <A HREF="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/dload.html">download page</A>. | |
721 They should be extracted to the usual system-wide directory | |
722 (<CODE>$PREFIX/share/mplayer/Skin</CODE>), or to | |

780 <P>If you experience a growing delay between the movie and the subtitles when | |
781 using a MicroDVD subtitle file, most likely the frame rate of the movie and | |
782 the subtitle file are different.<BR> Please note that the MicroDVD subtitle | |
783 format uses absolute frame numbers for its timing, and therefore the | |
784 <CODE>-subfps</CODE> option cannot be used with this format. As | |
7814 | 785 MPlayer has no way to guess the frame rate of the subtitle file, you |
6960 | 786 have to manually convert the frame rate. There is a little perl script in the |

7814 | 795 <P>MPlayer introduces a new subtitle format called <B>MPsub</B>. It was |
6960 | 796 designed by me (Gabucino). Basically its main feature is being |
797 <I>dynamically</I> time-based (although it has frame-based mode too). Example | |
798 (from | |
6974 | 799 <A HREF="tech/mpsub.sub">DOCS/tech/mpsub.sub</A>):</P> |
800 | |
801 <P><CODE><I># first number : wait this much after previous subtitle disappeared<BR> | |
802 # second number : display the current subtitle for this many seconds<BR> | |
803 <BR> | |
804 15 3<BR> | |
805 A long long, time ago...<BR> | |

811 Naboo was under an attack.<BR></I></CODE></P> | |
2210 | 812 |
6960 | 813 <P>So you see, the main goal was to <B>make subtitle |
814 editing/timing/joining/cutting easy</B>. And, if you - say - get an SSA | |
815 subtitle but it's badly timed/delayed to your version of the movie, you | |
816 simply do a <CODE>mplayer dummy.avi -sub source.ssa -dumpmpsub</CODE>. | |
817 A <CODE>dump.mpsub</CODE> file will be created in the current directory, | |
818 which will contain the source subtitle's text, but in <B>MPsub</B> format. | |
819 Then you can freely add/subtract seconds to/from the subtitle.</P> | |
820 | |
821 <P>Subtitles are displayed with a technique called <B>'OSD', On Screen | |
822 Display</B>. OSD is used to display current time, volume bar, seek bar | |
823 etc.</P> | |

7814 | 827 <P>You need an MPlayer font package to be able to use OSD/SUB feature. |
6960 | 828 There are many ways to get it:</P> |
829 | |
1714 | 830 <UL> |
7814 | 831 <LI>download ready-to-use font packages from MPlayer site. |
6960 | 832 Note: currently available fonts are limited for iso 8859-1/2 support, |
833 but there are some other (including Korean, Russian, 8859-8 etc) fonts | |
834 at contrib/font section of FTP, made by users.<BR> | |
835 <BR> | |
836 Font should have appropriate font.desc file which maps unicode font | |
837 positions to the actual code page of the subtitles text. Other solution is | |
838 to have subtitles encoded in utf8 encoding and use <CODE>-utf8</CODE> | |
839 option or just name the subtitles file <video_name>.utf and have it | |
840 in the same dir as the video file. Recoding from different codepages to | |
841 utf8 could be done by using konwert (Debian) or iconv (Red Hat) | |
842 programs.<BR> | |

1601 General audio delay or jerky sound (exists with all or many files): |
1748 | 1602 <UL> |
6974 | 1603 <LI>most common: buggy audio driver! - try to use different drivers, try |
1604 ALSA 0.9 OSS emulation with -ao oss, also try -ao sdl, sometimes it helps. | |
1605 If your file plays fine with -nosound, then you can be sure it's sound card | |
1606 (driver) problem.</LI> | |
1607 <LI>audio buffer problems (buffer size badly detected)<BR> | |
1608 Workaround: mplayer -abs option</LI> | |
1609 <LI>samplerate problems - maybe your card doesn't support the samplerate | |
1610 used in your files - try the resampling plugin (-aop)</LI> | |
1611 <LI>slow machine (CPU or VGA)<BR> | |
1612 try with -vo null, if it plays well, then you have slow VGA card/driver<BR> | |
1613 Workaround: buy a faster card or read this documentation about how to speed up<BR> | |
1614 Also try -framedrop</LI> | |

1617 Audio delay/de-sync specific to one or a few files: |
1748 | 1618 <UL> |
6974 | 1619 <LI>bad file<BR> |
1620 Workaround: | |
1621 <UL> | |
1622 <LI>-ni or -nobps option (for non-interleaved or bad files)<BR> | |
1623 and/or</LI> | |
1624 <LI>-mc 0 (required for files with badly interleaved VBR audio)<BR> | |
1625 and/or</LI> | |
1626 <LI>-delay option or +/- keys at runtime to adjust delay</LI> | |
1627 </UL> | |
1628 If none of these help, please upload the file, we'll check (and fix). | |
1629 </LI> | |
1630 <LI>your sound card doesn't support 48kHz playback<BR> | |
1631 Workaround: buy a better sound card... or try to decrease fps by 10% (use | |
1632 -fps 27 for a 30fps movie) or use the resampler plugin</LI> | |
1633 <LI>slow machine<BR> | |
1634 (if A-V is not around 0, and the last number in the status line increasing)<BR> | |
1635 Workaround: -framedrop</LI> | |

1647 Workaround: read the documentation and help us adding support for it</LI> | |
1648 <LI>auto-selected codec can't decode the file, try to select another using -vc | |
1649 or -vfm options</LI> | |
1650 <LI>you try to play DivX 3.x file with OpenDivX decoder or XviD (-vc odivx) | |

1748 | 1654 <P>Video-out problems:</P> |
1655 | |
1656 <P>First note: options -fs -vm and -zoom are just recommendations, not (yet) | |
6974 | 1657 supported by all drivers. So it isn't a bug if it doesn't work. |
1658 Only a few driver supports scaling/zooming, don't expect this from x11 or dga.</P> | |
1748 | 1659 |
1660 <P>OSD/sub flickering:<BR> | |
6974 | 1661 - x11 driver: sorry, it can't be fixed now<BR> |
1662 - xv driver: use -double option</P> | |
1748 | 1663 |
5105 | 1664 <P>Green image using mga_vid (-vo mga / -vo xmga):<BR> |
6974 | 1665 - mga_vid misdetected your card's RAM amount, reload it using mga_ram_size option</P> |
