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

316 MPEG, VOB, AVI, OGG, VIVO, ASF/WMV, QT/MOV, FLI, RM, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, | |
7373 | 317 FILM, RoQ, PVA files, supported by many native, XAnim, RealPlayer, and |

320 the avifile | |

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

720 due to technical reasons.</P> | |
721 | |
7814 | 722 <P>As MPlayer doesn't have a skin included, you have to download them if |
6960 | 723 you want to use the GUI. See the |
724 <A HREF="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/dload.html">download page</A>. | |
725 They should be extracted to the usual system-wide directory | |
726 (<CODE>$PREFIX/share/mplayer/Skin</CODE>), or to | |

784 <P>If you experience a growing delay between the movie and the subtitles when | |
785 using a MicroDVD subtitle file, most likely the frame rate of the movie and | |
786 the subtitle file are different.<BR> Please note that the MicroDVD subtitle | |
787 format uses absolute frame numbers for its timing, and therefore the | |
788 <CODE>-subfps</CODE> option cannot be used with this format. As | |
7814 | 789 MPlayer has no way to guess the frame rate of the subtitle file, you |
6960 | 790 have to manually convert the frame rate. There is a little perl script in the |

7814 | 799 <P>MPlayer introduces a new subtitle format called <B>MPsub</B>. It was |
6960 | 800 designed by me (Gabucino). Basically its main feature is being |
801 <I>dynamically</I> time-based (although it has frame-based mode too). Example | |
802 (from | |
6974 | 803 <A HREF="tech/mpsub.sub">DOCS/tech/mpsub.sub</A>):</P> |
804 | |
805 <P><CODE><I># first number : wait this much after previous subtitle disappeared<BR> | |
806 # second number : display the current subtitle for this many seconds<BR> | |
807 <BR> | |
808 15 3<BR> | |

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

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

7955 | 960 <H3><A NAME="tv_tips">2.5.2 Usage tips</A></H3> |
961 | |
962 The full listing of the options is available on the manual page. Here | |
963 are just a few tips: | |
964 | |
965 <UL> | |
966 | |
967 <LI> | |
968 Choose some sane image dimensions. The dimensions of the resulting | |
969 image should be divisible by 16. | |
970 </LI> | |
971 | |
972 <LI>If you capture the video with the vertical resolution higher than | |
973 half of the full resolution (i.e. 288 for PAL or 240 for NTSC), make | |
974 sure you turned deinterlacing on. Otherwise you'll get a movie which | |
975 is distorted during fast-motion scenes and the bitrate controller will | |
976 be probably even unable to retain the specified bitrate as the | |
977 interlacing artifacts produce high amount of detail and thus consume | |
978 lot of bandwidth. You can enable deinterlacing with <CODE>-vop | |
979 pp=DEINT_TYPE</CODE>. Usually <CODE>pp=lb</CODE> does a good | |
980 job, but it can be matter of personal preference. See other | |
981 deinterlacing algorithms in the manual and give it a try.</LI> | |
982 | |
983 <LI> | |
984 Crop out the dead space. When you capture the video, the areas at the | |
985 edges are usually black or contain some noise. These again consume | |
986 lots of unnecessary bandwidth. More precisely it's not the black | |
987 areas themselves but the sharp transitions between the black and the | |
988 brighter video image which do but that's not important for now. Before | |
989 you start capturing, adjust the arguments of the <CODE>crop</CODE> | |
990 option so that all the crap at the margins is cropped out. Again, | |
991 don't forget to keep the resulting dimensions sane. | |
992 </LI> | |
3490 | 993 |
7955 | 994 <LI> |
995 Watch out for CPU load. It shouldn't cross the 90% boundary for most | |
996 of the time. If you have a large capture buffer, MEncoder can survive | |
997 an overload for few seconds but nothing more. It's better to turn off | |
998 the 3D OpenGL screensavers and similar stuff. | |
999 </LI> | |
6974 | 1000 |
7955 | 1001 <LI> |
1002 Don't mess with the system clock. MEncoder uses the system clock for | |
1003 doing A/V sync. If you adjust the system clock (especially backwards | |
1004 in time), MEncoder gets confused and you will lose frames. This is an | |
1005 important issue if you are hooked to a network and run some time | |
1006 synchronization software like NTP. You have to turn NTP off during the | |
1007 capture process if you want to capture reliably. | |
1008 </LI> | |
1009 | |
1010 <LI> | |
1011 Don't change the <CODE>outfmt</CODE> unless you know what you are | |
1012 doing or your card/driver really doesn't support the default (YV12 | |
1013 colorspace) . In the older versions of MPlayer/MEncoder it was necessary | |
1014 to specify the output format. This issue should be fixed in the | |
1015 current releases and <CODE>outfmt</CODE> isn't required anymore, and | |
1016 the default suits the most purposes. For example, if you are capturing | |
1017 into DivX using libavcodec and specify <CODE>outfmt=RGB24</CODE> in | |
1018 order to increase the quality of the captured images, the captured | |
1019 image will be actually later converted back into YV12 so the only | |
1020 thing you achieve is a massive waste of CPU power. | |
1021 </LI> | |
1022 | |
1023 <LI> | |
1024 To specify the I420 colorspace (<CODE>outfmt=i420</CODE>), you have to | |
1025 add an option <CODE>-vc rawi420</CODE> due to a fourcc conflict with | |
1026 an Intel Indeo video codec. | |
1027 </LI> | |
1028 | |
1029 <LI> | |
7999 | 1030 There are several ways of capturing audio. You can grab the sound |
1031 either using your soundcard via an external cable connection between | |
1032 video card and line-in, or using the built-in ADC in the bt878 | |
1033 chip. In the latter case, you have to load the <b>btaudio</b> | |
1034 driver. Read the <CODE>linux/Documentation/sound/btaudio</CODE> file | |
1035 (in the kernel tree, not MPlayer's) for some instructions on using this driver. | |
1036 </LI> | |
1037 | |
1038 <LI> | |
7955 | 1039 If MEncoder cannot open the audio device, make sure that it is really |
1040 available. There can be some trouble with the sound servers like arts | |
1041 (KDE) or esd (GNOME). If you have a full duplex soundcard (almost any | |
1042 decent card supports it today), and you are using KDE, try to check | |
1043 the "full duplex" option in the sound server preference menu. | |
1044 </LI> | |

1070 This will additionally rescale the image to 384x288 and compresses | |
1071 the video with the bitrate of 350kbps in high quality mode. The | |
1072 vqmax option looses the quantizer and allows the video compressor to | |
1073 actualy reach so low bitrate even at the expense of the | |
1074 quality. This can be used for capturing long TV series, where the | |
1075 video quality isn't so important.<BR> | |

1083 It's also possible to specify smaller image dimensions in the | |
1084 <CODE>-tv</CODE> option and omit the software scaling but this | |
1085 approach uses the maximum available information and is a little more | |
1086 resistant to noise. The bt8x8 chips can do the pixel averaging only | |
1087 in the horizontal direction due to a hardware limitation. | |

1701 General audio delay or jerky sound (exists with all or many files): |
1748 | 1702 <UL> |
6974 | 1703 <LI>most common: buggy audio driver! - try to use different drivers, try |
1704 ALSA 0.9 OSS emulation with -ao oss, also try -ao sdl, sometimes it helps. | |
1705 If your file plays fine with -nosound, then you can be sure it's sound card | |
1706 (driver) problem.</LI> | |
1707 <LI>audio buffer problems (buffer size badly detected)<BR> | |
1708 Workaround: mplayer -abs option</LI> | |
1709 <LI>samplerate problems - maybe your card doesn't support the samplerate | |
1710 used in your files - try the resampling plugin (-aop)</LI> | |
1711 <LI>slow machine (CPU or VGA)<BR> | |
1712 try with -vo null, if it plays well, then you have slow VGA card/driver<BR> | |
1713 Workaround: buy a faster card or read this documentation about how to speed up<BR> | |
1714 Also try -framedrop</LI> | |

6974 | 1719 <LI>bad file<BR> |
1720 Workaround: | |
1721 <UL> | |
1722 <LI>-ni or -nobps option (for non-interleaved or bad files)<BR> | |
1723 and/or</LI> | |
1724 <LI>-mc 0 (required for files with badly interleaved VBR audio)<BR> | |
1725 and/or</LI> | |
1726 <LI>-delay option or +/- keys at runtime to adjust delay</LI> | |
1727 </UL> | |
1728 If none of these help, please upload the file, we'll check (and fix). | |
1729 </LI> | |
1730 <LI>your sound card doesn't support 48kHz playback<BR> | |
1731 Workaround: buy a better sound card... or try to decrease fps by 10% (use | |
1732 -fps 27 for a 30fps movie) or use the resampler plugin</LI> | |
1733 <LI>slow machine<BR> | |
1734 (if A-V is not around 0, and the last number in the status line increasing)<BR> | |

1748 | 1754 <P>Video-out problems:</P> |
1755 | |
1756 <P>First note: options -fs -vm and -zoom are just recommendations, not (yet) | |
6974 | 1757 supported by all drivers. So it isn't a bug if it doesn't work. |
1758 Only a few driver supports scaling/zooming, don't expect this from x11 or dga.</P> | |
1748 | 1759 |
1760 <P>OSD/sub flickering:<BR> | |
6974 | 1761 - x11 driver: sorry, it can't be fixed now<BR> |
1762 - xv driver: use -double option</P> | |

5105 | 1764 <P>Green image using mga_vid (-vo mga / -vo xmga):<BR> |
6974 | 1765 - mga_vid misdetected your card's RAM amount, reload it using mga_ram_size option</P> |
