6358 | 353 girls :D) you should ALWAYS be able to take a step back and be objective, |
354 otherwise, you're just dumb IMHO. A girl i live with assumed the vacuum | |
355 cleaner was broken because it didn't suck things up. never thought to change | |
356 the bag, becasue she'd never done it before... now that's just stupid, not a | |
357 case of simply not knowing what to do... Simply not being that familiar with | |
358 your surroundings is no excuse for a) laziness and b) ignorance. So many | |

6974 | 441 I (A'rpi) have tried lots of players under linux (mtv,xmps,dvdview,livid/oms,videolan, |
442 xine,xanim,avifile,xmmp) but they all have some problem. Mostly with special | |
443 files or with audio/video sync. Most of them is unable to play both MPEG1, | |
444 MPEG2 and AVI (DivX) files. Many players have image quality or speed problems | |
445 too. So I've decided to write/modify one...</P> | |

9230 | 821 <P>The GUI needs GTK 1.2.x (it isn't fully GTK, but the panels are). The skins are stored |
822 in PNG format, so gtk, libpng (and their devel stuff, usually called gtk-dev and libpng-dev) has to be installed. | |

7814 | 834 <P>As MPlayer doesn't have a skin included, you have to download them if |
6960 | 835 you want to use the GUI. See the |

882 <P>VobSub subtitles consist of a big (some megabytes) .SUB file, and optional |
6960 | 883 .IDX and/or .IFO files.<BR> |
8548 | 884 Usage: If you have files like <CODE>sample.sub</CODE>, |
8625 | 885 <CODE>sample.ifo</CODE> (optional), <CODE>sample.idx</CODE> - you have to pass |
8548 | 886 MPlayer the <CODE>-vobsub sample [-vobsubid <id>]</CODE> options (full |
887 path optional). The <CODE>-vobsubid</CODE> option is like <CODE>-sid</CODE> | |
888 for DVDs, you can choose between subtitle tracks (languages) with it. In case | |
889 that <CODE>-vobsubid</CODE> is omitted, MPlayer will try to use the languages | |
890 given by the <CODE>-slang</CODE> option and fall back to the | |
8759 | 891 <CODE>langidx</CODE> item in the .IDX file to set the subtitle language. If |
8548 | 892 that fails, there will be no subtitles.</P> |

6960 | 913 |
914 <P>If you experience a growing delay between the movie and the subtitles when | |
915 using a MicroDVD subtitle file, most likely the frame rate of the movie and | |
916 the subtitle file are different.<BR> Please note that the MicroDVD subtitle | |
917 format uses absolute frame numbers for its timing, and therefore the | |
918 <CODE>-subfps</CODE> option cannot be used with this format. As | |
7814 | 919 MPlayer has no way to guess the frame rate of the subtitle file, you |
6960 | 920 have to manually convert the frame rate. There is a little perl script in the |
921 <CODE>contrib</CODE> directory of the MPlayer FTP site to do this conversion | |
922 for you.</P> | |
8548 | 923 |
924 <P>MPlayer will try to guess the subtitle files you want to use when playing a | |
925 movie. If, like in most cases, subtitle and movie files have the same name and | |
926 are in the same place, you do not need to set the subtitle options. Just play | |
927 the movie, MPlayer will handle the subtitles automatically.</P> | |

7814 | 934 <P>MPlayer introduces a new subtitle format called <B>MPsub</B>. It was |
6960 | 935 designed by me (Gabucino). Basically its main feature is being |
936 <I>dynamically</I> time-based (although it has frame-based mode too). Example | |
937 (from | |
6974 | 938 <A HREF="tech/mpsub.sub">DOCS/tech/mpsub.sub</A>):</P> |
939 | |
940 <P><CODE><I># first number : wait this much after previous subtitle disappeared<BR> | |
941 # second number : display the current subtitle for this many seconds<BR> | |

2210 | 951 |
6960 | 952 <P>So you see, the main goal was to <B>make subtitle |
953 editing/timing/joining/cutting easy</B>. And, if you - say - get an SSA | |
954 subtitle but it's badly timed/delayed to your version of the movie, you | |
955 simply do a <CODE>mplayer dummy.avi -sub source.ssa -dumpmpsub</CODE>. | |
956 A <CODE>dump.mpsub</CODE> file will be created in the current directory, | |
957 which will contain the source subtitle's text, but in <B>MPsub</B> format. | |
958 Then you can freely add/subtract seconds to/from the subtitle.</P> | |
959 | |
960 <P>Subtitles are displayed with a technique called <B>'OSD', On Screen | |
961 Display</B>. OSD is used to display current time, volume bar, seek bar | |
962 etc.</P> | |

1131 <H3><A NAME="tv_tips">2.4.2 Usage tips</A></H3> |
7955 | 1132 |
1133 The full listing of the options is available on the manual page. Here | |
1134 are just a few tips: | |
1135 | |
1136 <UL> | |
8704 | 1137 <LI>Use the <CODE>channels</CODE> option. An example:<BR> |
1138 <CODE>-tv on:channels=26-MTV1,23-TV2</CODE><BR> | |
1139 Explanation: using this option, only the 26 and 23 channels will be usable, | |
1140 and there will be a nice OSD text upon channel switching, displaying the | |
1141 channel's name. Spaces in the channel name must be replaced by the "_" | |
1142 character.</LI> | |
8095 | 1143 <LI>Choose some sane image dimensions. The dimensions of the resulting image |
1144 should be divisible by 16.</LI> | |
1145 <LI>If you capture the video with the vertical resolution higher than half of | |
1146 the full resolution (i.e. 288 for PAL or 240 for NTSC), make sure you | |
1147 turned deinterlacing on. Otherwise you'll get a movie which is distorted | |
1148 during fast-motion scenes and the bitrate controller will be probably even | |
1149 unable to retain the specified bitrate as the interlacing artifacts produce | |
1150 high amount of detail and thus consume lot of bandwidth. You can enable | |
1151 deinterlacing with <CODE>-vop pp=DEINT_TYPE</CODE>. Usually | |
1152 <CODE>pp=lb</CODE> does a good job, but it can be matter of personal | |
1153 preference. See other deinterlacing algorithms in the manual and give it a | |
1154 try.</LI> | |
1155 <LI>Crop out the dead space. When you capture the video, the areas at the | |
1156 edges are usually black or contain some noise. These again consume lots of | |
1157 unnecessary bandwidth. More precisely it's not the black areas themselves | |
1158 but the sharp transitions between the black and the brighter video image | |
1159 which do but that's not important for now. Before you start capturing, | |
1160 adjust the arguments of the <CODE>crop</CODE> option so that all the crap | |
1161 at the margins is cropped out. Again, don't forget to keep the resulting | |
1162 dimensions sane.</LI> | |
1163 <LI>Watch out for CPU load. It shouldn't cross the 90% boundary for most of | |
1164 the time. If you have a large capture buffer, MEncoder can survive an | |
1165 overload for few seconds but nothing more. It's better to turn off the 3D | |
1166 OpenGL screensavers and similar stuff.</LI> | |
1167 <LI>Don't mess with the system clock. MEncoder uses the system clock for | |
1168 doing A/V sync. If you adjust the system clock (especially backwards in | |
1169 time), MEncoder gets confused and you will lose frames. This is an | |
1170 important issue if you are hooked to a network and run some time | |
1171 synchronization software like NTP. You have to turn NTP off during the | |
1172 capture process if you want to capture reliably.</LI> | |
1173 <LI>Don't change the <CODE>outfmt</CODE> unless you know what you are doing | |
1174 or your card/driver really doesn't support the default (YV12 colorspace). | |
1175 In the older versions of MPlayer/MEncoder it was necessary to specify the | |
1176 output format. This issue should be fixed in the current releases and | |
1177 <CODE>outfmt</CODE> isn't required anymore, and the default suits the most | |
1178 purposes. For example, if you are capturing into DivX using libavcodec and | |
1179 specify <CODE>outfmt=RGB24</CODE> in order to increase the quality of the | |
1180 captured images, the captured image will be actually later converted back | |
1181 into YV12 so the only thing you achieve is a massive waste of CPU power. | |
1182 </LI> | |
1183 <LI>To specify the I420 colorspace (<CODE>outfmt=i420</CODE>), you have to | |
1184 add an option <CODE>-vc rawi420</CODE> due to a fourcc conflict with an | |
1185 Intel Indeo video codec.</LI> | |
1186 <LI>There are several ways of capturing audio. You can grab the sound either | |
1187 using your soundcard via an external cable connection between video card | |
1188 and line-in, or using the built-in ADC in the bt878 chip. In the latter | |
1189 case, you have to load the <b>btaudio</b> driver. Read the | |
1190 <CODE>linux/Documentation/sound/btaudio</CODE> file (in the kernel tree, | |
1191 not MPlayer's) for some instructions on using this driver.</LI> | |
1192 <LI>If MEncoder cannot open the audio device, make sure that it is really | |
1193 available. There can be some trouble with the sound servers like arts | |
1194 (KDE) or esd (GNOME). If you have a full duplex soundcard (almost any | |
1195 decent card supports it today), and you are using KDE, try to check the | |
1196 "full duplex" option in the sound server preference menu.</LI> | |

1209 A more sophisticated example. This makes MEncoder capture the full | |
1210 PAL image, crop the margins, and deinterlace the picture using | |
1211 a linear blend algorithm. Audio is compressed with a constant | |
1212 bitrate of 64kbps, using LAME codec. This setup is suitable for | |

1221 This will additionally rescale the image to 384x288 and compresses | |
1222 the video with the bitrate of 350kbps in high quality mode. The | |
1223 vqmax option looses the quantizer and allows the video compressor to | |
1224 actualy reach so low bitrate even at the expense of the | |
1225 quality. This can be used for capturing long TV series, where the | |
1226 video quality isn't so important.<BR> | |

1234 It's also possible to specify smaller image dimensions in the | |
1235 <CODE>-tv</CODE> option and omit the software scaling but this | |
1236 approach uses the maximum available information and is a little more | |
1237 resistant to noise. The bt8x8 chips can do the pixel averaging only | |
8095 | 1238 in the horizontal direction due to a hardware limitation.</P> |

1968 General audio delay or jerky sound (exists with all or many files): |
1748 | 1969 <UL> |
6974 | 1970 <LI>most common: buggy audio driver! - try to use different drivers, try |
1971 ALSA 0.9 OSS emulation with -ao oss, also try -ao sdl, sometimes it helps. | |
1972 If your file plays fine with -nosound, then you can be sure it's sound card | |
1973 (driver) problem.</LI> | |
1974 <LI>audio buffer problems (buffer size badly detected)<BR> | |
1975 Workaround: mplayer -abs option</LI> | |
1976 <LI>samplerate problems - maybe your card doesn't support the samplerate | |
1977 used in your files - try the resampling plugin (-aop)</LI> | |
1978 <LI>slow machine (CPU or VGA)<BR> | |
1979 try with -vo null, if it plays well, then you have slow VGA card/driver<BR> | |
1980 Workaround: buy a faster card or read this documentation about how to speed up<BR> | |
1981 Also try -framedrop</LI> | |

1997 <LI>your sound card doesn't support 48kHz playback<BR> | |
1998 Workaround: buy a better sound card... or try to decrease fps by 10% (use | |
