comparison DOCS/formats.html @ 7787:05e518badc1b

doc fixes part 1 (more will come when i find the time to read the rest) if anything is not ok, please let me know documentation.html: * OGG -> OGG/OGM (both file formats are supported) * somewhat better wording (no real change of meaning) * update of the current xf86 version from 4.2.0 to 4.2.1 * mga_vid is not old * partial sync of the options with the manpage (someone with deeper knwoledge should check them and finish the sync) * added 2 links about quoting and correct writing of mails to the mailinglists formats.html: * fixing typo interleaved -> non-interleaved (at least i think it's a typo please someone check it) * non-interleaved AVIs should be played with -ni * OGG -> OGG/OGM

<P>There are two kinds of AVI files:</P>
<UL>
  <LI><B>Interleaved:</B> Audio and video content is interleaved. This is the
    standard usage. Recommended and mostly used. Some tools create interleaved
    AVIs with bad sync. <B>MPlayer</B> detects these as interleaved, and this
    climaxes in loss of A/V sync, probably at seeking. These files should be
    played as non-interleaved (with the <CODE>-ni</CODE> option).</LI>
  <LI><B>Non-interleaved:</B> First comes the whole video stream, then the whole
    audio stream. It thus needs a lot of seeking, making playing from network or
    CD-Rom difficult.</LI>
</UL>

<P><B>MPlayer</B> supports two kinds of timings for AVI files:</P>
<UL>
  <LI><B>bps-based</B>: It is based on the bitrate/samplerate of the video/audio stream. This

<P>RoQ files are multimedia files used in some ID games such as Quake III and
  Return to Castle Wolfenstein.</P>


<H4><A NAME="ogg">2.1.1.12 OGG files</A></H4>

<P>This is a new file format from <A HREF="http://www.xiph.org">Xiphophorus</A>.
  It can contain any video or audio codec, CBR or VBR. You will need to
  have <CODE>libogg</CODE> and <CODE>libvorbis</CODE> installed
  before compiling <B>MPlayer</B> to be able to play it.</P>
