34 Note: the DVB card only supports height 288 and 576 for PAL,
35 240 and 480 for NTSC. For other heights, you MUST rescale it,
36 by adding 'scale=w:h' to the -vop option, where w:h are width:height
37 you want. Note, that DVB card accepts various widths, like 720, 704, 640,
38 512, 480, 352 etc, so you don't need to scale horizontally in most cases!
39 (the card will do hardware scaling in horizontal direction!)
40 For example, for a 512x384 (aspect 4:3) divx try:
41 mplayer -ao mpegpes -vo mpegpes -vop lavc,scale=512:576
35 42
36 To play divx files: 43 If you have widescreen movie, and you don't want to scale it to full
44 height, you can use the 'expand=w:h' plugin to add black bands.
45 For example, to view a 640x384 divx, try:
46 mplayer -ao mpegpes -vo mpegpes -vop lavc,expand=640:576 file.avi
37 47
38 mplayer -ao mpegpes -vo mpegpes file.avi|asf|mov... 48 If you have slow cpu to view 720x576 divx in full size, try to downscale:
39 49 mplayer -ao mpegpes -vo mpegpes -vop lavc,scale=352:576 file.avi
40 To play non-25fps movies, or with slow CPU, add option: -framedrop 50 Or if still slow, try to downscale vertically too:
51 mplayer -ao mpegpes -vo mpegpes -vop lavc,scale=352:288 file.avi
41 52
42 Image size: 53 Do you want osd, and subtitles? Use the expand plugin's osd feature!
43 ~~~~~~~~~~~ 54 So, instead of expand=w:h or expand=w:h:x:y, use expand=w:h:x:y:1
44 DVB card allows only 2 vertical resolutions: 288 and 576. 55 (the 5th parameter :1 at the end will enable osd rendering)
45 If your video height differs, you have to clip it or extend by adding 56 You may want to move image up a bit to get bigger black zone for subtitles.
46 black bands. It's done by mplayer, just specify image size using the 57 And you may want to move subtitles up, if they're out of your TV screen,
47 -x and -y options. You must use either -y 288 or -y 576. 58 use the -subpos <0-100> switch (-subpos 80 is perfect for me).
48 59
49 To force pan&scan (16:9 at 4:3 TV), add options: -x 352 -y 288 60 To play non-25fps movies on PAL TV, or with slow CPU, add option: -framedrop
50
51 If you have powerfull CPU, you can also scale image up, using the
52 swscale filter. For example, to watch a 640x288 video fullscreen,
53 use -vop scale=640:400
54 Note that you don't have to scale horizontally, the card will do it
55 by hardware, but you have to scale vertically keeping the aspect ratio.
