Some people seem to miss out on humor. The point was that I was
suggesting that's what Dominik was doing. ;)

at least pre6 doesnt unfortunately warn me about that. I just tried ~1h 
dvd with 1600kbps without -ofps (29.xxx was taken) and I got a loooooong 
banana (almost 2GB with 128kbps audio) which is kindof weird. But at 
least sunc problems are gone, I left out -noskip as you guys advised. I 
am just encoding again with forcing 23.x and praying this time it will 
finally be fine (_sigh_)

*

And I am aware of legal stuff ;) but 1) come on! 2) lots of my encodings 
are for backups (quite rare stuff) and convinience/storage/playback. I 
really dont like dvd's at all (they suxx just like cd's) - artificially 
pumped up to useless size; also one stupid scratch and you can throw it 
away.

Therefore thank you, MPlayer developers :)

By warn, I mean all the duplicate/skipped frame messages that spam
your console. You should get very few (or better yet none) of those of
your -ofps is right.

> And I am aware of legal stuff ;) but 1) come on! 2) lots of my encodings 

I didn't say anything about legal stuff.

yes, you are right. with 24.xx I get now much much less (still quite a 
bit, though)

Re: An Error about the critical section

i don't think, i know.
understand how does it work, and then you'll see the trick.
and yes, i'm 1000% sure it doesn't need locking, it was the primary
design goal i my mind. no need to locking -> no locking -> no deadlocks :)

the 'lockup' with too small cache size happens as there is not enough free
buffer to read more but there is not enough data to read at all, so it
enters an endless loop. it has nothing with locking, it happens in the same
process. anyway unless you mess with the code, it will never happen.
it could be fixed, but it doesn't worth, <64k cache is just useless.

Real Helix release any help?

[Automatic answer: RTFM (read DOCS, FAQ), also read DOCS/bugreports.html]
Hi,

Would that source realase made late last month of RealNetworks' media
player help the MPlayer developers with support of their codecs? I read
that there were certain parts that were binary only, which is probably
anything codec related, but I just thought people on this list might have
more of an idea of what's going on.

Non-Native GNU Assembler

[Automatic answer: RTFM (read DOCS, FAQ), also read DOCS/bugreports.html]
How would one go about making/getting the "non-native" version of gas 
that's needed in the first compile step for OpenBSD?

The documentation states (section 6.2.2):
Due to limitations in different versions of gas (relocation vs MMX), 
you will need to compile in two steps: First make sure that the 
non-native as is first in your $PATH and do a gmake -k, then make sure 
that the native version is used and do gmake.

thanks

Odd bugs that allways appears on cvs versions.

so it can't use odivx that is avail? and why dosn't say that it FAILED
to open the/any codec?

And i haven't found this in any documentation... I have talked to users
who claim that cvs works on everything. The main complaint that i have
actually recived is that i have the gui enabled by default.

I apparently played WMA files without ffmpeg today then, which is odd.

Etc.

Btw, i'm not on this ml, so CC.. (forgot that before)

Perhaps the README?!? If you're using cvs you have to follow the
instructions and get libavcodec from cvs too!

[Automatic answer: RTFM (read DOCS, FAQ), also read DOCS/bugreports.html]
is there a way to both listen to a internet audio stream and dump it to the 
harddrive at the same time?

thanks!
