As I said elsewhere, what you need at compile time is not the .so file
but the .a file - in this case, libXext.a.

Also, at least on these mailing lists but preferably as a general rule,
please do not top-post; it's a bad idea. If you don't know what it is,
remember that Google is your friend.

Mplayer slow acting


I'm having a problem with Mplayer and the tv card.
Everything plays fine but it loads really slow on startup and when I
try to change channels that is very slow also. If I try to change 
through several channels at a time it will hang up for up to a minute
before it gets through the channels.  I had it working very well on a
much slower computer but on my newer computer it is really slow
acting. Here's the specifics:

AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+
nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7600 GS]
Philips Semiconductors SAA7133/SAA7135 Video Broadcast Decoder
Linux version 2.6.21.5-smp
MemTotal:      2069424 kB

Any help appreciated

Thanks

The Wanderer,

Sorry for the top-post, I personally find it easier, but that's just 
me.  I could be weird.  Anyway, thanks for the help.  Knowing the 
library name helped me find the correct package out of the hundreds that 
Fedora supplies.

Now it's on to compiling.

Thanks again.

Mike

I have a script to copy an image x times so in your case I use 100 
copies of each image and use fps=10

Re: video runs too fast when convert rmvb to yuv4mpeg

I am really sorry to use the non-English name.
(I forgot to change the name in gmail)

I have discovered that the problem is mplayer think
my video is 23fps but actually it is about 15fps.

I tried this command:
 mplayer anime.rmvb -vo yuv4mpeg:file=anime.yuv -nosound
 -noframedrop -quiet -identify -fps 15
and the result seems more similar to original.

How can I get the correct framerate?

Thanks

Problems with pausing_keep

Hi all,

I searched the web and couldn't find the answer I want so I signed up to
this list. I've created a wrapper around mplayer in slave mode and I'm
probing mplayer for the current position once per second. The problem is
everytime I use the get_time_pos command the player unpauses if it was
paused. I found the solution was to prefix pausing_keep before the
command. This sort of works... except the player sneaks forward a single
frame now on every probe... which isn't really pausing. Short of hacking
the C code myself (which I will do if I have to), is there a way around
this feature? On a side question -- if anyone happens to know -- what is
the rationale for unpausing in the first place? Couldn't there be a
command-line flag to throttle the feature completely?

Cheers,
Rob.

decryption speed problem

Hi all,

I'm having a problem (I believe) with the decryption and/or DVD drive read speed with mencoder.

Is it possible to decrypt and/or transcode faster than real time (i.e. faster than 1x drive speed)?

I noticed the problem when trying to transcode directly from DVD to x264 but have the same problem with a
simple dumpfile dumpstream with mplayer.

This is definitely an I/O limitation and not a CPU limitation.  Other programs (including some that use
mencoder) can accomplish this much faster than real time.  When using those programs my cpu (both cores)
are maxed out but with mencoder it is only using ~ 30%.

I would just use an already existing program, but I'm trying to use this as a learning experience for video
transcoding, mencoder and the x264 codec.

Pertinent info:

core 2 duo  <at>  2.13GHz, 2 gigs RAM, XP SP 2.

Here is my mencoder command:

"C:\Program Files\mencoder\mencoder.exe"  dvd://1 -dvd-device D: -sws 9 -of lavf -lavfopts
format=ipod -vf scale=480:-2,dsize=480:320:0,harddup -ovc x264 -x264encopts

-oac faac -aid 128 -faacopts mpeg=4:object=2:br=160:raw -channels 2 -srate 48000 -o "C:\Program
