BUT ONLY A/V SYNC PROBLEM IN X SERVER (NOT IN PURE CONSOLE). mplayer-OPre1 SuSE-8.2 AMD-Athlon2000 Video (integrated): SIS 650/651/M650/750 PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter Sound: Ensoniq 5880 Audio PCI Thus I have 1-2 seconds image delay when I encode from a DVD (not from TV signal). Same image delay when I read directly the DVD with mplayer. I spent about 2 weeks to try to solve the problem. No obvious indication to solve my problem in the Web, in the mailing-lists or in the manual. Thus: mencoder dvd://1 -mc 0 -noskip -skiplimit 0 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=1500 -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=128:vol=5 -o temp.avi To my surprise, I have no image delay (1-2 seconds) if I read the file in pure console mode but well an image delay if I read it in an X environment (KDE or Blackbox or WindowMaker). No delay in a Windows XP environment too. Thus there is problem only in an X-environment. Has anybody encounter that kind of problem just to know if it can be solved. I have absolutely no a/v sync problem when I encode from a TV signal (with a TV Card). Thus it is only a DVD <-> mplayer <-> X problem. Any suggestion is welcome. -- Alain Barthélemy cassandre@bartydeux.be http://bartydeux.be Linux User #315631
