i tried mplayer ao-esd dvd://1 -dvd-device /media/cdrecorder and basically it's worse. i found a slight work around: I haven't found a definitive solution, yet, but you can somewhat reduce the problem with some workarounds: 1) make sure you are using the last cvs huh? what is this? 2) use the RTC, not the soundcard clock ok how does one do this? 3) use -mc 0.1 do I type -mc 0.1? if so I guess I'll type $mplayer -mc 0.1 dvd://1 -dvd-device /media/cdrecorder 4) eventually slow down playback a little (unperceivable) bit with -speed 0.98 ok so now i type: $mplayer -speed 0.98 -mc 0.1 dvd://1 -dvd-device /media/cdrecorder 5) use a larger cache ( I use 8192) -i tried increasing the cache as far as it would go , no help. is that right? mike hoy mike hoy wrote: > pluggers, > > for the heck of it i tried running mplayer from command line and i > got a more detailed error: > > i seem to be getting 2 different errors one of them harmless and one a > bit more harmful to the playback of the dvd. > > mplayer dvd://2 > gives: > > A: 499.2 V: 489.4 A-V: 9.804 ct: 6.465 11975/11901 9% 11% 1.8% > 36 0 0% > *** libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in nav_read.c:202 *** > *** for dsi->dsi_gi.zero1 == 0 *** > > A: 499.5 V: 489.4 A-V: 10.100 ct: 6.469 11976/11902 9% 11% 1.8% > 37 0 0% > Too many video packets in the buffer: (4096 in 8275063 bytes). > Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed? > For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option. > a52: CRC check failed! > a52: error at resampling > > Too many video packets in the buffer: (4096 in 8275063 bytes). > Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed? > For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option. > A: 499.7 V: 500.1 A-V: -0.355 ct: 7.461 12232/12158 9% 11% 1.8% > 37 0 0% > *** libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in nav_read.c:202 *** > *** for dsi->dsi_gi.zero1 == 0 *** > > A: 499.7 V: 500.6 A-V: -0.905 ct: 7.407 12245/12171 9% 11% 1.8% > 37 0 0% > *** libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in nav_read.c:202 *** > *** for dsi->dsi_gi.zero1 == 0 *** > > A: 499.7 V: 501.1 A-V: -1.439 ct: 7.353 12258/12184 9% 11% 1.8% > 37 0 0% > *** libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in nav_read.c:202 *** > *** for dsi->dsi_gi.zero1 == 0 *** > > A: 499.7 V: 501.7 A-V: -1.990 ct: 7.299 12271/12197 9% 11% 1.8% > 37 0 0% > *** libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in nav_read.c:202 *** > *** for dsi->dsi_gi.zero1 == 0 *** > > A: 499.7 V: 502.2 A-V: -2.524 ct: 7.244 12284/12210 9% 11% 1.8% > 37 0 0% > *** libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in nav_read.c:202 *** > *** for dsi->dsi_gi.zero1 == 0 *** > > A: 499.7 V: 502.8 A-V: -3.074 ct: 7.190 12297/12223 9% 11% 1.7% > 37 0 0% > *** libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in nav_read.c:202 *** > *** for dsi->dsi_gi.zero1 == 0 *** > > A: 499.7 V: 502.9 A-V: -3.158 ct: 7.182 12299/12225 9% 11% 1.7% > 37 0 0% > ===== PAUSE ===== > > > BTW a lot of ppl want to know if dma is on so here is hdparm: > > [root@localhost mikeaz_laptop]# /sbin/hdparm /dev/hda > > /dev/hda: > multcount = 16 (on) > IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit) > unmaskirq = 0 (off) > using_dma = 1 (on) > keepsettings = 0 (off) > readonly = 0 (off) > readahead = 256 (on) > geometry = 65535/16/63, sectors = 60011642880, start = 0 > [root@localhost mikeaz_laptop]# > > > ok it says in the error message that I should try -ni for avi files. > So I tried it. > mplayer dvd://2 -ni and got the same error > > then i figured i typed it wrong: so tried > > mplayer -ni dvd://2 > > it played longer but still gave the same error > > Too Many Video Packets in the Buffer > > Any suggestions? > > mike hoy > System: compaq r3000 p4 > fedora core 3 > > > --------------------------------------------------- > PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us > To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: > http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss > > --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
