[MPlayer-dev-eng] [patch] dxr3: TV norm option

[Thomas Jarosch]

Hi!

Most TVs are capable of PAL and NTSC, so watching movies
with the frame rate they were initially encoded with
gives smooth playback without any need for framedrops.

It was pretty annoying to always look at the frame rate of a movie,
exit mplayer, call em8300setup with the norm corresponding
to the frame rate and then start mplayer again.

I wrote a small patch for the dxr3 output plugin
to (auto) set the TV norm (by movie frame rate).

This patch adds another option to -vo dxr3: "norm="

norm=5: Force NTSC
norm=4: Force PAL-60
norm=3: Force PAL

norm=2: Select PAL or PAL-60 based upon movie frame rate
norm=1: Select PAL or NTSC based upon movie frame rate

The patch applies against mplayer CVS/mplayer-v0.90rc1
and doesn't break any existing functionality by default.

cheers,
Thomas
