[MPlayer-dev-eng] mplayer fails to play avi-file

[Svante Signell]

Hello,

After trying various ways to play a non-interlaced .avi file I'm
turning to this mailinglist. All efforts using mplayer fails :(. Xine
succeeds but only barely, vidix performs best.

I have tried with mplayer-0.90pre8-{0.0,0.1,0.2} and CVS from today
and yesterday, compiled with gcc-2.95.4 and gcc-3.2.1. The tries have
been on three different boxes, one PII 400MHz box w. SCSI cdrom AND
Mach64 graphics, an PIII 1GHz, box w DVD-ROM (24xCDROM) and Radeon
Mobility M6 and an PII 2x450MHz box w DVD-ROM (24xCDROM) and MGA
G400. For the IDE CDROM's DMA is enabled. Best results so far have been
on the slowest box w the SCSI CDROM.

After a while the audio/video playback gets out of sync, especially
when stepping into the file with <Page Up> and the slow warning is
displayed. The seek on the CDROM seems to move back and forth, and
once the oscillation starts it remains.

Video drivers tested are: Xv, X11, xvidix (still a pink screen on the Radeon Mobility)
Audio drivers: oss, alsa9, (and nosound). I have tried various switches, such as
-nocache, -framedrop, -hardframedrop, -nobps etc, all resulting in a
non-viewable movie.

Note: No problems have been found playing other avi files, mpg files, VCD's or DVD's.

More detailed info below (CVS compile with mmx2 and gcc-3.2.1):
