[MPlayer-users] Suspicious mga behavior, don't know how to blame and it kills me =)

[joy_ping]

hi,

im not sure but maybe the black and white thing has to do with ntsc/pal
settings, i had the same probs while using real-producer and not setting a
variable to pal if the vid-input comes from a pal source.
your project seems to be very interesting, im belonging also to a student
group who will install a local (inhouse) tv-station witch is connected to the net. maybe you can send me more information about your
project.

regards

joy
