PROBLEM: no framedropping with -vo vesa output in version > 0.90pre5.
BRIEFLY: 'mplayer -vo vesa -framedrop mymovie.avi' does not seem to drop frames in versions above 0.90pre5
I'm probably one of the few users that relies on the framedropping feature of MPlayer.
I have a P200MMX and as of MPlayer-0.90pre5 have been enjoying many fullscreen DIVX movies using your speedy vesa output with -framedrop enabled. With 0.90pre5, playback is excellent when on-screen movement is reasonlable and when on-screen movement is excessive -framedrop keeps the audio and video in sync by dropping frames.
When playing movies from the command line using the vesa output mode for 0.90pre6 to 0.90rc1 and the -framedrop flag, framedropping does not seem to happen causing large A/V sync problems very quickly. The video crawls along frame by frame and the audio takes off at normal speed. The flag -hardframedrop produces the same result only with major image distortion. I should note that using the -vo xv output mode, framedropping behaves as it should, but the speeds of playing video in X (for me) are not acceptable.
I have therefore been forced to keep version 0.90pre5 on my machine when I would love to have the latest, greatest build.
Thank you for reading my request.
