[MPlayer-users] playback -dumpaudio

[Aravind Ceyardass]

I tried dumping it in wave format. Nothing seems to happen for about 15
minutes.  The file
size of the pcm file doesn't grows at all. Then i thought of dumping it
as raw stream and
play it back.  The url in question is http://www.icinema.com where you
can watch international
movies for free. 

Another question How do I select a particular bit rate while playing asf
files? Is it -vid. I tried using
this again mplayer seems to hang for a long time but no video or audio.

Spent lot of time reading the man pages. More examples would be helpful.

thanks

Aravind
