[MPlayer-users] Too many bytes in buffer (DVD)

I have (kinda) solved my problem, might help others...

When sufferring messages like:
DEMUXER: Too many (4096 in 8218715 bytes) video packets in the buffer!
(maybe you play a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed)?
For .AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with option -ni

I find if I -sb xxxx and skip a meg or 2 into the file, the dodgy stuff gets 
bypassed (I haven't watched the whole flick yet, so I dunno if it is perfect) 
and mplayer handles sound OK. 

Still, be nice to see a fix. If any developer wants to borrow the DVD in 
question to test (Jackie Chan Thunderbolt) I can arrange it.

Cheers,
