[MPlayer-users] Ugly Subtitles on TV with H+ and Mplayer

[Fam. de Rijck]

Tried:
mplayer -speed 25:24 -vop expand=0:0:0:0:1 -vo dxr3:prebuf:sync
And it works, the only drawback I found is that the moment I start the
movie with the GUI interface, I can't use it anymore. So I must use keys
to navigate. Is this normal?

Must be broken mishandled strides somewhere... :(

It's about 25-50% faster, at least for me.
