[MPlayer-users] Playing AVI files created from matlab.

[Mike Carr]

k, no worries. I really don't know what I'm talking about :)

I was thinking that perhaps the audio part of the AVI was fubared, that
mplayer was trying to load the AVI, hitting the lack of audio and
getting confused and bombing (rather than just dropping the sound and
leaving the video). The only message that appears to come from within
the AVI "module" (I really don't know what I'm talking about ;) is a
message about invalid audio, so in the absence of anything else this is
what I latched onto.

I was going to suggest turning the audio off with -ao null, but I
suppose the problem is in how the AVI is interpreted so disabling sound
probably wouldn't help anyways.

I'll go back to lurking ;) Sorry I couldn't help,
