Is this off topic, too specific, not enough info or what.  Looking for
some guidance here.

Also, where is a working searchable archive of this list?  the link at
the bottom of the list messages does not seem to work.

I see that looking at my post I neglected to post the command line I am
using:

mplayer -framedrop -slave  -quiet -vo sdl -fs  $f1 </dev/null

I needed the framedrop to get the video to keep up with the audio.

TIA
