[MPlayer-users] .ogm aspect ratio

[Miles Nordin]

I'm using

 MPlayer 1.0pre5-3.3.2 (C) 2000-2004 MPlayer Team

I've made a DVD into an .avi, then used ogmmerge to make it into an
.ogm.  I have two problems with the .ogm:

 * the .ogm includes an srt subtitle ``text stream'' that mplayer
   seems to ignore.  I expected I'd be able to control it with j and v
   key bindings, but I can't.  I have to keep the separate .srt file
   around.

   Am I missing something?

 * the .avi contains aspect ratio information about nonsquare pixels.
   When encoding the DVD I have only cropped, not resized.  This
   information is in the .avi, but doesn't seem to be present or
   doesn't seem to be decoded in the .ogm, so the .avi plays with the
   same shape as the original DVD, but the .ogm is stretched.

   Is there some OGM property I can set, or other procedure I can go
   through, to make the .ogm scale during playback to have the correct
   aspect ratio?

Here is a script that documents my encoding commands:
