[MPlayer-users] -noskip causes: Too many audio packets in the buffer: (4096 in 8257536bytes)

[Gianluca Interlandi]

Hi Corey,

Thanks a lot for you reply. I tried to replace '-noskip' with '-ofps 
24000/1001' and mencoder rips the whole movie. However, the audio and 
video are not syncronyzed, i.e. the audio is slower than the video.

Thanks,

Gianluca
