[MPlayer-users] My question of the hour, does anyone know source inside out?

I am working on merging the this feature into the RC2 build out there... unless
I am mistaken, -idle is not part of RC2, or no?  This is the command I am
issuing.... it doesn't seem to reject -idle, however, the Window that spawns
the rendered video still closes upon completion of the video playing.

This is the command I am using from DOS prompt:

mplayer myvideo.avi -idle

That is correct right? :-)

Could you elaborate on this?  I understand construction of batch files, but
unclear on what you mean by this pause, or how to invoke cmd.exe directly.
Could you show an example? :-)
