[MPlayer-users] HD Firewire Capture - Can Not Play with Mplayer

[Mike Smith]

Hi,

I've captured an MPEG2 stream from my cable box of an HDTV station and
I'm having touble playing it with Mplayer.

I'm using MPlayer 1.0rc2-4.1.2 on Fedora Core 8

I'm using the built-in VGA output on my mother board with the Intel 845G chipset connected
to a HDTV based on DLP.  The highest resolution of the DLP is 1280 x 720.

After a lot of experimentation with some mode line calculators,  I can up with the following
modeline for my xorg.conf file.

ModeLine "1208x675" 74.250 1208 1336 1384 1648 675 702 707 750 +hsync +vsync


I'm using the Intel drivers.  Specifically, it looks like the i915 drivers are being loaded.

This is the monitor section of xorg.conf

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier     "WD65732"
        HorizSync       15.0 - 68.0
        VertRefresh     59.0 - 61.0
    # TV fullscreen mode or DVD fullscreen output.
    # 768x576 @ 79 Hz, 50 kHz hsync
    VendorName     "Mitsubishi"
    ModelName      "DLP"
    DisplaySize     1143 642
    Option    "UseEdidDpi"  "FALSE"

    ModeLine "1208x675" 74.250 1208 1336 1384 1648 675 702 707 750 +hsync +vsync
    
EndSection

The TV shows 720P with this modeline.

Here is the Mplayer output below.  I also tried the hint about -vf spp,scale.  No help.
