[MPlayer-users] Too many video packets in the buffer

[Geoffrey Leach]

I'm playing MP2 recorded (HD HomeRun) OTA. A minute-or-so into the 
playback, audo breaks up and mplayer says:

Too many video packets in the buffer: (1211 in 33595148 bytes).
Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec 
failed?
For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.

% mplayer -mc 0 -autosync 30  -ao alsa -vo x11 1520_for_5.mp2

Full log is attached. System is running Intel Core 2 at 3GHz, with 2G 
of DDR2-800.

-mc 0 -autosync 30 is intended to reduce the time that audio leads 
video. It's made it tolerable, but not perfect.

I'd appreciate suggestions.
