[MPlayer-users] Too many video packets in the buffer: (4096 in 8275651 bytes).

Dear fellow mplayer users,

I try to play a dvd and I can see it but sound is a bit off and is somehow playing slower, then I see the screen in the background with many of these plastered in the screen.  

Too many video packets in the buffer: (4096 in 8275651 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.

This is happening on included mplayer in Slax Linux Live CD which has worked great for me.  On my installed Fedora 9/Fedora 10/Fedora Rawhide svn compiled Mplayer, this does not happen.

root at slax:~# mplayer --version

I just want to know what this means, I know that I can recompile mplayer and install it on slax too, but I have not been able to configure it because subversion package is not present and I'll leave it as it is, but was wondering what could cause these errors.

TIA,

Antonio
