[MPlayer-users] MP4Box hinting broke mplayer playback

[Leif Lundstrom]

Thank you, yes this works, but only for MPlayer. I just recompiled mplayer, x264 and ffmpeg from svn, and am still getting the same effect in SMPlayer and vlc streaming.

Hope someone's seen this before. Happens, on average at about 14.22 minutes into video.

Thanks

Please retry with option "-demuxer lavf"

All your problems should magically go away then :-)
