Howev= er,=20 when it reaches the location where I would expect it, mplayer displays a=20 message that your computer is to slow to play this file.

I tried to play it on another (older) DVD player and it played the first = 4=20 minutes just fine. Then it just stopped. I built a P4/Win98SE system th= is=20 morning and installed PowerDVD XP and it played the first ten minutes wit= hout=20 any drop outs or stopping. Of course under Windows no real way to see an= y=20 error messages or other problems. > > You might try doing a 'cvs update' on the mjpegtools and ./autoge= n.sh > again (which should sail thru without trouble now that you've don= e it > once successfully) - I saw some changes come thru in the last day= or > so in mplex. I maybe able to try updating from the CVS tonight and rebuilding late ton= ight. =20 When I got the CVS built this time I had to go back and start over from t= he=20 beginning. It didn't like the files created from the 1.6.1 version. But= I=20 shouldn't that problem this time. I should be able to just multiplex it = and=20 reauthor it. Side note, the problem with dvdauthor and xml2 error message was I had bu= ilt=20 it and installed for dvdauthor prior to mjpegtools. But I forgot to set = the=20 --prefix on configuring libxml2. So I had to locate and delete the old=20 libxml2 libs. It would be nice if the configure script could locate curr= ent=20 installations and then configure for it unless directed otherwise. Proba= bly=20 solve a lot of build and execute problems. Thank you for your assistance once again, James |
