Mplayer problems
I'm having trouble with the debian-multimedia version of Mplayer, and
I'm trying to send a message into the mplayer.user list, I sent the
message below on Friday but it hasn't appeared yet (Monday) so I
wondered if anyone here either knew of the solution to my problem or why
my post hasn't appeared yet?
Thanks for your time.
Bug Report, Mplayer dev-SVN-rUNKNOWN-4.1.2
Hi, first a big thank you to the developers for the time they spend on
this kick ass multimedia swiss army knife. I'm running stock Debian
Etch with a few packages, including mplayer, from
www.debian-multimedia.org look down \/ there for a lot more info.
When I make a matroska file that contains H.264 video with non square
pixels, anamorphic or otherwise, it displays correctly with stock etch
mplayer and totem but not with the SVN version of mplayer indicated
above. I think the pixel aspect ratio is stored both within the video
stream itself [0] and in the Matroska header data. [1]
with the Stock version MPlayer 1.0rc1-4.1.2-DFSG-free I get
Movie-Aspect is 1.84:1 - prescaling to correct movie aspect.
VO: [xv] 720x464 => 854x464 Planar YV12
with the SVN version MPlayer dev-SVN-rUNKNOWN-4.1.2 I get
Movie-Aspect is undefined - no prescaling applied.
VO: [xv] 720x464 => 720x464 Planar YV12
I can work around the problem with the aspect of dsize options but it
used to be automatic.

I didn't build mplayer so other info like gcc is at the bottom [2]
The DeskTop Environment is Gnome and the Window Manager is metacity
bob@desktop-etch-01:~$ lspci | grep VGA

I'm running the xorg radeon driver and I call mplayer like
gmplayer -vf-clr -vf noise=9ah:5ah,pp=ci/al:f/ac
and my vo=xv
If this is the wrong place to send this I apologize
Thanks for your help.
[0] the raw video is created with a command like
mencoder ${tmp_dir}movie${title_no}.vob -aid ${aid_1st} -vf
pullup,softskip,crop=${crop_amnt},harddup \
-of rawvideo -ofps ${vid_fps} -oac copy -ovc x264 -x264encopts \
subq=1:crf=16:8x8dct:frameref=1:bframes=16:b_bias=25:b_pyramid:weight_b:partitions=all:mixed_refs:brdo:bime:trellis=2:nr=1000
\
-o ${out_file}.264
If I play the raw 264 file or the intermediate .mp4 the video prescaling
works correctly
[1] I create the mkv file like this
mkvmerge -v --title "${movie_title}" -o ${tmp_dir}/${movie_title}.mkv \
${tmp_dir}${movie_title}audio${aid_1st}.ac3 \
--chapters ${tmp_dir}${movie_title}chapters${title_no}.txt \
${tmp_dir}movie${title_no}.mp4
if I use mkvinfo I get the following output
