Is this off topic, too specific, not enough info or what. Looking for
some guidance here.
Also, where is a working searchable archive of this list? the link at
the bottom of the list messages does not seem to work.
I see that looking at my post I neglected to post the command line I am
using:
mplayer -framedrop -slave -quiet -vo sdl -fs $f1 </dev/null
I needed the framedrop to get the video to keep up with the audio.
TIA
