HI! in this clip Audio and Video desync and the framerate somehow drops in the beginning and at the end. it appears the first time at A,V: 7.0. a friend who send me this video doesn't experience this problem under Windows Media Player so i guess the video itself is intact. it's definately not a speed issue of my pc as it uses very few ressources here. i tried all the switches mentioned in TFM with no success. Have fun and stop cheating:D Andreas Streichardt mop@globalpark.de ------------------ mop@ath-1400:~$ mplayer -vo sdl cheaterlow.wmv -v MPlayer CVS-020316-06:00-2.95.4 (C) 2000-2002 Arpad Gereoffy (see DOCS!)
