MPlayer often has synch problems with Real-encoded films I am not using MPlayer and I'm not sure what Real-encoded refers to.

The files-types I've tried inlcude: mp3, mp3, mpg, avi, wmf, mpe, and others. I have tried as many as I can, but they all have the audio playing about 0.5 - 1 sec after the video. Ivan
Try playing them as root.. Ive seen messages about being unable to play sound or video in 'realtime' unless you have root access to the hardware.. Worth a try.. But something to do with software rendering and unable to use hardware features unless root access to the hardware? -----Original Message----- From: Ivan Potgieter [mailto:tealsky(a)bigfoot.com] Sent: Monday, 7 November 2005 6:31 p.m. To: wlug Subject: [wlug] Totem Music Player Aristotle Pagaltzis wrote:

That message you see about "permission denied" might be mplayer trying to adjust the 'real time clock' so it can get interrupts on a microsecond basis instead of a millisecond basis, or something :) I added echo 2048 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq into one of my system startup scripts. I think the default maximum frequency is 1024, and mplayer wants a higher frequency and isn't allowed to change it past that. Of course, maybe you were seeing a completely different error message to me.... John
Nah, I probably see the same error.. Doesn't seem to make any difference though The biggest problem I have is when exiting video playback on my mythtv machine it takes like 2 or 3 seconds of looping audio buffers.. Its annoying.. But I still havent been annoyed enough to work out why and how to fix it. -----Original Message----- From: John R.
