It's an mplayer thing, well not just mplayer, but that's the default
player for avi files. Couple things. It doesn't have
support for large files configured by default:<br>
<br>
You need to enable support for large files and your glibc must support<br>
it.<br>
./configure --help<br>
--enable-largefiles enable support for files > 2 GBytes [disable]<br>
<br>
Second, i would search the mplayer mailing lists. I think you
also need to run the option -idx if you need to seek, that can take a
long time, so there is the -saveidx and -loadidx but i've never used
those. You might see a mplayer mailing where it didn't work for
me, xvid 2gb limit or something, back then i never got it working, but
i did at some point. Since my system crashed with my new
harddrive, i haven't gotten aroudn to "refixing" it yet, but i'm sure
it'll work for you. Also, are you transcoding into divx or
xvid? I think those are the only two options, i could be wrong,
anyways you might want to download the newest codecs, newest mplayer
source, and compile them. Just my thoughts on the subject.
Hope it works for you.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/14/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">jondz</b> <<a href="mailto:jondz@dca.net">jondz@dca.net</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Hi<br><br>I'm new(re-subscribed) to the list.<br><br>Has anybody encountered this before: I seem to<br>have a 2 gigabyte limit on avi files (transcoded<br>movies). When either the Internal player or the<br>mythcommflag reaches that they just hang. I know
<br>the files are fine because gnome totem plays<br>them movies fine to the end.<br><br>quick facts about my box:<br><br>1. it used to be debian STABLE (kernel 2.4).<br>2. I turned it into UNSTABLE, and upgraded to 2.6.<br>
3. I use XVID for transcoding.<br>4. I have compiled my own mythtv packages using<br> the debian mythtv versions.<br><br>Whereas I am perfectly happy right now sticking<br>with < 2 hour movies I will be grateful for somebody
<br>who points me in the right direction, thanks.<br><br>thanks for a great software!<br><br>jondz<br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">
