How do you get the audio and video to sync? I'm finding that with the 770 video plyer it's way out and with mplayer for the 770 just a little out. I'm using wmv files. Is there a setting in the interface for this?

Try uninstalling, deleting the folder (in Program Files or wherever you put it), reboot, reinstall. Solved it for me, Karel.

You can alter the config file of MPlayer, so that the "up" and "down" keys on your 770 can be used to adjust audio delay, and make it sync perfectly. For information on the config file, check the MPlayer documentation on Maemo.org. To edit it, you need to become root and install an editor such as MidnightCommander (again, Maemo.org). There's additional information on all that in the gigantic MPlayer thread on this forum.

If you could send me one of the files, I can have a look at why they aren't converting.

Divx files should work just fine. At least on any other platform but osx PPC. I'm trying to get a better encoder for PPC version tomorrow.

What platform did you use?


Also, can you try installing the 1.2 final (not beta).

We should have how to config audio delay added to the mplayer wiki as it's pretty useful.

Seconded....

Ok, Tweak, Drewvt:

I'll add audio delay to the next version.

Have you noticed any repeating delay patterns? Or should I just add a single text field that you can input your audio delay?

After a few more tries (and after uninstalling and re-installing MC), I found out that it's the second pass that kills the Divx file: If I use only one conversion pass, it plays nicely, both on Windows media player and on the 770. Strangely enough, VOB files can withstand the second pass. This was all done with the final version 1.2 on Windows XP SP2 (sadly :o ).

I should add that I don't use mplayer on the 770, just the built in media player. I've never had any out-of-sync audio problems with it.

With most of my videos, the sound is 0.3 second ahead of the video in Mplayer. Always 0.3 second (note that the sync is perfect when I play these on the PC).

A single field would be useful in my case at least, but to be honest even I prefer the keys solution, it's so convenient.

Thanks, I think the audio delay text field would be useful for when using the 770 video player for the more out-of-the-box consumer type user -- it is after all in our interest to get this mainstream -- and the keys solution good for the 770 mplayer, for those who are happy playing around with betas.

Regarding MPlayer and audio delay problem. I myself don't have any video with such issues (converted to mpeg4+mp3 and stored in avi container) to experiment with. Audio output module which uses gstreamer is not quite reliable regarding audio/video sync and there seems to be quite troublesome (if even possible) to implement it in a correct way, but at least it is not so bad in its current form. So providing a link to some video sample with this problem at mplayer garage trackers may help to investigate it (well, I think, I'm asking this a third time already with no reaction, does it mean that people are not that much interested in a correct audio sync even without manually tweaking it? ;)).

As for audio delay settings for those who need it, thay can be added in OSD menu in the next version. Also I think about remapping '+'/'-' buttons to seek +-10 minutes instead of current audio volume control (volume can be changed from OSD menu even now).
