The problem is to do with how mplayer grabs video, versus audio for playing television. Mplayer grabs the video from the TV card and runs it through it's own layer before putting it on the screen, the audio, on the other hand, is passed through a cable from the TV card to your sound card (in most cases) and thus there is a delay, depending on the speed of your machine between the audio, and the video showing up the screen since the video must pass through mplayer first.

No. Our eyes benefit from being used. If eyes feel “tired” or “strained” they should be rested, but normal activity won’t harm vision.

First, try enabling the "Uses Wave Out Position For Timing" setting under Options | Audio | Advanced. If problems persist, disable the Wave Out setting and consult the chart available at /Docs/DMASettings.htm for the proper settings of your sound card. (Back to top)

If you are using a digital card, try selecting "Uses Wave Out Position for Timing" under Options | Audio | Advanced. Also, try using the different SMPTE/MTC sync options available here (High, Normal and Freewheel).

There have been numerous reports of "lip sync" problems, where the audio lags slightly behind the video. Perception of a sync problem is highly subjective--some people are bothered by it while others can't discern it at all. Problems have been reported on a variety of players (notably the Pioneer 414 and 717 models, possibly all Pioneer models, some Sony models including the 500 series, new Toshiba models including the 3109, and some PC decoder cards).

Make sure your computer meets the minimum requirements for the playback of a DivX™ file. Also try reducing the screen size to 800x600 or 640x480, and change color depth to 32bit.

I like to read, write, and think. I like to stay up all night contemplating life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

My PC is running Windows 98. I shut the PC down completely, but after a period of time, the computer restarts itself.

Not at all. Our eyes are meant to be used. Like other organs of the body, they benefit from exercise. Should our eyes become tired or "strained," they can be refreshed with a rest.

Yes. Although the MyACTV service enters your home through the same cable as your television signal, it operates independently. So go ahead. Check email, chat online with friends, or visit a Web site while watching your favorite shows.

No. Not on a regular basis. The classroom teacher can get approval for an occasional G-rated video viewing experience.

Yes, the rapid flickering of the screen can stimulate the brain and initiate an epileptic insult in sensitive people. For the same reason, fast flickering lights, like the ones used in discotheques, can trigger a seizure.

Experts say the typical mobile TV viewer is between the ages of 20 and 40 years old. About two-thirds of current viewers are male, said Dave Whetstone, chief marketing officer for MobiTV.

There are still more then a few countries around the world where Pay Per View (PPV) has not yet been established, and major sports & movies etc are televised across the Internet as an alternative for selective outlets. Broadcasts of some of the TV stations in these countries are available via video streams on the internet.

It can become annoying for the driver or other front seat passengers to listen to Barney for 8 hours en route to Disneyworld. The choices for audio are: Video speaker: some screens come with a smaller speaker in the housing similar to your home TV. Since the speaker is small, the audio is lower quality and listened to by all in the car. The speaker is typically on the back of the housing so the driver hears the speaker twice as loud as those watching the screen.

Updated players available in region 4. (1.5) Thanks Andrew! (Yes, I know the other regions are totally out of date.) Attributed GEAR DVD to GEAR Software. Moved MTC's ForDVD utility to the right place (was in 5.4). (5.2)

Flash SWF video has two framerates: a) a video framerate, which is the number of distinct video frames per second in your video, and b) a SWF framerate, which is the number of SWF frames in your final Flash video. These are not the same thing and you have to keep track of both - and how they relate to each other and to the source video framerate. Flash video is different in this way then standard video which has only a single video framerate. (Note: This does not apply to FLV video.

If the video plays back on your computer without problems then your best option is to re-encode the video and choose different video and audio bit-rates. See the FAQ on how to stop movies jerking.

Check the audio level on your computer by clicking on the Start button and going to Choose Settings, then Control Panel, then Sounds. Make sure the volume is turned up. Make sure that you can get sound from your PC. Your PC needs to be able to play .WAV files or .MP3 files. It is possible that the analog sound signal from your CD is hooked up correctly, but the digital PC sound is not. If your PC can make sound (play a .

If you answer yes to more than one of these questions, you are not getting enough quality sleep to meet your needs.

The show is called "Hyokkori Hyotanjima" (Popped-up Gourd Island). It was an immensely popular children's show at that time (1966). Several characters that appeared in the film were amazingly realistic. The theme song of the show was also very popular. We see Taeko getting over her disappointment, singing this song with the refrain "We don't want to cry, so let's laugh - Go ahead!" For other cultural aspects of this movie, see the script.

Please check "Sound System" set in "TV" menu, make sure you have selected "I". There is no sound output when you select "DK" or "BG". TV panel and tuner box couldn't be used separately. It is because tuner box would transmit signal to TV for turning on TV panel.

Watching live TV is of course possible, but it's always streamed through the hard disk in Best mode. This causes a noticeable quality degradation on several channels (although none at all on others, it's weird). This makes it possible to pause and rewind live TV.

For watching tv in linux using a tv-tuner card the most common way of getting the tv sound input is by using a short audio cable that connects on one end to the tv card and the other end to the line-in jack on a sound card. This way there is always audio data being pumped to the sound card's line-in. The most common problem is that the tv-tuner audio output is not connected correctly to the sound card input (usually line-in).

This is usually to do with the speed of the system used for encoding. Older and those machines with low RAM will have trouble encoding video and will often produce video that falls out of sync. The power of the playback machine is also a factor. The larger the viewable video area, the more resources required for seemless playback. You will need to weigh up the average system of your users with the size of the video that you provide, or look to offer multiple sizes.

Cinematize 2 now does active synchronization of the audio and video using timing information from the DVD. Both tracks will now start at exactly the right time and be exactly the same duration. This should take care of the overwhelming majority of cases. Certain difficult DVD discs may still cause trouble, however. Here are suggestions for some of the problems you might encounter: You may be selecting an NTSC video output codec when the movie is actually PAL, or vice versa.
