[vlc] (New) Stream output: Module "Display" Where is the problem?

Hello, friends.

On Sunday, May 30, 2004 7:01 PM, I wrote the following lines:

I have been doing more tests, and now I think that it *not* depends on the bit rate of the movie, because I have tried it with new movies which had low and medium bit rates, and I got the same results, with similar debug messages. 

Now I think it depends on the encoding. It only happens when I play MPEG-1 / MPEG-2 files, or when I play DVDs.

I have tried it on versions 0.7.0, 0.7.1 and 0.7.2. And I always get the same results.


If any of you want to see this problem in action, you can try it with a DVD:

    vlc dvd:/dev/dvd --sout '#display'


Thanks a lot
