I have various DVD's where the Timeslider and the skip forward/backward (via right/left keys) does not work correct.
The effect is as follows:
TimeSlider:
If I position the mouse over the slider, the hint shows the correct time. If I click in order to jump to this time, VLC adds between 30% and 50%. (e.g i click to jump to 5:00 Min => I end up jumping to minute 8:30)
The slider will then be in the correct location for this time => that is the slider is NOT at the position I clicked.
- So VLC can not convert the slider pos to a video location (except showing the right hint)
- Vlc can and does convert the video location to the correct slider time
Skip forward /backward: They both move the time forward in big steps. I am not sure about the exact pattern, but the further I am into the movie, the bigger the steps (e.g. trying to skip 30 secs forward, may skip a full minute, if the video was at pos 2:00 minutes, but trying to skip the same 30 secs forward will skip 15 minutes, if the video was 20:00 minutes)
- I have observed this with several Versions of VLC, including the latest (1.02).
- I have VLC only on Windows (32 but Vista), and I do not know if it is an OS related issue, or would happen on other OS too. (but I have no indication that it would be OS related)
- I have found an other time-slider issue here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=61849&p=211003
But that seems to be different, since it relates to files with unknown length (len indicator = "--/--"). The Videos I have show the correct length.
Before someone asks: No I do not thing I can upload them, since it is full DVDs
As for examples, (all DVD are the UK version). There are various Japanese anime DVD (other anime DVD do work):
"Nausicaa Valley of the wind"
"Howls Castle"
but also non Japanese DVD:
"Lions for Lambs"
I have no idea what or where to look for, in order to post more info. Like to find out common properties of all the listed titles.
- I found the following in the "messages" window (when I click the time slider) => however the same message appears for some DVD, where the slider works correct:
main error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called
libmpeg2 error: DpbUnlinkPicture called on an invalid picture
libmpeg2 error: DpbUnlinkPicture called on an invalid picture
The media info dialog, shows the codec as "mpgv" in each case (good and bad), and the framerate as 25
