I agree, it is odd. I was using my own build of dvbcut some months ago, but moved to the Debian package once it caught up. The checksum of/usr/bin/dvbcut matches the package now, according to debsums. > > and noticed that > > using the arrow keys to move becomes much more responsive if I first use > > the play and then stop buttons. > > You mean, the autorepeat is getting faster? The response is faster. I've autorepeat on the X server set to 35 repeats per second, different to the default. This is configured using "xset r". Then I use tab to place the focus over the first of the two positioning bars; the linear one. Then left and right arrow keys can be used, with or without modifiers; - left and right, large jump, - shift left and right, medium jump, - control left and right, frame by frame jump. Normal situation: - dvbcut does not keep up with the control left and right arrow keystrokes if they are provided at the autorepeat rate, - there is no blink between frames, - the keystrokes are buffered and once the key is released dvbcut takes some time to catch up, - the time taken increases in relation to the time the key was held down. As a result, one learns to not allow autorepeat to occur. Unusual situation, after using play and then stop: - dvbcut does keep up, - there is a momentary blackness in the content drawing area before the next frame is displayed. > > Is there a way to cause this without pressing play and then stop?

Yes, I thought of that, but I thought MPlayer was stopped after the stop key was pressed. It seems a side-effect of using MPlayer, but running MPlayer outside dvbcut doesn't change the symptom. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App & Earn a Chance To Win $500!
