I can only guess here. Perhaps the reasons is that mplayer has read from the file - which means that a significant portion, starting before or at the current position, is cached afterwards. And since RAM is way faster than disk, it doesn't take so long to decode the frames. When you move farther, dvbcut should slow down again. >>> Is there a way to cause this without pressing play and then stop?

It seems a side-effect of using MPlayer, but running > MPlayer outside dvbcut doesn't change the symptom. Maybe because it starts reading from the beginning of the file in that case. -- Michael "Tired" Riepe <mich...@mr511.de> X-Tired: Each morning I get up I die a little ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App & Earn a Chance To Win $500!
