Speed:

Video Options:

Audio Options:

  • Slow motion: Plays at half the speed.
  • Fast motion: Plays double speed.
  • Video driver:
    Select a video driver from these ones:
    1. directx (default) -> DirectX driver. Video is in a standard window.
    2. gl2 -> OpenGL driver. Video is borderless.
    3. winvidix -> VIDIX driver. Will likely crash.
  • Framedrop (default on): Skip displaying some frames to maintain A/V sync on slow systems.
  • Hard Framedrop: More intense frame dropping. Leads to image distortion!
  • Softsleep: Use high-quality software timers instead of the RTC. As precise as the RTC without requiring special privileges. Comes at the price of higher CPU consumption.
  • Audio driver:
    Select an audio driver from these ones:
    1. dsound (default) -> DirectX DirectSound audio output driver.
    2. win32 -> native Windows waveout audio output driver.
  • Audio stream: Select an audio channel.

Audio/Video Synchronization:

  • Slow down audio by 0.1 second.
  • Speed up audio by 0.1 second.

Set process priority for MPlayer according to Windows predefined priorities:
  1. idle
  2. belownormal
  3. normal -> Default.
  4. abovenormal
  5. high
  6. realtime -> This setting will cause a system lockup... eventually.
  • File type associations...
This will open the File Type window. You can check and unchecked the file type you would like to be associate with the zeitnot MPlayer GUI.
This is the console output of MPlayer (stdout and stderr). Look in this window for clues when having trouble playing a particular file. You can press ctrl+a in this text box to select the entire output to copy and paste in your favourite program.

  • Additional command line arguments: This is where you can add some command line arguments.
