P.S. dubbed does suck

I haven't experienced that happening with DVD subs, but I'd imagine it would happen with DVD subs if any. I think DVD subs are made through some kind of video overlay (not by rendering text manually, that is), and if the sub overlay stream uses a different framerate than the main video stream, I'd imagine mplayer might have some trouble with it.

On the other hand, if you find the time it might be a good idea to talk to the people on the mplayer mailing list and try to resolve it, since it seems like a bug.

What version of MPlayer are you using, btw.?

[lakerdonald]

I included the version in the title of the thread! lol
Mplayer v. 20040605
Well I didn't want to be the boy who cried bug, lol

[Dolda2000]

Why am I no longer surprised? I never read the title of the thread. =)
You have no idea how many times this has happened to me before... bleh

[lakerdonald]

lol Thanks
I had a similar thought about the subtitle framerate and i looked at the documentation and couldn't really find a good way to change it. But even if i could change the framerate, that doesn't explain why the A/V sync is destroyed. Maybe it really is a bug?

Yes, most definitely it is a bug. That's why I suggested that you should enter the MPlayer mailing list if you find the time.
