MPlayer, H.264 and "too many packets ..."

[soongwoo]

I'm using Ubuntu Linux and MPlayer be a default media player.
When MPlayer plays H.264 files or HD files,
it shows an error msg, "too many packets in the buffer ..."
After the error, sound is cranky. But video is fine.

Is there anyone to get similar experience for those files?
I'd like to know how you resolve the problem.

Thanks

i had something like that with slackware - what i did to resolve it (at the time) was to get the cvs/svn versions of x264 ffmpeg and mplayer, and the issue went away - although mplayer 1.0pre8 is out so you could try that

Thank you for your reply. I'll try them with new mplayer.

It could also be that your machine is just too slow and MPlayer is set to not drop frames. Try -framedrop or -autosync 30.
