No caching is the default, but I guess it can't hurt to specify this explicitly in case the user has caching set in his ~/.mplayer/config > -osdlevel 0 : to remove the timebar osd display Can't hurt, but I doubt this affects performance in any measurable way. > I also decreases the number of captured frames to 1, which is IMHO enough. Did you test this? The first frame is always wrong: it is the first frame of the video itself, not the first frame we are seeking to. -frames 2 would be a bare minimum, but I've encountered videos where mplayer ends up writing nothing even with -frames 5 (for reasons I've never been able to determine). 10 was empirically determined to be a safe minimum value for all cases. One possible optimization might be, if we determine that -frames 2 works reliable for the common case (even if not every case), we try -frames 2 first, and if that doesn't yield a good result (and if it's possible to determine if a result is good programmatically), then we try again with -frames 10. I have committed the -nocache and -osdlevel 0 options; thanks for your patch. Cheers, Jason. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
