Thanks, I'm giving VLC a try and it seems to be working okay. Probably a question for the VLC forums (I'll copy a post there in a minute...), but I don't understand why I can't get autocropping to work. I'm using """self.Instance = vlc.Instance("--no-audio", "--play-and-pause", "--autocrop") """ within my program, and I've tried using the same arguments on the command line but no joy. Should I be adding any other arguments to include this filter? I'm using the precompiled version of vlc.py which came with the Qt bindings; under Windows 7, PyQt4 and Python 3.2.

MPlayer was also working well embedded into a QWidget, only the background was destroyed in resizing when paused or stopped as described in my earlier posting below. I attempted also to take screenshots using QPixmap.grabWindow() and .grabWidget() but these only return an empty image. I'd still like to understand this behaviour if anyone has any ideas. Thanks.

Best regards,
Timothy Grove

If you can use VLC instead of Mplayer, there are Python/Qt bindings for it that seem to work fine

    I've been successful in embedding the MPlayer video player into a
    QWidget thanks to the PyMPlayer application
    (http://code.google.com/p/python-mplayer/). Resizing the QWidget
    resizes a movie just fine while the movie is playing, but once a
    movie is paused or stopped, no resizing of the displayed frame
    occurrs and even worse, if the window size is decreased so that it
    covers the movie, that area of the movie frame is erased. I'm
    wondering if someone could suggest what issues 'might' be involved
    here? Thanks for any ideas!
