My available homePC w/Cinelerra on openSUSE 10.2 is an old, less powerful K7 w/ATI Rage128RF graphical card, SB0312 Audigy LS (modern) audio card, 512MB memory and a sliced 80GB Maxtor-5T060H6 hard disk.

Is it possible to tune this hardware and system to playback DV video and audio optimized and preferably smoothly?

This happends when I playback a 2GB DV wide (down converted from HDV) file in various video player:

1) Cinelerra Viewer:
Some stuttering video and audio

2) MPlayer
Opens the file in a correct 16:9 wide window. But after playing some seconds it stops with the following repeting error message (here from terminal):

Too many video packets in the buffer: (59 in 8496000 bytes).
Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?
For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.
Audio output truncated at end.
A: 8.3 V: 6.3 A-V: 2.040 ct: 0.470 158/158 227% 30% 25.8% 26 0 Too many video packets in the buffer: (59 in 8496000 bytes).

MPlayer has available a full screen context menu selection, but I think it scales full screen to 4:3 on a 4:3 display. Dragging a corner of the default window neihter lock it to the right aspect ratio. Is it possible in some way to select 16:9 to fit the width of the display?


3) VLC
Opens the file in a wrong 4:3 aspect window. After playing some time it stops with the following error message (here from terminal):

vlc dv02.dv
VLC media player 0.8.6d Janus
[00000349] ffmpeg decoder error: more than 5 seconds of late video -> dropping 
frame (computer too slow ?)
[00000286] main playlist: stopping playback

Is it possible to get VLC to open the file in a correct 16:9 window, and preferably scale it to fit the display width?
