VLC has configurable optionions for starting in Full screen mode and for preselecting a given aspect ratio and deinterlace method (and much more). You can either change these values via GUI and then safe the settings, or you can hand edit the vlcrc file (it's quite well commented but has tons of options). (As usual, being a hacker, I just have a shellscript somewhere and an assortment of vlcrc files for various setups (playing DVD, playing HDV, playing DV). I didn't do much research, but for me VLC was the /only/ media player capable to display the 1080i HDV footage correct, i.e. with increased framerate, so it looks as smooth as on an external interlaced monitor. You need the deinterlace method "linear" (doing linear interpolation of the missing lines, gives a slightly blurred look) or "bob". The other deinterlace methods have the usual 25Hz flicker (which many people praise as "real film look"). I saw smooth HDV playback with VLC in this setup on some Celeron Laptops (about 2 GHz + nvidia proprietary driver), but probably this will be to much for your machine. But maybe it works with the downscale you mention. Have you setup VLC to use the XV output? PS: VLC does the same smoth playback for normal DV interlaced material, but of course, here the usual artifacts are much more noticeable) Cheers, Hermann Vosseler _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
