Probably you just have high definition content or a crappy graphics card or you fumbled your MPlayer compilation. Are you using MPlayer at all? Obviously this depends on the testing material's resolution and complexity ver much, but low and medium resolution samples can play fine on hardware of that class. I'll be more specific, the following samples play flawlessly: 352x240: http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/V-codecs/h264/Aladin.mpg 704x352: http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/V-codecs/h264/hbc9.avi 704x288: http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/V-codecs/h264/x264.avi The following takes the hardware to its limits, A/V synchronisation is lost during the end where there is a lot of action. A PIII 600 with SSE optimizations or an Athlon 600 should be able to cope, though: 640x352: http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/V-codecs/h264/cathedral-beta2-400extra-crop-avc.mp4 This one is beyond the capabilities of the hardware. You can watch it with '-lavdopts skiploopfilter=nonkey' at degraded quality, though. I expect a machine in the 800-900 MHz range to be able to manage. 720x576: http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/V-codecs/h264/tij-h264.avi Diego -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
