I must be either going mad, or getting confused, which ever file i was trying out before is no longer exhibiting the same behaviour now [0]. What i can report though, having spent the last hour going over various files, is that some DivX's do tick over at between 7-30%. playback of DVB-T captures (via mythtv) consume between 25-35%, a DVD OTOH grabs 50-60%, MPEG2 via a PVR-250 around 40-50%, and static from the latter ~60%. What i don't quite understand, is why DVD playback is quite so high, I'd have thought that the DivX's (being better compressed) would take up more CPU. ho hum. This is all on an Epia MII-12000 BTW. -vince [0] methinks a combination of lack of food and staring at screens all day may have resulted in top being run on a different host to the one running mplayer. Altho I was positive that i did see mplayer fall off the CPU during video playback... Ooops. DirectFB still rocks my socks tho. -- keys: http://codex.net/gpg.asc Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power. -- Abraham Lincoln _______________________________________________ directfb-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-users
