I noticed that even with mplayer getting the option -vo dfbmga:crtc2:fieldparity=top:tvnorm=ntsc
I still got glitches during playback. I tried a number of command line arguments and found that playback was smooth if I specified -nosound. That's no good, since I don't want to watch all my tv shows on mute, so I kept trying options and found that adding -vsync to the command line made playback smooth. The only problem in that case was that audio was offset a bit and would get further out of sync sometimes after a seek. I added the -framedrop option and that seems to have fixed that, making mplayer drop a few frames after a seek in order to resync with the audio. I then went to the mailing list here and found another user using directfb with a matrox on his tv using the same exact options as I do now. I'm just curious if anyone else uses these or other options to get their tv-out on a matrox to play nice. I thought -vsync was implied when using the fieldparity option on the dfbmga driver, but I guess it isn't. Note that triple buffering is enabled by default for dfbmga. Why can't mplayer seek the audio exactly so no frames need to be dropped (mp3 audio)? I use the onboard audio (via8235). It occurs to me that this isn't even a freevo concern, but maybe some of you other freevoers know some answers to my questions.
