ac3 is worse? or normal audio is wrose? > I am assuming this is because mplayer is > converting from divx or mpeg4 or whatever I'm > playing and mpegpes (and spitting that out to the > card to decode and display) > -- is this a good assumption? i'm not sure which version of the patch this is. There are 3 or 4 floating around.. I wrote one that basically takes the mpegpes, globs it up into 64k chunks, and sends it to the card. some video was 'liked' more than others though, so it could be the card not liking the mpegpes. or it could be lack of cpu. if your cpu is pegged, and you're converting to mpeg on the fly, you can't expect it to be smooth :) It could also be a framebuffer type which has no performance guarentees.. though that may be -vo ivtvosd (john?) > ivtv-fb doesn't seem to initialize correctly on my > system -- the framebuffer > is "skewed" and if I use -vo ivtvfb I can see that > it's playing to the > framebuffer, but it's not viewable due to the skew. yeah i forget why that happens. On mine if it happens, i just have mythtv play a video and that fixes it, once it's fixed i don't think it returns. Could be a bad init of the framebuffer variables in the code. -tmk ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
