Judging by that output, your mplayer is already patched and ready to go. Despite what the X driver may report, there is no XV for pvr-350 tv-out. It is merely a dumb framebuffer -- and it isn't really designed for video output -- it is for on-screen display overlaid on video output by the device itself. It is simply not fast enough, it seems, to have raw video output by the computer onto it. Try using "ivtvosd" device -- that spits the input file directly to the pvr-350 hardware. This will cause strange things to happen if you aren't trying to play MPEG-2 data -- DVD is this, however, so playing a DVD should work. -- Ian Trider [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
