Could you (or anyone else who has managed to get it working well)
share the settings that you use: inc extra audio buffer, aggressive
sound card buffering and esp the RingBuffer size compared with RAM on

playback on my system (XP 1900, GeForce MX 440, FC4/2.6.14, NV 7676).

Thanks,

I have XvMC working very smoothly on a celeron 450 with 192mb of ram. This is with an agp nvidia 5200. The setting that makes the biggest difference is to turn on chromakey osd. This frees up an additional buffer on the card for video decoding that was previously used for osd. There is not yet a setting in the setup page for mythfrontend, however the setting can be enabled with an entry in the database. Search the -dev list to find the setting as I can't remember what it is exactly. Also, I have found that OpenGL vsync actually causes more stuttering and adds extra processor load. I run with OpenGL vsync off.
