It is probably using something else to scale the video, your video driver wanted to use 2332800 bytes for a buffer that needed 3133440 bytes. What video card are you using?

Usually they get a new video card, but can you try this little experiment with mplayer? mplayer allows you to try various video output methods using the -vo option. Try them all and report back with the ones that work, so we know what we might want to implement.. Be careful as mplayer will print "The selected video_out device is incompatible with this codec." sometimes, and select another videoout device for you, in this case do not report success with that video out device. BTW You can force MythTV to not try using XVideo by defining the "NO_XV" environment variable before running MythTV. However, you computer will probably be too slow for this to work at HDTV resolutions. -- Daniel _______________________________________________ mythtv-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-dev
