Hmmm, which Nvidia drivers are you using? IIRC, 0.16 introduced a new video sync method for playback, based on OpenGL, for > 6611 drivers. With the old 4363 driver it used the /dev/nvidia method, which no longer works with later drivers. I'm not saying this code is buggy, but it may be exposing some other problem in your system. In the Nvidia/Linux forum, lots of folks have reported problems (lock-ups, "X using 90% of CPU", etc) with the Nvidia linux drivers, especially when OpenGL is used. Also, have you tried testing video playback with other programs? Try the following: mplayer -vo xv <file> mplayer -vo gl <file> mplayer -vo gl2 <file> Do any of those cause problems? If so, suspect your video card or driver. You might also want to physically inspect your card. I have a LeadTek GF4 MX 420, and recently my display starting locking up with I start X. After much Googling, I took a look at the card itself and discovered that the chip fan had stopped working & that the capacitors were bulging. I'm in the process of getting the card RMA'd. -JAC _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
