I see the problem, but if I use mplayer -fs -zoom -quiet -vo ivtv %s then the video plays perfectly smoothly, it's just about 1 and a half times the size that it should be, so much of it is missing from the screen. also quoting from Jarod's guide: 'with the ivtvdev X driver, the measly 1GHz Via C3 in my EPIA (runs like a PIII-600) can decode and play back high-resolution xvid and ffmpeg4 encoded DVD rips without a problem' Which implies that there should be a solution out there somewhere. Has anyone using a PVR 350 had decent results using the TV out to play high resolution XVids and if so what command do you use to start mplayer? Currently I can use: ivtvfbctl -alpha 0; mplayer -fs -zoom -quiet -vo ivtv %s; ivtvfbctl -alpha 255 which gives me the wrong size video or mplayer -fs -zoom -quiet -vo ivtvosd %s which shows no video and spits out a load of errors along the line of: Error with sending DMA to ivtv FB!
