Sorry, since solving the strange negative photo preview image on my r128 machine I tried to solve the same problem on my Mach64 mythfrontend machine, and the mach64 machine also has other video problems so simply disabling preview isn't really the complete solution.
The Mach64 is a 400mhz CPU so its other problem of slightly stuttering video may be unsolvable. However, I have a sneaking suspicion that Xv will allow me to play video without using 100% CPU. I seem to be able to play movie trailers from apple.com without any problems, at 480x360, and although that's not an identical task it does give me hope that I may be able to eliminate this very slight video stutter. I like the idea of not previewing the entire video, maybe just preview the first 10 seconds and then pause. --- Craig Partin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > you can turn off the preview and have it just be a > still image. its > in one of the settings menus. > > > On Fri, 4 Feb 2005 12:17:10 -0500, Jeff Simpson > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Oh, I love ME-TOOs > > > > put one in for me, too, I have the same problem. > Except mine is a > > newer PVR-350 (rev990).
