Ever try one of the other MPlayer output methods? I've used SDL and OpenGL in the past with some success. Try "mplayer -vo help" for a list. Also, you could wrap MPlayer in a script that uses XrandR to change the display resolution to the movie's native resolution on playback, so no scaling would be required. -JAC _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
