Hi, Ok, to clarify, when I say my cpu redlines, I simply mean that top shoots up to about 95% when I start mplayer, and I also know that it's a problem since I get that error message that my computer is too slow to play this file, given by mplayer... I can't play anything in fs mode, even with framdrop enabled. But yes, i have SSE compiled in, and Mplayer uses all the extensions that it finds, this is my output from mplayer: MPlayer 0.60-2.95.3 (C) 2000-2002 Arpad Gereoffy (see DOCS!) CPU vendor name: GenuineIntel max cpuid level: 2 CPU: Intel Pentium 4 Willamette (Type: 8, Stepping: 7) extended cpuid-level: 4 CPUflags: Type: 8 MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled for x86 CPU with features: MMX MMX2 SSE Reading /home/jdhar/.mplayer/codecs.conf: can't open '/home/jdhar/.mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory Reading /usr/local/share/mplayer/codecs.conf: 26 audio & 70 video codecs I am using XFree86-4, and a TNT2 32Mb card. I did notice this line however while using mplayer -vo sdl ... SDL: Using driver: x11 Is that normal? Does anyone have any other suggestions, could it be a video card related problem?
