Perhaps not very significant (ogg is really very good, imo) but hardly worth the trouble, it seems to me.

I get 5-10 times compression which helps with smaller, slower drives :-) I barely hacked the GUI so not all settings are accessible (like quality and interlacing), but I guess this is not difficult to add. It works ok, but I noticed that YUV (format needed for RTJpeg) capture does not work above 320x240 resolution. Is that a known problem ? In that case I suppose I should force RGB565 capture and convert to YUV first, but it would be faster to grab in YUV in the first place. I can send diffs based on fxtv 1.03 if interested. bruno To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Thu Oct 4 9:42:24 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from mailout05.sul.t-online.de (mailout05.sul.t-online.com [194.25.134.82]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D1BC137B408 for ; Thu, 4 Oct 2001 09:42:19 -0700 (PDT) Received: from fwd07.sul.t-online.de by mailout05.sul.t-online.de with smtp id 15pBZf-0006Mg-0B; Thu, 04 Oct 2001 18:42:15 +0200 Received: from giskard.foundation.hs (320048919767-0001@[217.81.134.253]) by fmrl07.sul.t-online.com with esmtp id 15pBZX-0h13LsC; Thu, 4 Oct 2001 18:42:07 +0200 Received: from daneel.foundation.hs (daneel.foundation.hs [192.168.20.2]) by giskard.foundation.hs (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id SAA76047; Thu, 4 Oct 2001 18:42:06 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from hschaefer@fto.de) Date: Thu, 4 Oct 2001 18:40:50 +0200 (CEST) From: Heiko Schaefer X-X-Sender: To: Mark Vojkovich Cc: , , Subject: xine performance on freebsd. was: Re: [xine-user] Re: [Xpert]XvShm slower on freebsd than on line In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <20011004183557.R50599-100000@daneel.foundation.hs> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII X-Sender: 320048919767-0001@t-dialin.net Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hey Mark, hey everyone, > > Subject: Re: [xine-user] xine on freebsd? > > > > Hi Jason, > > > > On Wed, 12 Sep 2001, Jason Andresen wrote: > > > > > > even when using XvShm to display the video data xfree86 uses significantly > > > > more cpu power on freebsd than on linux (~15% on freebsd compared to ~1-3% > > > > on linux) which further indicates there's something wrong here. > > > > > > > > Comments, hints, ideas very welcome, > > Most likely an MTRR issue.

Using Xv I have problems, which are related to the XFree86 driver for my card (trident cyberblade) not to FreeBSD. However, it plays, it's just that the picture is broken in a very strange way. Lower resolution videos play fine with Xv too. xshm is basically unusable in full screen mode, but I can use mplayer with dga to get high quality full-screen playback. I haven't tried playing dvds. I agree about the MPAA, but my main peeve is not the encryption per se (we have decss in various ways), it's the zoning at the hardware level (RPC 2). Given that I'm now in zone 2, and am likely to move to at least 2 other zones in the next few years, there's no way I'm investing in DVDs without figuring out how to make my drive region-free.

Unfortunatly, that can be caused by another PCI card on your system hogging the bus for some big transfer (like say pushing a great big screen update to your video card). Hopefully this isn't your problem because the only way I know fix it is to replace the misbehaving card. = -- = \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Fri Oct 5 22:17:12 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from hawk.mail.pas.earthlink.net (hawk.mail.pas.earthlink.net [207.217.120.22]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4D2EC37B405 for ; Fri, 5 Oct 2001 22:17:09 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sm.socccd.cc.ca.us (pool0656.cvx14-bradley.dialup.earthlink.net [209.179.40.146]) by hawk.mail.pas.earthlink.net (EL-8_9_3_3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id WAA28728 for ; Fri, 5 Oct 2001 22:17:07 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <3BBE949C.743CF422@sm.socccd.cc.ca.us> Date: Fri, 05 Oct 2001 22:20:28 -0700 From: Farooq Mela X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.76 [en] (X11; U; FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE i386) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Subject: Linux binaries segfault after upgrade to 4.4 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi -multimedia, Has anybody else had the problem with linux binaries which use OpenGL crash after an upgrade to freebsd 4.4.

Maybe they are trying to divide by the return value of pwrite(); before the pwrite() which returns 0 there are several other pwrite calls which return non-zero. Since these damn things catch the fatal signals, I can't get a stack trace, and I have not been able to start the programs from within gdb either, I cannot coax it into loading the necessary linux .so's, but I will keep at it. If anybody has had similar problems or found some solution, I would like to hear from you. I am considering removing linux_base-6.1 and installing linux_base-7 - will this help or change anything? On an unrelated subject, I still cannot get either of these programs to utilize the sound card under any kernel after 4.2, I believe there is an open PR for this...

I've got 3 PCI-cards a SB PCI128 (ES1371), G400 AGP and a 3com ethernetcard I got recommended. And isn't it the job of the OS to allocate "bustime" and making sure that no HW is hogging the bus? But your reasoning sound logic though. The G400 is only 1x AGP and I'm running at an resolution at 1600x1200-32 which would give something along the lines of 7,3 MB/update. How often does X update? I guess it isn't doing it at the pace of the screens refresh-rate (76Hz) which is kinda 2x the limit of the AGP-port! ;) Oh well, I've wanted to get my hands on a G450 and SB Live! for a while, so this might be a nice excuse! ... unless the culprit is the networkcard.

But I'm not entirely sure how much advantage I (w. FreeBSD) can take of the new features. I've shuffled through most of the datasheets over at matrox.com but they consist mostly of buzzwords and haven't made me wiser. So if some of you have some experience with this card, please share! ;) Those Q's that roams in my head are these: Can FreeBSD use the TV-tuner (eg. through fxtv)? Does the TV-tuner support stereosound (eg. Nicam)? Does the video-capture support stereo? As to the DVD-capabilities. Does the G450 have some HW mpeg2-decoer and css-descrambler and is there some software on FreeBSD that can take advantage of this?

Hi, use mplayer out of /usr/ports/graphics/mplayer, it ROCKS! It supports .avi's and lots of other formats, and of course mpeg/DivX.. Good performance with 3dnow, SSE, MMX, MMX2 acceleration too.. -- farooq To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Sat Oct 6 14:48:36 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from Stalker.alfacom.net (Stalker.Alfacom.net [193.108.124.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1EA0D37B405 for ; Sat, 6 Oct 2001 14:48:31 -0700 (PDT) Received: from kushnir1.kiev.ua (dup-124-97.Alfacom.net [193.108.124.97]) by Stalker.alfacom.net (8.12.0/8.12.0) with ESMTP id f96Llrs3008961; Sun, 7 Oct 2001 00:48:01 +0300 (EEST) Received: from localhost (volodya@localhost) by kushnir1.kiev.ua (8.11.6/8.11.4) with ESMTP id f96LjoS59760; Sun, 7 Oct 2001 00:46:38 +0300 (EEST) (envelope-from vkushnir@Alfacom.net) X-Authentication-Warning: kushnir1.kiev.ua: volodya owned process doing -bs Date: Sun, 7 Oct 2001 00:45:34 +0300 (EEST) From: Vladimir Kushnir X-X-Sender: To: "S.F."

It's seen in sndstat: cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Oct 6 2001 20:37:13 Installed devices: pcm1: at io 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 (1p/1r/0v channels) and sound will play fine. The only problem is with /dev/mixer. If I look at the channels: Mixer vol is currently set to 0:0 Mixer synth is currently set to 0:0 Mixer pcm is currently set to 0:0 Mixer line is currently set to 0:0 Mixer mic is currently set to 0:0 Mixer cd is currently set to 75:75 these are not correct, as I wouldn't hear anything if they were. When I try to change any of these values: mixer vol 10:10 Setting the mixer vol to 10:10. mixer: WRITE_MIXER: Device not configured Anyone have any ideas? I can't figure out if I'm doing something wrong, or if my rev of the SoundBlaster just isn't supported by these drivers.
