My XF86Config is pretty bare-bones at the moment. xdpyinfo tells you which extensions are supported by your X server, among other things.

The output from your xvinfo looks perfectly fine. Note that the list of "image formats" is what can be used as _input_ to the xvideo extension. This is not what can be oused as actual output to the screen. For example: > id: 0x32315659 (YV12) > guid: 59563132-0000-0010-8000-00aa00389b71 > bits per pixel: 12 > number of planes: 3 > type: YUV (planar) This is a 2x2-subsampled YUV input format, i.e. separated chrominance / luminance information, with chrominance using half the resolution. There is 8 bit of luminance (Y) information per pixel, and 16 bit of chrominance information (8 bit U, 8 bit V) per 4 pixels (2x2 square), thus you get 12 bits per pixel overall. This is exactly the format that's typically used in MPEG video streams. In fact, your list seems to be identical to mine. As I wrote, I also have an S3 Savage (MX), and it works fine with aviplay and mplayer in 32 bit mode. The important thing in the `xvinfo` output is this: > supported visuals: > depth 24, visualID 0x21 If you get the same, it _should_ work.

Sometimes, when the X server has been running for a long time, I also get problems with video playback. It looks like green stripes all over the output window. My guess is that the xvideo part of the server drops out of sync somehow. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reproduce this reliably, so I cannot say what is really causing it. It might be a certain X application triggering it under certain circumstances. In any case, restarting the X server fixes the problem (I simply log out and in again, so xdm kills and restarts the X server). Right after logging in, mplayer works fine again (and aviplay, too). I'd suggest you try to kill the running X server, then start a "bare bones" X session, possibly without any window manager at all, just a naked xterm, and try to run mplayer immediately. If it works, then some application had been confusing the xvideo extension for you before. BTW, I'm using olvwm as the window manager, so this does not seem to trigger the problem. Other than that, I have no idea what else to try.

It seems this ISA "Plug-and-Pray" card makes a lot of headache because it doesn't want to be initialized under standard Ensoniq SoundScape drivers (as sscape0 & sscape_mss0, MIDI and FM respectively) It only can be set up as "device pcm", but it's a very bad idea. I already have an Yamaha XG PCI sound card (YMF-724) as pcm device, so during boot process this card initializes as pcm0, and works fine, but no MIDI (I see there is a problem adding MIDI support to Yamaha XG soundcards to FreeBSD kernel, as well as to OSS and ALSA). Next, I decided to use this SoundScape as a second sound card, for MIDI playback, and here I go. So when system boots up it recognizes this SoundScape as pcm1 device, along with a big bug listing: pcm1: at port 0x330-0x33f,0x530-0x537,0x2100-0x213f irq 5,9 drq 1,0 on isa0 AD_WAIT_INIT FAILED 201 0x80 AD_WAIT_INIT FAILED 1002 0x80 AD_WAIT_INIT FAILED 203 0x80 AD_WAIT_INIT FAILED 1002 0x80 AD_WAIT_INIT FAILED 1000 0x80 AD_WAIT_INIT FAILED 1000 0x80 mss: Auto calibration timed out(1).

I even cannot get KDE working, because after initialization (I can hear startup sound from my Yamaha card) system hangs up completely, no help from Ctrl-Alt-BackSpace, only RESET; when I take either Yamaha or Ensoniq sound card off, system works fine. I gave up with this "Plug-and-Pray" card, so if you have no ideas how to get it working, I will throw it away to some M$ Windows driven PC :( Here is error description achieved during kernel compilation, as "devices sscape0".

But there are still some issues. Every player have some flaws and does things better than the other. I'm still looking for *the* player. Perhaps some of you have a solution? *Xine* Isn't it possible to compile it with decss-support (libdvdread?)? Got poor audio-output. I get this scratchy metallic sound. Due to css I've not tested xine very much. *Videolan* Nice one with decss. Sound, as poor as Xine though. I can only get "widescreen" display (eg. 2.35:1/16:9/1.78:1/whatever ratio) when running in xvideo-mode in window. Do I choose another video-output or go fullscreen I loose the widescreen. Would be nice to keep the widescreen aspect i fullscreen as well. *mplayer* This is the latest I've tried. Nice mpeg2-decoding, very few framedrops (compared to the other two). I was about to buy myself a new soundboard due to Xine and Videolan, until I tried mplayer. *NO* artifacts, so my board isn't faulty! wee ;) mplayer have *almost* become my prefered dvd-player if it wasn't for one big showstopper: I can't select another audio-stream, I'm stuck with whatever default mplayer finds (directors comment, swedish dubbing whatever). No matter what stream I try to set with -aid I get no sound. And then there is the same widescreen issues as with vlc with a twist. If I run mplayer with -gui I loose widescreen, but it still decodes for widescreen, so I'm getting long faces. Anyone got solutions to some of my problems?

I was all ready to extoll the virtues of mplayer until I discovered that its subtitle support is completely broken (nothing I can do will make the subtitles actually appear). I've not tried the different -aids however. Of the three mplayer is the best though. I think in a few more versions it will be a very usable simple DVD player.

This on an AMD duron 750MHz, with fxtv and ffmpeg taking together ~75% cpu time. So, it falls short of 30fps VCD quality, but it worked well last night to record southpark... gotta get a 1.4 GHz :-) Fxtv is actually consuming twice as much cpu time as ffmpeg (probably because of the conversion to ppm, and because I do some inefficient things) Currently it uses aio_xx calls, so the kernel must have AIO_VFS compiled in. (it was an easy hack. the whole thing is a hack anyway...) TBD: - audio/video sync (not tested extensively, there may be some drift) - replace aio_xx with select()/poll() - clean memory/proc handling to reduce hangs and crashes ! - add other available ffmpeg options in the GUI (currently only format and bitrate) - speed up if possible I'll post a link when I get there.

The BT8x8 cards can generate such frames, and mpeg encoding starts off by generating YUV from RGB (and it is a major CPU killer - witness how much CPU the Xv extension saves you when playing a movie - the CPU no longer has to do YUV -> RGB) And, uhh, no, I have no patches :) > I'll post a link when I get there.

Hi,

I am in Korea (NTSC system) with my European TVcard (PAL).
(It's a Hauppauge WinTV/PCI-FM).

How can I get this working? Some people vaguely suggested something like:

Antenna--> VCR-input / VCR-output --> TVcard-Video-input.

I don't have a VCR yet, so before I go and buy one, I would like an
expert approval of this set up.

Is there someone who can tell me that the above setup is going to work?

Thanks a lot,

This only stands a hope of working if you get a VCR which converts from NTSC to PAL. That kind of VCR is very common here in Australia, and I suspect that many of them are made in Korea, but most such VCRs fake it by creating something like PAL but at 30 frames per second instead of 25. It's barely possible that your Hauppage card will handle that, but you certainly shouldn't count on it. If you want a VCR anyway, try it out. Otherwise you're probably better off buying a new video card.

It's possible to get libdvdcss support. See http://members.home.nl/mphm.janssen/linuxvideo/linuxvideo.html I have it working, but my sound is out of sync with the video (strangely, the sound lags the video by around 1-2 secs so it's not that the machine is too slow for video playing). I think, but I'm not sure, that this started happening only after I upgraded XFree86 to a CVS version; but other software has no problem. I'll give the new version of xine (0.9.2) a shot soon. As to the sound -- the scratchy sound seems like something I've seen, ie the freebsd driver has problems upsampling/downsampling sound, and when downsampling it gives exactly the sort of noise you describe. (When upsampling it only gives a slight but annoying distortion.) I suspect your dvd outputs audio at 48000 Hz while your sound card accepts at some different frequency like 44100 Hz. In such cases I use kde's artsd to up/downsample. (Make sure it's running with the sample rate set to whatever's correct for your sound card, then start your audio program using artsdsp, eg artsdsp xine or, when possible, configure the program to directly output sound to artsd) > *Videolan* > > Nice one with decss.

In case anybody hasn't heard about it, here's what Ogle can do: Pros: 1. Actually display the menus. Ogle parses the .ifo file and actually runs like a real DVD player. 2. Displays subtitiles correctly. 3. Allows you to choose audio tracks from the main menu. 4. Runs fairly fast on my limited machine (PII 400). It looks like realtime most of the time. 5. Compiles right out of the box if you have all of the support stuff it wants installed. 6. The player is stable. I've not had it crash on me yet. 7. It compiles against libdvdcss, so you don't have to pre-decode your DVDs before you play them. Cons: 1. Requires a somewhat unusual audio library. Fortunatly it compiles just fine on FreeBSD. 2. Fast Forward/Rewind seem a little slow. Hitting the FF button repeatedly didn't seem to speed up the stream much. 3. This is a pretty early effort and it lacks polish, but then so do all of the DVD players on FreeBSD. 4. Libdvdcss has a very annoying behavior where it goes and cracks *every* VOB on a DVD before it starts playing. On some DVD this can me a minute or two wait when you start up. 5. Ogle has no de-interlacing (telecine) support as far as I can tell. This means you will get annoying artefacts when you play DVDs built from TV source. As far as I know, no software player (on any platform) supports this. 6. The subtitles on Ogle look somewhat pixelated, this is not normal.

Yes the files play ok in mplayer. I didn't stream them though. This is obviously not the way to do it but I was just experimenting with getting mpeg4 files made to see if they would play under mplayer. I first made an mpeg1 file with the built in scripts from fxtv. I then did this: ffmpeg -ac 2 -f mpeg -i ffmpeg_test3.mps -vcodec msmpeg4 ffmpeg_test3.avi The file plays just fine in mplayer. This is a 320x240 30fps stereo clip. I have all the files raw mpeg1 and mpeg4 if you have any questions on their settings.

Update your ports tree before trying any of these. Besides, I modified libxine to use libraries available in the ports tree instead of building their own version of those. This is a nice change. It now requires liba52 and ffmpeg due to this. However, there are 2 things that should be noted: 1) Don't know if this is working, I need feedback to know if I didn't break anything. Try using AC3 sound (liba52) and other things to make sure it is working; 2) Reinstall both liba52 and ffmpeg ports using the following versions since I added some header files that libxine now requires. Do this before trying the xine and libxine updates; - deinstall ffmpeg and liba52 - install the following versions to try the updates http://people.freebsd.org/~lioux/ffmpeg.tgz http://people.freebsd.org/~lioux/liba52-0.7.1.b.tgz Furthermore, I added a libxine patch that enables css processing. I got the idea from Rahul Siddharthan When building libxine, define WITH_CSS to enable the feature. make -DWITH_CSS If enough people reply saying that this work, building with css processing may become the default.

How nice not to be living in the US :) Unfortunately, I may not be able to test it till Monday (from work) -- my dialup link is rather slow, good only for checking mail... Feedback about the ogle port: the cli interface works for me, and it's very nice. The gui startup hangs with the message (on the terminal) xsniff_mouse and I never get the GUI on the screen at all. In cli mode, it seems to work fine, except that (a) I have to choose the AC3 audio track before playing the dvd (I suppose that's by design), and (b) if I choose that audio track and then try to start from the middle of the DVD (ie not the first chapter), I don't get the sound, only an annoying hum. However, if I start playing at the beginning and then skip ahead, it works. Sorry for mixing this feedback in the xine mail, but I don't have the other -multimedia mails saved on this machine... Thanks Rahul.
