It's not a particularly good player (no working subtitle support, no input buffer) so it tends to skip a bit on my PII-400. Faster machines may be able to maintain full speed. Interestingly enough vlc only uses about 60-80% of my CPU when playing, but still cannot maintain full speed (due to the lack of input buffer). Your only other option under FreeBSD is to try xine+captain_css (google is your friend), but I've never actually managed to get that configuration working. I almost played the first frame of a DVD once though. -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| 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-hackers" in the body of the message
