My machine is an Athlon 500Mhz, ATA DVD, ATI All-In-Wonder 128, SoundBlaster Live 1024, FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE, XFree86 4.1 compiled with XVideo, etc., using ati2 drivers from GATOS project. I always get frame drops playing DVDs, even using different software players. I tried ogle, mplayer, xine, and others. Even with ogle, the fastest player I tried, I can't get more than 20 FPS. Audio seems good (I use newpcm), no problems. I would like to know if my machine is fast enought to decompress DVD video, or perhaps I have some hardware or software problem. The ATA driver is using DMA to drive my DVD, so I can't see any bottleneck other than insufficient CPU power. It goes without saying that under Windows I have no problems; but, however, under Windows the video drivers can use the MPEG2-decoder chip on the graphic card to perform the task. -- Gruppo Utenti FreeBSD Italia (GUFI) http://www.gufi.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
