<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm new to this mailing group. I've always wanted
to get rid of GATESware from my system and finally I feel that
I've got a chance: With MPlayer being a VERY sophisticated and nice
peace of work from all you guys! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Probably this is even a very silly
question:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can I use my dvb hardware-decoder (mpegpes) AND
watch the output on my CRT-Projector as X-overlay?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Watching ripped DVD-files with</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2># mplayer -ao alsa9 -ac hwac3 -vo xv
<files></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>basically works, but mplayer always reports that my
system is to slow and indeed, sysload is ~100% :-((</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Using -framedrop gets rid of these messages, but
yields unsmooth output at still close to 95% sysload, playing around with
-autosync and -cache values havs no effect (except that sound sometimes becomes
out-of-sync...).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(Strange enough under GATES98SE I can watch these
vob's with PowerDVD without problems @ sysload < 75%)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've got a PIII @ 500Mhz, ATA133-HD's (dma is
active), original Siemens DVB-s (Rev. 1.3), SB-Live! incl. digital I/O
interface and unfortunately an Nvidia GeForce DDR with 32MB
(ASUS-V6800Deluxe). Nvidia's newest drivers - 4191 - seem to be ok though. After
lots of RTFM's and recompiling (Suse 8.1) to fix the HEAD-driver problems I can
now - finally :-))) - also successfully run</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2># mplayer -ao mpegpes -vo mpegpes
<files></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and get the output on my video-out port of the
dvb-card. Sysload is now <30% so hw-decode seems to work. I can also watch
the output via xawtv but it's of very poor quality (interlaced and small). I
can't use motv (to try filtering for deinterlace) if i run
mpegpes. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any ideas/instructions how to use hw-decoding AND
getting X output from mplayer at the same time - @ full screen resolution (e.g.
<A href="mailto:1042x768@100hz">1042x768@100hz</A>)?</FONT></DIV>
