[MPlayer-users] Can't play DV but can play mpeg2(DVD). Is this expected behavior

Hi,

I have a 850mhz Duron, 384mb ram, S3 Trio 3D/2X 8mb AGP card. (hdparm -tT 
reports 18mb/s)

I can not play DV without significant framedropping. (used win32 codecs as 
well as ffmpegs).
However if I encode the same footage to mpeg2 using mjpegtools it will play 
well. (No scaling, just deinterlacing).

Is this normal ?

I imagine that the decoding of the mpeg2 would be more CPU intensive than DV.

Regards
PB
