[MPlayer-users] Horizontal Lines in Playing DVD

[Tahir]

I am having trouble playing DVD's under linux in mplayer, xine as well 
as ogle. DVDs do start playing but for some reason they have all these 
small horizontal lines at the portion of the screen where theres some 
motion. I am kindda new with linux, so I usually get my help at IRC 
channels. People asked me change my output codec to 'x11' and 'xv'. But 
none of them solved the problem. They asked me to enable DMA for my 
hdisk and DVD-ROM... and it was already enabled. They even asked me to 
turn off the SCSI simulation in grub.conf and made me reboot. But the 
problem persisted.

I just purschased this DVD-ROM, its a new Sony DVD-R... and it works 
fine under winXP. The graphic card I am using is "Nvidia GeForce 4 MX 
440 SE". I have its driver installed from nvidia's website. I am using 
Redhat 9.0.  My machine is nothing special but its a P3 800Mhz with 
512MB SD RAM.

Other files like mpeg, avi, divx run absolutely fine without any 
problems. The problem just arises whenever I try to play a DVD.  I have 
tried to fiddle around with the settings for all those players,  but 
nothing made a difference.

I am really lost, have no idea how to resolve this issue... I would be 
more than happy to try out any suggestions you guys might have.

appreciate your help,
