[MPlayer-users] embedding mplayer in windows causes 100% cpu useage

[dan kay]

when I use "-wid hwnd" to embed mplayer under windows it all works fine 
except that mplayer uses 100% CPU a lot of the time and therefore gets very 
jerky. I have tried to code a workaround by NOT embedding and instead hiding 
and manipulating the mplayer window to the right place, it kind of works but 
is kludgey and has side effects. Doing it this way the CPU rarely goes above 
10% (2800Mhz chip).

I have noticed the same effect in other windows apps that embed the mplayer 
window so I'm 100% convinced it's a bug. Latest version I've tested is 
October 2005. Any chance of this being investigated?

cheers
