[MPlayer-users] Optimization for a slow CPU

[Grant]

I have a Celeron 700 with 192MB.  I just bought a brand new Lite-On
DVD burner from newegg.com and luckily it is watchable with -cache and
-framedrop.  It's pretty choppy though and if I don't use -framedrop
the sound cuts out after a couple seconds and it's really slow.  The
picture quality is also kind of mushy.  Is there anything I can do to
make it play smoothly and clean up the picture quality?  Here's the
command I'm using:

mplayer -cache 8192 -framedrop -dvd-device /dev/dvd dvd://1

I'm using a totally up-to-date Gentoo system.
