I'm having performance issues playing DVD's on a 2.0 Ghz P4 laptop (Dell SmartStep 200N). The video is choppy and just can't sync up with the audio. My video card is an ATI Radeon Mobility, and I'm using the Gatos drivers. My sound card is an Intel 82801BA/BAM AC97, and I'm using OSS drivers for it. Nothing else is using the sound card (I checked with fuser). The DVD drive is an IDE device, and has DMA enabled. I've tried numerous combinations of options with mplayer (dga, xv, x11, fbdev, and sdl for video out, and oss and sdl for audio out), and nothing seems to help. Not even -framedrop. I'm using mplayer 0.90pre9. Anyone have any suggestions? It seems quite odd that a 2 Ghz laptop should have performance issues with this stuff.. -- Mike Perry Mad Computer Scientist fscked.org evil labs
