Postprocessing DivX
Hi, I'm using mplayer 0.6 and it seems to kick ass! I see that it consumes much less CPU on my Duron 800 Linux box compared to a PIII 600 Windows box, while playing the same avi. I was trying to see if I can use the spare CPU cycles (about 30-40%) to do some postprocessing. Specifying -pp 0x20007f didn't seem to make much of a difference in picture quality. Is there any feedback I can get from mplayer about what's the pp it's actually using ? Also, another question about SDL and DGA. If I understand them correctly, they're both about bypassing the X server and writing directly to the framebuffer. I can get both -vo sdl and -vo dga working. However, they don't seem to reduce the CPU consumption by the X server process. The docs also suggest -vo sdl:dga, which doesn't work on my box. However, I'm curious how sdl:dga mode works. It seems to me that SDL and DGA are two implementations of the same thing, while the docs seem to suggest that they're complementary and can be used together. Thanks! -Arun
