To resurrect an mplayer thread with a couple of my finds-
I just can't get a 640x480 movie running smoothly enough, this isn't such a problem as I have encoded some 320x240 vids to work, the problem now is running them fullscreen.
- BVDD mode will not run when the screen size is set to 320x240 using xrandr
- BVDD doesn't work with -vf scale=640:480
What does work:
- I can use xrandr to resize the screen and use the default video out device, but it's still not fast enough to keep, this is what I use most of the time.
- Using the -vm parameter with BVDD works! screen is resized and video's play beautifully BUT!! when the screen is resized there is some evil looking flashing, and once mplayer has quit there is horrid artifacts left behind until the screen refreshes. I'm scared to use this mode in case it's damaging the screen.
So does anyone have any input into this problem, or some settings they can recommend me?
Thanks
