Hi,

I'm planning to build a "multimedia" box with NetBSD (probably with an
AMD64 barebone are my old GeForce2 MX). Anyway, I'm doing a few testings
(playing encoded videos in various formats : dvd, mpeg, divx, ...)
on my laptop (P4 2.5GHz and ATI Radeon 9000) and MPlayer is really
slow (compared to Linux 2.4 with Xorg and ATI drivers). When I say
'really slow', I mean that it is slow enough to be noticed. It seems
that only divx are impacted. I mean, I have videos (from a DV cam) in DV
format, dvd (mpeg) format and divx format (all encoded from Pinnacle
Studio).

I've recompiled MPlayer without CPU detection this doesn't work better.

I was wondering if there were any tricks to have mplayer display movies
in a "descent" way. Maybe it's just a problem with those damm ATI drivers a=
nd
any other video card is OK...

TIA,
	Jo
