Fullscreen DVD playback problem in Xine
Hi all
I've been running Fedora Core 2 for a couple of days now and i've come across a problem that i've never had before. Basically, when i play a dvd in fullscreen in xine, its very grainy and blocky and stutters a little. But, in window mode everything's fine. Does anyone know what's causing this?? I've read on the xine faq's that it was summat to do with DMA, but that's on and sorted. Maybe a graphics problem??? or the new kernel (2.6.8)?? I'm a complete linux newbee by the way. Laptop specs AMD Athlon XP-M 2400+ Barton CPU S3 ProSavageDDR Graphics Realtek ALC201 Sound 15.1" TFT Thanks in advance! :D MaDHAtteR |
Consider using Ogle:
http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/groups/dvd/ It's by far the best free DVD player I've seen. (just apt-get it) |
DVD
Yeah, have used that before, but Ogle doesn't de-interlace the video that's why i chose Xine. I need the de-interlacing for my laptop screen.
But, yes it's a very very good DVD player, though the only drawback to it is the missing de-interlacing feature. MaDHatteR |
no different player will help if your Xserver is not set up correctly - to use all the capabilities of your graphics card.
What you describe looks like an incorrect setup of XFree86 or Xorg - whatever you are using find out what grapics-card you have installed: lspci -v and check the configuration file of your xserver - usually in /etc/X11/XF86Config or similar - if it is even mentioning the correct driver... then check if this is actually loaded - by looking at the log-file the Xserver writes on startup - will probably be under /var/log/X...something that's it for now |
..above
check if you're using the Xv driver - afaik it's the fastest one. xine -V Xv enable dma with "hdparm" sl mritch. |
...adding to what mritch said:
to check if you even have xv working - issue this command: xvinfo if it gives a fair amount of output - it should be o.k. if you get errors... refer to what I said before |
