Fullscreen Movies (avi - fine, dvd

accessdenied042 · 02-08-2004, 11:25 AM

I have the newest Xine and the frontend Xineou I thinks its called. I am now watching a movie I have on CD (*.avi) which is on full screen. Its playing great. I load up any of my DVD movies and they lag when on fullscreen. I can watch them default size all day and no problems. Can someone please point me in the right direction. Thanks a million.

Well I assume the difference is DVD's have to be unencrypted to play, and it is probably that extra step (which doesn't exist with AVI's on a CD) that is causing your slow down.

check the DMA on your dvd drive.

How would I go about that? Im new to Slackware and learning it fast. I just haven't done that one yet. Thanks

DMA is on. Would giving it scsi emulation help out here?

I mentioned up in the first post that a DVD plays fine as long as I don't play it full screen. I can watch it normal size just fine.

SCSI emulation would slow you down even more, how fast is your processor?

Its a Celeron 900Mhz with 512MB RAM. They plyed just fine on *forgive the cussword* XP prior to my dumping that OS for Slackware.

Hmm, that sould be more then enough, I can run DVD's fullscreen on my slow Pentium III 550 machine... let me think about it and see if I can think of anything else
