1080p in linux
What software(exceping drivers) do you need for maximum performance with blu-ray movies or .mkv files? Is there any place I can find linux codecs or video players?
I'm using Slackware64 13.37 just in case... CPU: AMD Athlon II x4 640 Graphic card: NVIDIA GeForce G210 |

for a store bought dvd
VLC and make sure you have libdvdcss & libdvdread installed basically fallow the instructions on the VLC web site. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-slackware.html |
Thank you!

If you have the binary nvidia drivers and libvdpau, then rebuild MPlayer. MPlayer will detect that have vdpau support available, and you'll be able to use vdpau for hardware-accelerated decoding!
There are several SlackBuilds you can use, including one included with Slackware's sources. To also get support for playing commercial DVDs, run it with: Code:
USE_PATENTS=YES ./MPlayer.SlackBuild BTW, while none of the above will hurt you, you can really get by with doing nothing and just using version of MPlayer included with Slackware and/or the VLC package Samael linked to. I have a very similar setup to yours (Athlon II X3, Geforce 210), and both can play 1080p trailers from apple.com just fine. |
Moved: This thread is more suitable in <Slackware> and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.

I agree that using vdpau is the best option, because it will take quite some processing power from the CPU without it.

I have a script to automatically detect whether or not vdpau can be used for a particular file, and to launch mplayer with the appropriate options:
