remote X display mplayer performance
 

Video playback on a client system is crap for all formats except wmv/asf.

Anyone know why this is?

Is there anyway to improve video performace?

My Sever is a Athlon 900, 512, 36gb scsi.
Client is cel 500, 128mb laptop
Both using a dedicated 100base network.
OS slackware-9.1/current/dropline/2.6.5

thanks
