mplayer says my computer is too slow... Its not!
The big issue is toward the bottom where it says that "Your computer is too slow to play this"
I am very confident that this is an audio driver problem, but I am not sure what to do about it. I cannot get any other selection in the audio section to work except OSS and when it plays with this I get very slow video and then it will crash with the error "Too Many Video Packets in the Buffer" (4096 of 8263598 bytes) This is what I get as a read out when executing from terminal... Someone please help :( Code:
MPlayer 1.0pre5-RPM-3.3.3 (C) 2000-2004 MPlayer Team |
You can find out if this is a problem with the video or audio codec by running with the option “-vo null” (no video), and then running with “-ao null” (no sound), and seeing if the error still occurs.
xv isn't a particularly fast output driver, especially with scaling (although much better than x11); you might try playing with this. |
I solved my problems altogether by switching to Xine. Much better program, but thank you for the response :)

I had the same error problem plus some really bad audio/video sync issues using the -vo x11 tag. I changed it to -vo xv and it fixed the issue. I have no clue what the difference is between the 2 or what they are other than video output. But hey it works! Thanks :)

The X11 driver uses the lowest-level X11 calls to send each uncompressed frame over the loopback (or network) interface, to the X server which then draws it with the graphics card.
The XV driver allocates a window (= area of the screen) on a local graphics card, to a given application (like mplayer). It can then draw on this window directly, taking advantage of more features like graphical acceleration, without bothering the X server about each individual frame. |
try enabling DMA on your DVD reader and on all of your hard disk (if not previously enabled) that fixed my problem with video packects
