Never seen a problem like that. Maybe bad video file, or there is a bug in the codec used by that file. Given multiple players failing it is likely a codec bug or a problem with the file (since most of the players share many of the codecs). Of course it could be a bug in the nvidia driver too related to the way the video data coming out of a given codec is processed. I believe the x11 driver, all the processing is doing by the player/codec and fully decoded video is sent to the video card. With xv a lot of the decoding and conversion (YUV to RGB and all that) is done by the video driver or hardware, so there certainly is a possibility of different behaviour there. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
