Gabucino, Do you know if either plugin uses MESA_ycbcr_texture? this would avoid the need for you to convert YUV data to RGB in order to render it as a texture. Should speed things up of OGL. when I looked at the xine plugin source, it did not support this. For systems that do not support the extension, you could always fall back to RGB. As Ian mentioned, some of the other extensions coming down the pike will also help performance: APPLE_client_storage and such...

MPlayer actually has two different ones, for each is faster than the other, on specific hardware.

However it's good for SGI workstations with no xv, but fast 3D. --=20 Gabucino MPlayer Core Team __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
