I've been using Safe CFLAGS with -0s and -2s, athlon-xp. No experimental flags. I'm using that box mounted on a root NFS system, hddless. I 've get new video streams, now I'm able to play 720p streams with.. "-vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts fast:skiploopfilter=all" but 1080p .. as before, I can play it smoothly but only if I open mplayer inside X without Freevo, with "-vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts lowres=1:fast:skiploopfilter=all".. uhm.. I can't get it working if Freevo has around 2-3 % of CPU while mplayer runs, it is not enough to play smoothly the video. I need that 3% :S. Any idea? Maybe you are thinking, it's insane to play a 1080p video with those filters, but even that is better than a DVD with pp/hqdn3d/... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
