Thanks for the response. Yes, top tells me that I'm only using 60% of the CPU for mplayer and 10% for python (freevo) when running mplayer both inside and outside of freevo. I don't think I have a cpu performance problem. > > Another silly thing worth checking is are you running them both as the > same user?

I get the same behavior outside of freevo when using either the user which freevo runs (root) or an non-root user. When outside of freevo, the videos play just fine. The choice of videos is sensitive too. US broadcasts recorded from CBS, ABC, NBC work fine. I have trouble with videos from FOX and ION. I'm going to try and hack up mplayer.py to launch mplayer using "system" instead of the ChildApp class and see what happens there. I just need a fews hours to concentrate on it.
