Hello, I had exactly the same kind of problem and recompiled mplayer with the xv use flag, then used vo=xv, in fact it defaults to it on my system. CPU usage then came right down. I have an older nvidia card than you so I hope you also see a benefit! Yours, Paul -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
