When using -x & -y, xv is still doing the scaling. From the command line, use something like '-vf scale=720:-1' to get mplayer to do software scaling. This will reduce the size to something the 350 can cope with, and once you're within this limit the 350 can do any additional scaling itself. You only need software scaling when the image is too large for the decoder on the 350. -- Ian ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ ivtv-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ivtv-devel
