Kerry,

the video is
512 x 256 rendered from Mediacleaner with charger, defualt settings pretty
much?
30 fps

maybe the size is the problem, the sample 320x240 mpeg with the demo plays
fine?

Tom

It really doesn't have much to do with the Media player, I think. You just
need an Mpeg driver compatible with DirectMedia.

I used DirectMedia on a PIII 300 2-3 years ago, and it worked fine for both
Mpeg 1 and Mpeg 2 video.

It's hard to compare Mpeg and Sorenson--there are more relevant issues.
What is the frame rate? What size is the video (smaller will generally play
better than big). Do you have a lot of key frames? What other processes are
running?

I don't know what the "unknown error" might be--I'd need more information.
You could check with the Tabuleiro tech support folks--they're real helpful.

Cordially,

Kerry Thompson
