I don't have the video card on this old machine that will really handle full motion video. Maybe one day I'll build a new machine that will have the video card and enough RAM to do such a thing. But for now as long as I can listen to my jazz stations, I'm a happy Linux camper.
I've played full screen XviD or x264s on a P3/450Mhz with an ATI Rage Pro AGP video card. Most hardware accelerated cards are MPEG2 specific, not MPEG4. Newer ones are, but I honestly don't know how much MPlayer can actually take advantage of them. My understanding is that it's mostly cpu decoding, and then it sends it out to the video card for playback. I've even played full motion video on a 2MB trident PCI card on a Xeon 2.8Ghz. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
