Of course, if mplayer uses XVideo and VLC plain X11, this is like comparing oranges and apples. Video over SSH should be slow anyway, due to bandwidth constraints, and CPU-hungry encryption. Anyway, I have no further ideas other than stepping through the VLC code and I cannot test this myself so I have to leave it there. -- Rémi Denis-Courmont http://www.remlab.net/ _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
