some other things: BIOS settings? can you change the amount of video memory? this is an eeepc netbook, right? what are the screen dimensions? are the video dimensions larger than your screen? if you use mencoder to reencode it to a smaller frame size, does it still crash? I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm being harsh, or asking for a lot, but imo, just because we're talking about a "multimedia" application, there's no extra excuses for not trying to understand the tools you're using. -- jake...@sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
