I can watch 720p without problems now, but when it comes to 1080p... the thing is impossible
Re: [arch-general] 1080p playback
Greetings, I managed to get it to work, thanks to your tips. Following the instructions in MPlayer's website [1], I built mplayer with ffmpeg-mt (multi-threaded ffmpeg). Playing 1080p movies with two threads (-lavdopts threads=2) they play as smooth as they can get. Meaning that even without a vdpau compatible card, a decent enough CPU (2,4 GHz in my case) plays 1080p without cutting down on quality. Thank you everyone, Paulo Santos [1] http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/news.html

It's a shame that such a good card can't be used for at least a bit of processing. I haven't tried Pierre's advice yet (thank you, by the way) because somehow I screwed up my mplayer. Once I get it to work again I'll give some feedback. I must be able to play 1080p on this kind of computer or I'll cry. It's only 2,5 years old. Best regards and thanks for the replies, Paulo Santos

Maybe some kind of patch to mplayer that makes it > use both cores or something... No need to patch mplayer for that. Try using: mplayer -lavdopts fast:skiploopfilter=nonkey:threads=2 -- Pierre 'catwell' Chapuis
