xine playback is jerky
I have been able to play DVDs on my testing-sid system until tonight, when I panicked and reinstalled xine: ii libxine1 1-beta9-1 the xine video/media player library, binary ii xine-ui0.9.21-2 the xine video player, user interface Now the video playback is jerky (although the sound is smooth). These are the last messages in the terminal window: load_plugins: plugin dxr3-spudec failed to instantiate itself. libspudec:init_plugin called liba52:No accelerated IMDCT transform found I use NVIDIA drivers. I've googled to no avail. Kevin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The warning I was talking about is the "This video is licensed for home use only, and the FBI will get you" warning. I hadn't missed it when I wasn't seeing it. On a DVD I've owned for a year (and watched many times) I got the "Interviews do not reflect the opinions of the studio" message, and I've never seen it before.

It must be that you do not have that xine-config script Install libxine-dev to get it and then you wont have those errors... Otherwise it seem to me that you are all set to enjoy your videos in a linux box. Now you should think on getting MPlayer and Freevo... MPlayer has a very nice GUI, that pops up form the bottom of the screen if you need it when playing in full screen mode... and Freevo is a TiVO/Media center replacement, uses MPlayer to play videos, and lets you organize your videos, record TV programs watch TV (just like TiVO)... although I have to admit that I havent tried those features yet. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
