Look for "video.output.disable_scaling" in the config file.

Hi,

I tried with the -D option and the effect went away, but then the
speed is very much reduced.
The box is a Semron 2.4 GHz.
How do you all handle this?
I handle it by simply setting the aspect ratio in Xine to "square" so that  
the interlacing is correcly sent to my TV, but of course that requires  
that your TV can show both 4:3 and 16:9 content.

I think you can also turn on the "never scale" option but I can't remember  
where it is.

Re: [mythtv-users] DVD sing xine on PVR-350 TV out?

[Joe Votour]

When I was using the PVR-350 for my TV-Out, I did the
de-interlacing (-D), and lived with the dropped
frames.  Xine was saying that they were being dropped,
but I wasn't really noticing it.

This was on an Athlon XP 2400+.

Too bad there is no alternative for playing DVD with the PVR350 output.
I've tried mplayer with ivtv, but did not work for me.

This is for me the only remaing issue.

Your command works much better.

xine -f -I -V xshm --audio-driver alsa --no-logo --no-splash dvd://

SVCD files a playing very well. Better than mplayer, because the sound is

is there a way to get xine to use the 350's decoder?  or does that only
