Re: [newbie] Why MPEGs are so slow??
Hi Nickolay! Aktion sucks for MPEG, try out MpegTV. It's on the fifth or sixth CD or available at www.mpegtv.com. It has to be registered ($10) to play the anims with sound, but it also has a command line version which offers sound, but no gui. Cheers! Hello! I tried to use aKtion to play my MPEG files, and the speed of playback is ~1fps. What is the reason of it? System: PIII-500, ASUS V3800TVR nVidia based card, XFree 3.3.6 Any suggestions?

Aktion isn't good at decoding mpg. I only use it to read .mov files. You should try the smpeg or mtv packages. HTH Flupke Nickolay Belostotsky wrote: Hello!

Re: [newbie] why is it so slow?
One does find that, doing the installation the way you have, it will be much slower than installing Mandrake onto an actual Linux partition. I think you'll find that most people do not use Ln4Wn at all - I certainly don't. The difference in the load time is so noticeable. I don't bother using themes as they are very memory hungry. I would suggest that you dump your present installation and do a re-install. Believe me when I say that a Mandrake installation onto a proper linux partition takes about 10 minutes. You'll think you've got a new machine. Regards John the Nadger On Sat, 01 Jan 2000, you wrote: I have installed the Ln4Wn from the Linux-Mandrake cd. The installation was no prob. But when I go into into the Xwindow enviroment, I find that everything seems so sluggish and slow. I have also installed StarOffice5.1 and the installation was a breeze event though it was also very slow. Despite this I have been using Linux for about two weeks now. Also another thing is sometimes my machine freeze when I am using Xwindow and Glax as theme.( I am using KDE by the way) So I did a little bit of testing between themes and I found out that when I am using Glax and numerous other themes and try to move any window box move horizontally 'SLOWLY', the machines will freeze. The only theme that doesnt't freeze my machine when I do this is the windowmaker."WHEN I SAY SLOWLY,I MEAN SLOWLY AND STEADY" Contrary to this, when I use win98 everything is quite fast and normal. So could anybody please explain to me why I am having this problem? Could it be that Xwindow is using way to much memory than is needed?
