JH> You can try different values there.
I will tray that thing when i come to home,

JH> So you have two problems:
JH> 1) some videos *do play*, but are jerky
JH> 2) some videos doesn't play at all

JH> Correct?
JH> Please set DEBUG="true" and USERDEF="" in mplayer.sh.conf and post the
JH> output when playing one of the videos where the screen stays black.
DEBUG="true" and USERDEF="" are already in mplayer.sh.conf
i setup there also line USERDEF="-subpos 80"
and all movie can play truth dvb but some:
Have good vide/audio (but sometime video/audio start slowing)
Some moive play balck/white format and when i press menu on remote the
meny is olso black till i stop that moive,

JH> Check wether the harddrives/cdrom are using DMA:
JH> hdparm -v /dev/hda (and so on for the other drives)
JH> Look for "using_dma". If it's not "1", try to set it with
JH> hdparm -d1 /dev/hda
I will check for DMA on harddrives/cdrom but i think that DMA is
enable(1)


JH> Viewing a video on the X11 desktop or via DVB are two different things.
JH> First, there are different output devices.
JH> Second, for X11 the video has just to be decoded and displayed. This

JH> For DVB the video has to be decoded and then *encoded* as MPEG1 on the

I know that playing on X11 desktop and truth DVB are diference but i
sey that only to know that moive that is truth DVB is black/white and
on X11 is color so i gues the xvid is good, nothing else just check
the movie is it ok.

And thnx will tray your option when back to home.
Cheers,
