DVD playing is what's slow. I use it on an SE.

I tried it under Linux and with the default settings it was just as slow as in
AOS.

So I changed to another gfx-driver and then it worked perfectly (speed-wise).

I don't know if that's related and I don't remember the name of the setting.

When playing ".wmv" files in MPlayer, there seems to be quite a bit of 'artifacting' compared to playing the same file on a pc.

Of course I can't complain. Before MPlayer I couldn't play wmv files AT ALL on my A1.

by afxgroup on 10-Feb-2005 10:04:52 @Valiant it is strange because there is no 'too many layers' message on mplayer.. this could depend from an os4 component. When you play DVDs try with: run >nil: -vo cgx_vmem -framedrop -dvd-device a1ide.device:x dvd://1 and tell me if you see something. If you see nothing it is probable that you have a unsupported dvd. But i'm not sure of this.

When I tried playing an encrypted DVD with MPlayer this is what I got:

@ikir

I think that overlay is what slows it down most. Like I wrote it was just as
slow under Linux using the default config. With the default config, overlay didn't
work. So I changed the video-settings, got overlay working, and DVD was working
like a dream (well, allmost (no menu)).

So even if DMA matters I think that overlay is the biggest problem.

@Toaks

Have a look in the folders. It seems like he's copied the fonts from the folders
to conf/fonts/ .

I haven't tried fonts at all yet.

@hotrod

Yep, I copied the files in the 14pt dir, just like the readme in the fonts archive says and it works.

Yes, I do. Why? Is there a problem with that?

@MattBullock

Wich Toaks didn't and that was my whole point.

@Valiant

No problem!
But one usually put the harddisc in the primary master.
And the DVD in the secondary master..
Or if only cable is available, on the primary slave.

I don't know if it has any speed difference during boot.

This is exactly the error that I reported a week or so ago (rossv said he encountered it as well it only happens on encrypted disks) , (my DVD is a samsung sm-374 on secondary master)
