With Liverforit-Mplayer-no-altivec and Mplayer-Gui
great playback with my test Xvid of 480x360 and composite output.
Video window can be resize up to to full screen size with no slowdown .
Fullscreen is great too. Due to the composite scaling performance seems better than Dvplayer .

Excellent that works so well on Sam440, that good news.

So my Mplayer is working fine on AmigaONE-X1000,Sam460,Sam440.

Not so good on AmigaONE-XE/SE/Mini/Pegasus II

So, is this newer version of Mplayer by Liveforit that we should use from now on, even if we don't have an Altivec enabled machine?

Here is what I've just posted on Amigans:

Quote:

Clearly, LiveForIt's Mplayer port has been heavily optimized for the AmigaONE X1000. And for those using a G4 Amiga-NG, LiveForIt's Mplayer port is also the one to be choosen (the faster with Altivec enabled and p96_pip corrected). But if you use a Sam440 with Radeon 9xxxx, Kas1e's MUI-Mplayer will be the fastest one with p96_pip (overlay). Anyway, ATM, LiveForIt's Mplayer is the only choice for those using RadeonHD thanks to the compositing renedering created by LiveForIt, waiting for it to be implemented in MUI-Mplayer.

@Spectre660

Are you able to do exactly the same test on SAM440 + R9250? I'm very curious how old GPU with overlay compares to modern one with composition...

unfotunately not.
My R9250 is busted.
Could you try it for me using the same video ? .
I can PM you with a link to the video that I used .
Or You can send me a link to a video to test .
The command line for the test would be
mplayer-no-altivec -nosound -benchmark -quiet -vo p96_pip yourvideo
mplayer-no-altivec -nosound -benchmark -quiet -vo comp yourvideo

@NutsAboutAmiga

On my Pegasos 2 with Radeon 9000 Pro your mplayer doesn't work (not the altivec version nor the general one): with the new gui when i start a video doesn't appear nothing and after half a second it stops (no grim reaper).
If I try to use mplayer via shell it still doesn't work and the shell say me that doesn't find pthread.library.

Mui-Mplayer works fine with my system: any suggestion?

Ah, i see, i have the mini-itx Sam and use the onboard M9, so i have no use of this version. Thank you for your replies

Thank you for this great work.

Of course if you can squeeze out any more optimization for Sam's
I will be even happier . . It needs a little more to play back a vob
without so much frame skip .

@videoplayback

Good DVD/blueray blayback is "only" nice to have IMHO. (separate players exist after all)
BUT, from my experience the television/dvd player built in SWs are poor, so, it would be nice if amigalike OSs + SW could one day be usable as SW for television/player HW.

+Note: being able to nicely playback vides from web is anyway essential for a desktop computer.

So, thank you everybody who make video playback smooth on Amigas!

The Peg 2 numbers looks reasonable given its "AGP" 1x bandwidth bus (266MB/s being the theoretical max bandwidth, right?). I assume this is a 1GHz 7447 in the test, since a Peg 2 with a 600Mhz 750GX usually scores around 130MB/s (124MiB/s) in VRAM transfer tests.

But why is the X1000 figures so low?

After all it has 16 PCI express lanes, each lane should give up to 250MB/s, which adds up to 4 GB/s of bandwidth. But the X1000 numbers above is only about 2x faster than a Peg 2. Why is that?
