The speed of playback is jumpy and the feel is like no enough CPU power? It go and stop for about 1/4 sec and continue (repeating in this way). I am using nvidia GF256/32mb with the updated nvidia kernel and driver installed.
Do you have DMA enabled on your DVD drive? [This is the most common cause of skippy DVD playback.] e.g., # cat /var/log/boot.msg | grep -i hdc <4> ide1: BM-DMA at 0xe008-0xe00f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:pio <4>hdc: Pioneer DVD-ROM ATAPIModel DVD-106S 012, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive # hdparm -d /dev/hdc /dev/hdc: using_dma = 1 (on) #
I am having problem on sound when using mplayer for DVD, VCD sound is ok. DVD on mplayer have the same problem, any way to help?
Could you give more substantial details, like what -kind- of sound problems on DVDs in mplayer? What audio output driver are you using? Run "mplayer -dvd" from the console and watch the messages... e.g., [....snip other mplayer output....] AO: [alsa9] 44100Hz 2ch Signed 16-bit (Little-Endian) (2 bps)
