Not sure what your problem is... I am running 7.2 (no tweaks necessary) on my Athlon (650 MHz) with a GeForce 2 MX which plays DVD's just fine with Xine... encrypted or otherwise.
Xine wouldn't play it at all. I used Ogle, which claims to work with encrypted DVD movies, it played it, but a little jerky.
You mention gears... what frame rate does gears report
Approx 480-628 FPS. (That's so high that I'm wondering what's going on with gears; this is normal?) Other 3D apps such as Tuxracer seem to work fine, incidentally.
That may be high for Quake, but gears uses no texturing or other features and has a very small viewport. I get similar results with a Matrox G450. That said, 3D and DVD have absolutely nothing to do with each other. I've seen great video and bad 3d on the same setup as well as vice-versa. The X extension you should be paying attention to is XV. I get the best DVD results using mplayer with the '-vo sdl' switch. SDL, in turn, uses the XV extension. I've even done this efficiently over NFS with a non-encrypted DVD. How cool is that? I couldn't figure out a way to do it for encrypted ones because of the necessary IOCTLs. Oh well. -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com
