 |
|
Hi
I already posted this on linuxquestions.org and as I didn't get any answers I am trying this as well here 
I have a small VIA Epia 8000 where videos are corrupted on the bands whenever I play files which have a resolution higher than ~800 horizontal pixels.
Did anybody ever have such problems? It looks like that a portion of the image gets partially mirrored in a a "kind" of interlaced "style" on the sides of the video window.
I am using the xvmc output to get a hardware accellerated video (mplayer -vo xv myvideo.avi). It doesn't matter if I play the video fullscreen or not. If I use "mplayer -vo x11 myvideo.avi" the video is not currupt, but I don't have hardware accelleration.
I am thinking it might be that something with the mpeg2 & mpeg4 accelleration does not work. Changed kernel, upgraded X, upgraded mplayer (tried as well Xine), upgraded ffmpeg, upgraded libXvMC but nothing changed. Perhaps the hardware accellerated chip was not created to handle such "high" resolutions?
