Hello, I have noticed since starting to use Mac OS X 10.5 that Mplayer (both commandline compiled from SVN and "MPlayer OSX variants) that playing files in MPlayer causes a certain amount (perhaps proportional to the size of the file) of Memory to go into "Inactive" mode. This would be fine if the memory functioned as advertised and got allocated to programs that need it when "free" RAM runs out, but I find that it does not get reallocated. Thus if I open several video files in a row, each one adds to the "Inactive RAM" amount and at a certain point the entire computer (including MPlayer, since even it can't use this memory it tagged as "inactive") starts lagging because it has run out free memory and cannot access the inactive memory. I was wondering if anyone has found a way around this problem, and if not, whether someone knows enough about OS X development to perhaps point me in the right direction to look into perhaps making a patch to get MPlayer to only take RAM as "active" in OS X, since this all gets released by MPlayer once it quits. Thanks in advance for any replies. Josh
