Hi all, When I use mplayer to play 720p (HD file) movie, it flickers so much with the following message. What to do to make the movie playing smoothly? ango $ mplayer p1000155.mov MPlayer dev-SVN-r27514-4.3.2 (C) 2000-2008 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.40GHz (Family: 15, Model: 3, Stepping: 3) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled with runtime CPU detection. mplayer: bad file format, /home/mythtv/.lircrc:398 Failed to read LIRC config file ~/.lircrc.

Try some of the lavdopts, e.g. -vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts lowres=1:fast:skiploopfilter=all. - Broken file - Try various combinations of -nobps -ni -forceidx -mc 0. - Slow media (NFS/SMB mounts, DVD, VCD etc) - Try -cache 8192. - Are you using -cache to play a non-interleaved AVI file? - Try -nocache. Read DOCS/HTML/en/video.html for tuning/speedup tips. If none of this helps you, read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html.
