With vaapi I can watch 1080p movies without dropping a frame, without it I am lucky if I can watch 648x480 movies. But the problem is the subtitles. Some movies will play with a.s.s subtitle rendering, others will crash mplayer and only play with non-a.s.s. subtitle rendering, and others will crash mplayer with non-a.s.s. rendering. I haven't yet been able to find a pattern. I usually rip my dvd/br or record HD tv, then download the subtitles from the net, and very rarely re-sync them. The subtitles for Portuguese are usually encoded in latin1 or windows1251. Ah, and without vaapi enabled the same movies play without crashing, but with huge framedrop and slowness. Regards
