Usually on dualhead the vsync is > hard to get.. Oh, oh...some mails ago I got a hint to disable all VSYNCs in the nvidia settings... So...using -vo xv gives me the fastest (read: normal speed) video with audio and video in sync. Other drivers result in the message that my two core 3800+ AMD CPU is to slow....(?) My gra?hics card is ai nVidia Corporation G73 [GeForce 7600 GT] (rev a2) which run with the current nvidia drivers on a Linux box. I myself and my computer each uses only one head ;) Most of the time I use my own... ;) ;) I disabled AutoTwinDevice in the Xorg.conf as I did with TwindDevice (dont remember the correct names of that parameters, but was something like that.). Since 60Hz is common for LCD I am asking myself, whether I am the only one having problems with playing 25Hz/region 2 contents...?! Since it also happens for example with the fight scene Neo<->Agent Smith in Matrix Revolutions (DVD, region 2) I think, it is not a bug in the video itsself.... I am a little (read: very) frustrated, since this monitor is new and I like its colors and features, but... So any help to circumvent this problem is *very* appreciated! :O) Have a flicker-free evening! :O)) Best regards, mcc > Daniel > > > _______________________________________________ > MPlayer-users mailing list > MPlayer-users at mplayerhq.hu > https://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/mplayer-users > -- Please don't send me any Word- or Powerpoint-Attachments unless it's absolutely neccessary. - Send simply Text.
