In what way do those options not do what I expect? Do they not enable dca, freetype, vdpau and v4l, and allow mencoder to encode to x264? Can you clarify what speed has to do with this as well? With vo=xv, the CPU has to do all decoding, and manages it just fine. I would have thought even more capacity would be available when I offload all the decoding. Thanks Tom
