Check the config file, if you don't specify a video output device with the - -vo option, it defaults to the one listed in that file. It's in /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf. Options in ~/.mplayer/config override the global config file. Using the config file for defaults avoids having to remember the multiple command line switches that are possible. Have you tried using the -xy option? I have an MPEG that when played displays in about a 3x3 inch window. 'mplayer -xy 2 file' doubles the display size. The movie, by the way, is a funny animated clip.

Performance is at least as much a function of processor speed and video hardware as memory. How did you install mplayer? Self compiled, or RPM package? There are a _lot_ of compile time options for mplayer. I used the source rpm package from here: http://mirrors.sctpc.com/dominik/linux/pkgs/mplayer/ edited the spec file to include different options (like Arts sound server support), and rebuilt the rpms. Then, when the build failed, I fixed the file list in the spec file, and built them again. ;) The default config options in the spec file would have worked on my machine, but were far from optimal. - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9vJhZn/07WoAb/SsRAkFaAKCwIg0x+wvRAcwKsLy3sO3rRehICQCdGKQK +4MMDcK9iFqJmdWpuQaffS4= =64hf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
