My observations are the same: xine needs a lot more CPU to play hd content. Nevertheless I fried your ffmpeg paramters and beside the need to patch fourcc for me, it is not better. Even worse: I suggest using xvid, as picture quality is worse with ffmpeg's codec for me. Interesting that your athlon64 has so much more horses than my miserable xp - even though my XP should have a higher clock rate than your cpu. :-( Or are you hw accelerating your output? Ie I only have a geforce4 ti4200 which cannot do idct and even gets slower when doing mc. Are using a 32 bit or 64 bit os? Cheers -- Prakash Punnoor formerly known as Prakash K.
