It could be interlacing. What graphics card have you got? Only certain Matrox cards can handle interlacing correctly. I haven't managed to get df_xine or fbxine working properly with mine though. If you've got a fast CPU (ISTM you need about 1.5GHz or better) try enabling xine's deinterlace filter. -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk
