im not too sure then, it probably needs a recompile. i'd love to muck around with this more but since i got exams soon, it'll have to wait

it could be you graphics card thats giving you hassle as well, since its using directx, im getting perfect playback on my mchine, even with pp turned on to 4, i still get only about 70% cpu usage on my machine. (1.8ghz p4 oc'd 2.4ghz, radeon 7500)

millekink Registered User Join Date: Mar 2002 Location: Belgium Posts: 16	100% cpu problem I also tried to play a movie with mplayer on a pIII 800 and it worked. Mplayer runned at 100% but the movie played without hassle. I didn't had time to use the -vo directx option. On my AMD Xp 2200+ I also have 100%. I find it very strage. Is the source of this mplayer for windows the same as the source for the linux version? Can I find info about this mplayer version on the original mplayer site? (I searched but couldn't find it). It's realy nice to see this program in windows. If the 100% bug gets fixed I'll use it as standard player. Thnx Mille

but to get RV9 working you need to go the experimental codecs page, and download the RV9 codecs for win32 (the linux version doesnt work for windows) decompress and place in your codecs directory and it should work.

so far i've had good experiences with the windows version, its almost as polished as its *nix counterpart, apart from the odd errors here and there.

That's great news.
could u pls give detailed instructions?
(exact file name that you downladed, exact location/names of the directories you created locally (absolute paths please), etc)

thanks

kilg0r3 ! - User - ! Join Date: Nov 2001 Posts: 1,081	does anybody besides me have a problem with jerky playback (probabely not decoded b-frames)? And, i get screen tearing. Doesn't it use overlay? on my system mplayer uses reasonable amounts of cpu depending on the clip res etc. __________________ Keep your tone warm and your sigs decent!

((( atom ))) noise is all around us... Join Date: Nov 2001 Location: - deep within - Posts: 466	i had some problems with jerkyness as well. i think, it is due to cpu-usage, since not decoded bframes usually show up and tall "b-frame decoder lag / missing b-frame" or somethink like it. cpu is anyway at its limit, wich should surely will be solveable in the near future. under linux i can play mpeg4 any size with a pentiumII 233. mplayer decoding will not use different decoding-techniques under windows. __________________ ((( atom )))

My cpu usage is around 60-70%. So, I don't think this is the problem.

sure, i'll get together the links that i got for the "codec packs" and put together a few instructions tonight after i get back from college. rv9 playback is rather nice with mplayer. i'm also going to try to compile my own executable later on as well and see how that goes.

Join Date: Nov 2001 Location: - deep within - Posts: 466	@kilg0r3, hmm, sorry then.. is your screen refresh-rate any multiple of your video fps? since mplayer is no frontend for directshow as most of the other players, it should actually be very independent from all those a/v syncing and stuttering problems direct show introduced, but who knows, maybe there are similar problems with it under windows. but i might be wrong here.. __________________ ((( atom )))

vinks Registered User Join Date: Mar 2002 Location: Dublin (Ireland) Posts: 43	here is the url to get the rv9 codecs for mplayer http://www.mplayerhq.hu/~alex/codecs...codecs.tar.bz2 get the above file and the windows version of mplayer from the start of the this thread, either one will do. then decompress the files from rp9win32codecs.tar.bz2, then move these files to "codecs/" which is in the same directory that the mplayer.exe executable is. its a pretty simple process. then mplayer will then play be able to play rv9 files. http://www.mplayerhq.hu/~alex/codecs/index.html has a few other codecs for mplayer (some of the linux versions of the codecs dont work for the windows version of mplayer) (also www.7-zip.org the program here can decompress .bz2 compressed files for those who are having problems decompressing these files)
