4096 | 14 if you want to play files other than mpeg libmp1e should be = yes as well |

64 This can usually be left out (-vo dxr3). | |
65 Mandrake 8.1 uses devfs by default. If | |
66 you are running mandrake 8.1 please use | |
67 -vo dxr3:0 | |
68 <devicefile> Normally /dev/em8300_ma or | |

2770 | 74 MPEG-1, MPEG-2, VCD and DVD Notes |
4096 | 75 There are some important notes to take into account here for optimum playback. |
76 MPlayer currently does not autodetect that the dxr3 can playback mpegs. So for | |
77 mpeg files, dvd's and vcd's you have to add -vc mpegpes to tell mplayer that | |
78 you are using a hardware accelerator. Otherwise mplayer will decode the movie | |
79 in software, which is much slower. | |
80 Note that you cannot use -vc mpegpes with movies that aren't mpeg 1 or 2 or | |
81 you will get an error message saying "Can't find codec for video format...". | |
2646 | 82 |
4096 | 83 * If you run mplayer as root, or set userid root it will use your pc's internal |
84 realtime clockgenerator for syncing. (If your kernel supports it (It's | |
85 located in character devices and called "Enhanced realtime clock support")). | |
86 Some people report that this has improved playback (which it should), but | |
87 others have had problems with it. You will have to experiment yourself with | |
88 this to find your optimum setup. | |
