    reencode it to MPEG it will fill the buffer very fast.<BR>
    With prebuffering video playback is <B>much</B> less sensitive to other
    programs hogging the CPU, it will not drop frames unless applications hog
    the CPU for a long time.<BR>
    When running without prebuffering the em8300 is much more sensitive to CPU
    load, so it is highly suggested that you turn on <B>MPlayer's</B>
    <CODE>-framedrop</CODE> option to avoid further loss of sync.<BR>
    <CODE>sync</CODE> will turn on the new sync-engine. This is currently an
    experimental feature. With the sync feature turned on the em8300's internal
    clock will be monitored at all times, if it starts to deviate from MPlayer's
    clock it will be reset causing the em8300 to drop any frames that are lagging

  not yet in the mainstream kernel. Currently the <B>mga_vid</B> module
  can't be used AFAIK, because the G450/G550 driver works only in one
  configuration: the first CRTC chip (with much more features) on the first
  display (on monitor), and the second CRTC (no <B>BES</B> - for explanation 
  on BES, please see the G400 section above) on TV. So you can only use
  <B>MPlayer's</B> <I>fbdev</I> output driver at the present.</P>

<P>The first CRTC can't be routed to the second head currently.
  The author of the kernel matroxfb driver - Petr Vandrovec - will maybe make
  support for this, by displaying the first CRTC's output onto both of the
  heads at once, as currently recommended for G400, see the section above.</P>
