  <DT>Q: How can I run MPlayer in the background?</DT>

<H2><A NAME="playback">5.3 Playback problems</A></H2>

  <DT>Q: The audio/video gets totally out of sync when I run MPlayer as root on
    my notebook. It works normal when i run it as a user.</DT>
  <DD>A: This is again a power management effect (see above). Plug the external
    power connector in <B>before</B> you power on your notebook or use the
    <CODE>-nortc</CODE> option.</DD>

  <DD>A: Try that <CODE>x11</CODE> target again. Now try
    <CODE>-vo x11 -fs -zoom</CODE>. See the difference? No?! OK, here comes the
    enlightenment: SDL's <CODE>x11</CODE> target uses xv when available, you
    don't have to worry about it ... Note: you can force/disable Xv via SDL
    using <CODE>-forcexv</CODE> and <CODE>-noxv</CODE></DD>

<H2><A NAME="dvd">5.5 DVD playback</A></H2>

  <DT>Q: My DVD playback is sluggish!</DT>
  <DD>A: Use the <CODE>-cache</CODE> option (described in the man page)
    and try enabling DMA for the DVD drive with the hdparm tool (described in
    the <A HREF="cd-dvd.html#cd">CD chapter</A> of the documentation).</DD>
