To get overlay run dxr3view that comes with the em8300 package before
starting MPlayer. You can set various options in dxr3view by pressing

while holding the mouse cursor above the window.

MPEG1/2 content should now automatically be detected by MPlayer and
- it will use the hardware acceleration of the DXR3 to play it. If not, you can
- force it to hardware acceleration with -vc mpegpes
. Also, if you
- plan to use postprocessing filters you must use -vc mpeg12
.
In some instances, subtitles may not appear properly in sync with the A/V
- stream when using hardware decoding (-vc mpegpes
). This is a
- known bug. The em8300 will also improperly handle subtitles that are too big,
- and may hang for a second or two. At this time, the only workaround is to use
- -vc mpeg12
when viewing DVDs with subtitles. When running with
- -vc mpeg12
MPlayer will reencode video to MPEG (even if it
- already is MPEG). This means that it will need more CPU power, and you might
- loose some picture quality.
