Instead we are now using + libmp1e which is a modified version of mp1e. + +2001-11-29: Thanks to Felix Buenemann I managed to + optimize the odivx playback as well as add + support for the rest of the codecs! + +2001-11-28: ffmpeg replaced with mp1e, divx playback + won't get much faster than this, huge thanks + goes out to Ivan Kalvachev for helping me + fix the final mp1e bugs (and contributing + to the libvo2 development) + +1. Introduction + +The DXR3 and Hollywood+ are two not too different mpeg-(1/2) and ac3 +hardware playback cards that came at about the same time as the first +dvd-rom drives hit the market. At that time most computers weren't +powerful enough for synced software dvd playback. And even the faster +(intel-based) computers had troubles with artifacts. +Sigma Designs came up with the great idea to create a hardware +mpeg-(1/2), ac3 decoder. Sigma Designs are known for their realmagic +hardware (or they bought the company who came up with the first +realmagic boards, I don't know which). +Later Creative Labs thought, hey, we also wan't this product, and to +distribute it with our dvd-drives (the DVD Encore packages if I recall +correctly). So they bought the designs for the Hollywood plus and +replaced the circuit used to produce a proper video feed for tv's +called adv7170 or adv7175a depending on which h+ board you own with +a bt865. The reason for this is beyond my understanding as this seems +complete illogical to me, but I have had great experiences with +bt(brooktree) circuits in the past, so I don't mind. +Well, nowadays most people have no use for a mpeg-(1/2) or ac3 +hardware decoder since most computers these days have no problem doing +this in software and have cycles left for posprocessing (removing of +artefacts and other garbage produced by compression). +These days, you have two uses for this card: +1. You have a slow computer which you use for vcd/dvd playback +2. You discover what I have done with the implementation of this as + an audio/video output device for mplayer (read on and you'll find + out). + + + +2. Requirements + + * First of all you will need the DXR3/H+ drivers properly installed. + Version 0.9.0 or later + + * Run <mplayerdir>/configure and make sure that DXR3/H+ support = yes + + From here on compilation (of at least my code ;) should go without any + problems. + + + +3. Usage + +After installation you will have two new outdevices in mplayer: + -vo dxr3 For video output + -ao dxr3 For audio output + +MPEG-1, MPEG-2, VCD and DVD Notes +There are some notes to take into account here for optimum playback. +When playing any mpeg-(1/2) file, this including usage of the "-dvd" +and "-vcd" options you must either add the "-vc mpegpes" or edit +codecs.conf and make sure videocodec mpegpes is listed above mpeg12. +If you fail to do this you will only get software playback which kinda +spoils most of the useful features of this card except for tv-out ;). +Remember that if you edit the codecs.conf file and move the mpegpes +section will have to specify "-vc mpeg12" if you want to playback +any of these video types _without_ "-vo dxr3"! + +DIVX Notes +When playing divx's add "-vc odivx" for maximum performance. +I've switched to mp1e from ffmpeg so it should be lightning fast now. + +Other codecs: +No "-vc <codec>" switches should be required as mplayer will autodetect. +If you find an unsupported codec please contact me! + +* Avoid running mplayer as root or setuid root as rtc timing seems to + slow down playback on the dxr3 for some users. I will look into this + at a later point as this hardly qualifies as a severe bug * + + + +4. Contacting me + +You can contact me either by e-mailing me, <dholm@iname.com> or by using +icq: 798427 +Feedback, bugreports and general suggestions are appreciated (preferably +by e-mail).

Example (from +<A HREF="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/tech/mpsub.sub">DOCS/tech/mpsub.sub</A>) : +</P> + +<P><CODE><I> +# first number : wait this much after previous subtitle disappeared<BR> +# second number : display the current subtitle for this many seconds<BR> +<BR> +15 3<BR> +A long, long time ago...<BR> +<BR> +0 3<BR> +in a galaxy far away...<BR> +<BR> +0 3<BR> +Naboo was under an attack.<BR> +</I></CODE></P> + +<P>So you see, the main goal was to <B>make subtitle editing/timing/joining/cutting easy</B>. And, +if you - say - get an SSA subtitle but it's badly timed/delayed to your +version of the movie, you simply do a <I>mplayer dummy.avi -sub source.ssa +-dumpmpsub</I> . A <CODE>dump.mpsub</CODE> file will be created in the +current directory, which will contain the source subtitle's text, but in +<B>MPsub</B> format. Then you can freely add/substract seconds to/from the +subtitle.</P> + +<P>Subtitles are displayed with a technique called <B>'OSD', On Screen Display</B>. +OSD is used to display current time, volume bar, seek bar etc.</P> + +<P><B>INSTALACJA OSD i SUB</B></P> + +<P>You need an <B>MPlayer</B> font package to be able to use OSD/SUB feature. +There are many ways to get it: +<UL> + +<LI>download ready-to-use font packages from <B>MPlayer</B> site. +Note: currently available fonts are limited for iso 8859-1/2 support, +and there are a few special versions for korean, russian etc codepages. +Font should have appropriate font.desc file which maps unicode font +positions to the actual code page of the subtitles text.

Ripped DVDs + are mostly rescaled, for example a 4:3 DVD should be 640x480, especially + when you want it to fit to 1 CD, and have good quality at the same time. + SVCDs have 480x480 size, and their header contains the aspect ratio the + player should use (Ex.: 480x480 + 4:3 = 640x480). However when encoding to + AVI (DivX) files, you have be aware that AVI headers don't store this + value. Thus, the only solution is rescaling.</P> + +<P>The output size is specified with the <CODE>-x</CODE>, and <CODE>-y</CODE> + options. Furthermore, there are 3 rescaling filters in <B>MEncoder</B>, <I>0 + : fast 1 : bilinear</I>, <I>2 : bilinear</I>, <I>bicubic</I> (best quality). + They can be specified with the <CODE>-sws</CODE> option.

When people see a file with +<B>.AVI</B> extension, they instantly declare that isn't an MPEG file. +That's not true. At least not entirely. If you tell them that such a file +can contain MPEG1 video, they laugh at you.

Though most players won't play it, since +they expect MPEG1 video and MP2 audio (<B>.MPG</B> doesn't have the +necessary fields to describe its video and audio streams, like <B>.AVI</B> +does). Or put MPEG1 video to an .AVI. For example <A HREF="http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net">ffmpeg</A> can +create these files.</P> + +<P>Audio <B>codecs</B> and <B>formats</B> are basically the same terms.</P> + + +<P><B><A NAME=2.1.1>2.1.1.

Contains +MPEG1 video, and MP2 (MPEG-1 layer 2) audio, or rarely MP1.</LI> +<LI>DAT : this is the very same format as MPG, just different extension. Used +on <B>Video CD</B>s. Due to the nature VCDs are created and Linux is designed, +the DAT files can't be played nor copied from VCDs. You have to use the +<CODE>-vcd</CODE> option to play the VideoCD.</LI> +<LI>VOB : this is the MPEG file format on <B>DVD</B>s. The same as MPG, plus +capability to contain subtitles, or non-MPEG (AC3) audio. Contains encoded MPEG2 +video, and usually AC3 audio, but MP2 is allowed too.<BR> +<B>Read the <A HREF="cd-dvd.html#4.2">DVD section</A> !</B></LI> +</P> + +<P>In MPEG files, series of frames are grouped together, and are independent +from the other groups. What this means is you can cut/join an MPEG file with +standard file-tools (like dd, cut), and it remains completely functional.</P> + +<P>One important feature for MPGs is that they have a field to describe +the aspect ratio of the video stream within. For example SVCDs have +480x480 resolution video, and in the header that field is set to 4:3, so +it's played at 640x480. AVI files don't have this field, so one has to +rescale it during encoding.</P> + + +<P><B><A NAME=2.1.1.2>2.1.1.2. AVI files</A></B></P> + +<P>Designed by Micro$oft, the <B>AVI (Audio Video Interleaved)</B> is a +widespread multipurpose format, currently used mostly for DivX and DivX4 +videos. Has many known drawbacks, and inabilities (for example in streaming). +Has support for one video stream, and 99 audio streams. Can be as big as +2Gb. There exists an extension for it to be bigger, called <B>OpenDMS</B>. +M$ currently strongly discourages its use and propagates ASF/WMV. Not if +anybody cares.<BR> +<B>NOTE</B> : DV cameras can create two types of AVI format, one is the usual and +playable, the other is neither.</P> + +<P>There are two kinds of AVI files: +<UL> + <LI><B>Interleaved</B> : audio and video content is interleaved. This is the + standard usage. Recommended and mostly used. Some tools create interleaved + AVIs with bad sync. <B>MPlayer</B> detects these as interleaved, and this + climaxes in loss of A/V sync, probably at seeking. These files should be + played as non-interleaved (with the <CODE>-ni</CODE> option).</LI> + <LI><B>Non-interleaved</B> : bad. First come the whole video stream, then the whole + audio stream, thus needs a lot of seeking. It's very bad when playing from + network or CDROM.</LI> +</UL> +</P> + +<P>MPlayer supports 2 kind of timing for AVI files: +<UL> + <LI><B>bps-based</B> : it is based on bitrate/samplerate of video/audio stream. This + method is used by most players, including avifile and windows media player. + Files with broken headers, and files created with VBR audio but not + VBR-compliant encoder will result in A/V desync with this method (mostly at + seeking).</LI> + <LI><B>interleaving-based</B> : it doesn't use bitrate value of the header, instead + it uses the relative position of interleaved audio and video chunks. Makes + some badly encoded file with VBR audio playable.</LI> +</UL> +</P> + +<P>Any audio and video codec is allowed, but note that VBR audio isn't well +supported by most of the players. The file format makes it possible to use VBR +audio, but most players expect CBR audio, thus they fail with VBR. VBR is +unusual, and Microsoft's AVI specs only describe CBR audio. I also note, that +most AVI encoders/multiplexers create bad files if using VBR audio. Only 2 +exception (known by me): NaNDub and <A HREF="encoding.html">MEncoder</A>.</P> + + +<P><B><A NAME=2.1.1.3>2.1.1.3.

They developed two +variants of ASF, v1.0 and v2.0. v1.0 is used by their media tools (windows +media player and windows media encoder) and is very secret. v2.0 is published +and patented :). Of course they differ, there is no compatibility at all (it's +just another legal game). <B>MPlayer</B> supports only v1.0, as nobody has ever seen +v2.0 files :) . Note, that .ASF files nowdays come with the extension .WMA or +.WMV.</P> + + +<P><B><A NAME=2.1.1.4>2.1.1.4. QuickTime/MOV files</A></B></P> + +<P>These are from Macintosh. Usually have extensions of .QT or .MOV . Note +that since the MPEG4 Group chose QuickTime as the recommended file format +for MPEG4, their .MOV files come with .MPG or .MP4 extension (interesting +that in these files the video stream is a real .MPG file. With the +<CODE>-dumpvideo</CODE> option you can even extract it.).</P> + +<P><B>Codecs</B>: any codecs allowed, both CBR and VBR. Note: most new mov files use +<B>Sorenson</B> video and QDesign Music audio. These formats are completely +secret, and only Apple's quicktime player is able to play these files (on +win/mac only).</P> + + +<P><B><A NAME=2.1.1.5>2.1.1.5. VIV files</A></B></P> + +<P><B>MPlayer</B> happily demuxes VIVO file formats. The format's big +disadvantage is that it has no index block, nor fixed packetsize or sync bytes, +and most files lack even keyframes, so forget seeking!</P> + +<P>VIVO/1.0 files' video codec is standard <B>h.263</B> . The VIVO/2.0 files' +video codec is a modified, nonstandard <B>h.263</B> .

It plays most MPEG, AVI and ASF/WMV files, +supported by many native and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch VideoCD, +SVCD, DVD and even DivX movies too (and you don't need the avifile library +at all!). The another big feature of mplayer is the wide range of +supported output drivers. It works with X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, +fbdev, AAlib, but you can use SDL (and this way all drivers of SDL) and +some lowlevel card-specific drivers (for Matrox, 3Dfx and Radeon) too! +Most of them supports software or hardware scaling, so you can enjoy +movies in fullscreen. And what about the nice big antialiased shaded +subtitles (7 supported types!!!) with european/ISO 8859-1,2 (hungarian, +english, czech, etc), cyrillic, korean fonts, and OSD? +.LP +.SH "GENERAL OPTIONS" +.TP +.I NOTE +Every "flag" option has "noflag" pair, e.g. -fs opposite is -nofs +.TP +.B \-gui +start MPlayer with the GUI mode. You have to compile it in, for details +see the documentation. +.TP +.B \-dvd\ titleid +tell MPlayer which movies (marked with titleid) to play. For example +sometimes '1' are trailers, and '2' is the real movie. +.TP +.B \-sid\ id +Turns on DVD subtitle displaying. Also, you MUST specify a number which +corresponds to a DVD subtitle language (1-...). For the list of available +subtitles, use with the -v switch and look at the output. (EXPERIMENTAL) +.TP +.B \-chapter\ chapterid +specify which chapter to start playing at. Examples can be found below. +.TP +.B \-dvdangle\ angleid +some DVD discs contain scenes that can be viewed from multiple angles. +Here you can tell MPlayer which angles to use. Examples can be found below. +.TP +.B \-vo\ <driver>[:<device>] +select video output driver and optinaly device.

For example '-skin fittyfene' tries these : + + /usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin/fittyfene + ~/.mplayer/Skin/fittyfene +.TP +.B \-aspect ratio +set aspect ratio of movies. It's autodetected on MPEG files, and can't be +autodetected on AVI files. Examples: + + -aspect 4:3 or -aspect 1.3333 + -aspect 16:9 or -aspect 1.7777 + +(has -noaspect pair) +.TP +.B \-monitoraspect ratio +set aspect ratio of your screen. Examples: + + -monitoraspect 4:3 or 1.3333 + -monitoraspect 16:9 or 1.7777 + +.TP +.B \-playlist <file> +play files according to this filelist (1 file/row). +.TP +.B \-slave +This option switches on slave mode. This is intended for use +of MPlayer as a backend to other programs. Instead of intercepting keyboard +events, MPlayer will read simplistic command lines from its stdin. +See section +.B SLAVE MODE PROTOCOL +for the syntax. +.IP +.SH "ADVANCED OPTIONS" +.TP +.I NOTE +These options can help you solve your particular problem..

This means that you can even +have shaped windows if your X server has the XShape extension. + + +<h3><a name="parts">2.3 Parts of a skin</a></h3> + +Skins are quite free-format (unlike the fixed-format skins of +Winamp/XMMS, for example), so it is up to you to create something great. + +<p> +Currently there are three windows to be decorated: the +<a href="#mainwin">main window</a>, the <a href="#subwindow">subwindow</a> and +the <a href="#skinmenu">skin menu</a> (which can be activated by a right +click). + +<ul> +<li> +The <b>main window</b> is where you can control MPlayer. The background of +the window is an image. Various items can (and must) be +placed in the window: <em>buttons</em>, <em>potmeters</em> (sliders, if +you like it better) and <em>labels</em>. For every item, you must +specify its position and size. + +<p> +A <b>button</b> has three states (pressed, released, +disabled), so its image must be divided into three parts vertically. +See the <a href="#main.button">button</a> item for details. +<p> +A <b>potmeter</b> (mainly used for the seek bar and volume/balance +control) can have any number of phases by dividing its image into different +parts below each other. +See <a href="#main.hpotmeter">hpotmeter</a> and +<a href="#main.potmeter">potmeter</a> for details. + +<p> +<b>Labels</b> are a bit special: the characters needed to draw them are taken +from an image file, and the characters in the image are described +by a <a href="#fonts">font description file</a>. +The latter is a plain text file which specifies +the x,y position and size of each character in the image. (So the +image file and its font description file form a font <em>together</em>.) +See <a href="#main.dlabel">dlabel</a> and <a href="#main.slabel">slabel</a> +for details. + +<p> +<em class=note> +<b>Note:</b> all images can have full transparency as described in the +section about <a href="#images">image formats</a>. +</em> +</li> + +<li> +The <b>subwindow</b> is where the movie appears. It can display a specified +image if there is no movie loaded (it is quite boring to have an empty +window :-)) +<em class=note><b>Note:</b> transparency +is <b>not allowed</b> here.</em> +</li> + +<li> +The <b>skin menu</b> is just a way to control MPlayer by means of +menu entries. Two images are required for the menu: one of them is the base +image that shows the menu in its normal state, the other one is used to +display the selected entries. When you pop up the menu, the first image is +shown. If you move the mouse over the menu entries, the currently selected +entry is copied from the second image over the menu entry below the mouse +pointer.

The +best of them was 2.95.3 . Please note the style of the version numbering. +This is how the GCC team numbers their compilers. The 2.95 series are good. +We never ever saw anything that was miscompiled because of the 2.95's faultiness.</P> + +<P>The <I>action</I> : <B>RedHat</B> started to include a GCC version of <B>2.96</B> +with their distributions. Note the version numbering. This should be the GCC +team's versioning. They patched the CVS version of GCC (something between 2.95 and 3.0) +They patched it very deep, and used this version in the distrib because 3.0 +wasn't out at time, and they wanted IA64 support ASAP (business reasons). +Oh, and GCC 2.95 miscompiles bash on the s390 architecture (there is +no RedHat distribution for s390..) .</P> + +<P>The <I>facts</I> : <B>MPlayer</B>'s compile process needs the +<CODE>--disable-gcc-checking</CODE> to proceed upon detecting a GCC version of +2.96 (apparently it needs this option on <B>egcs</B> too. It's because we don't +test <B>MPlayer</B> on egcs. Pardon us, but we rather develop <B>MPlayer</B>). +If you know <B>MPlayer</B>, you should know that it has great speed. It +achieves this by having overoptimized MMX/SSE/3DNow/etc codes, fastmemcpy, and +lots of other features. <B>MPlayer</B> contained MMX/3DNow instructions in a +syntax that all Linux compilers accept it... except RedHat's GCC (it's more +standard compliant). It simply <B><I>skips</I></B> them. It doesn't give +errors. It doesn't give warnings. <B>And</B>, there is Lame. With gcc 2.96, its quality check +(<CODE>make test</CODE> after compiling) <I>doesn't even run !!!</I> +But hey, it compiles bash on s390 and IA64.</P> + +<P>The <I>statements</I> : most developers around the world begun having +bad feelings about RedHat's GCC 2.96 , and told their RedHat users to +compile with other compiler than 2.96 . RedHat users' disappointment slowly +went into anger. What was all good +for, apart from giving headaches to developers, putting oil on anti-RedHat +flame, confusing users? The answer, I do not know.</P> + +<P><I>Present age, present time</I> : RedHat says that GCC 2.96-85 and above +is fixed, and works properly. Note the versioning. They should have started +with something like this. What about GCC 2.96.85 ? It doesn't matter now. +I don't search, but I still see bugs with 2.96 . It doesn't matter now, +hopefully now <B>RedHat will forget about 2.96</B> and turn towards <B>3.0</B>. +Towards a deep patched 3.0... +</P> + +<P><I>What I don't understand</I> is why are we hated by RedHat users for +putting warning messages, and stay-away documents in <B>MPlayer</B> . +Why are we called "brain damaged", "total asshole", "childish" by +<B>RedHat users</B>, on our mailing list, and even on the <B>redhat-devel</B> . +They even considered forking <B>MPlayer</B> for themselves. RedHat users. +Why? It's RedHat that made the compiler, why do <U>you</U> have to hate us? +Are you <U>that</U> fellow RedHat worshippers? Please stop it. We don't hold +a grudge against users, doesn't matter how loud you advertise its contrary. +Please go flame Linus Torvalds, the DRI developers (oh, now I know why +there were laid off by VA!), the Wine, avifile. Even if we are arrogant, +are we not the same as the previously listed ones? Why do <B>we</B> have +to suffer from your unrightful wrath?</P> + +<P>I'm closing this topic. Think over it please. I (Gabucino) personally begun +with <A HREF="http://www.redhat.com">RedHat</A>, then used Mandrake (sorry I +don't know their URL), now I have <A +HREF="http://www.linuxfromscratch.com">LFS</A>. Never held a grudge against +RedHat or RedHat users, and I still don't. Hate is only comfortable. It +won't bring you anywhere.</P> + +<P><B><I>Binary distribution of MPlayer</I></B></P> + +<P>Tons of users asked us about this. For example Debian users tend to say: Oh, +I can <CODE>apt-get install avifile</CODE>, why should I <B>compile MPlayer</B> ? +While this may sound reasonable, the problem lies a bit deeper than +those-fuckin-MPlayer-developers-hate-gcc-2.96-and-RedHat-and-Debian.</P> + +<P>Reasons: <B>Law</B></P> + +<P><B>MPlayer</B> describes the <U>sourcecode</U>. It contains several files with incompatible +licenses especially on the redistribution clauses. As source files, they are +allowed to coexist in a same project.</P> + +<P>Therefore, <U>NEITHER BINARIES NOR BINARY PACKAGES OF <B>MPlayer</B> ARE ALLOWED TO EXIST SINCE +SUCH OBJECTS BREAK LICENSES</U>. PEOPLE WHO DISTRIBUTE SUCH BINARY PACKAGES ARE +DOING ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES.</P> + +<P>So if you know somebody who maintains a binary package then forward her/him +this text and (ask him to) contact us. What (s)he is doing is illegal and IT IS +NO LONGER <B>MPlayer</B>, but <U>his/her</U> mplayer. If it breaks, it is +his/her fault. Don't come and cry on the <B>MPlayer</B> mailing lists, you will +most likely be blacklisted.</P> + +<P>For example that french guy called <B>Christian Marillat</B> who denied our +request, and is still distributing binary Debian packages of <B>MPlayer</B>, +despite the fact that there was at least one user who downloaded it and failed +(of course compiling from source helped him). And there is <B>Guillaume +Rousse</B>, who is doing the same, but making RPMs for Mandrake. Do not support +criminals!</P> + +<P>Reasons: <B>Technical</B></P> + +<P> +<UL> + <LI><B>MPlayer's</B> speed (MMX, SSE, fastmemcpy, etc) optimizations are + determined during compilation. Thus a compiled binary contains very + processor-specific code. An <B>MPlayer</B> binary compiled for K6 will die + on Pentiums and vice versa. This has to be workarounded by runtime + detection, which is not an easy thing to do becase it causes massive speed + decrease. If you don't believe (it was explained in details 10000 times on + mplayer-users, search the archive), solve it and send us a patch. Someone + begun work on it, but disappeared since then.</LI> + <LI><B>MPlayer's</B> video/audio system is not plugin based. It is compiled + into the binary, thus making the binary depend on various libraries (the + GUI depends on GTK, DivX4 depends on libdivxdecore, SDL depends on libSDL, + every SDL release contains an unique bug that has to be workarounded during + compiletime, X11 output compiles differently for X3 and X4, etc). You may + say: yes, let's make 30 versions of downloadable binaries! We won't. We + will make these stuff pluggable in the future.</LI> +</UL> + +</HTML>

Summary</A></B></P> + +<P>This document tries to explain in some words what DGA is in general and +what the DGA video output driver for mplayer can do (and what it can't).</P> + + +<P><B><A NAME=2.3.1.3.2>2.3.1.3.2. What is DGA</A></B></P> + +<P>DGA is short for Direct Graphics Access and is a means for a program to +bypass the X-Server and directly modifying the framebuffer memory. +Technically spoken this happens by mapping the framebuffer memory into +the memory range of your process. This is allowed by the kernel only +if you have superuser privileges. You can get these either by logging in +as root or by setting the suid bit on the mplayer excecutable (NOT +recommended!).</P> + +<P>There are two versions of DGA: DGA1 is used by XFree 3.x.x and DGA2 was +introduced with XFree 4.0.1.</P> + +<P>DGA1 provides only direct framebuffer access as described above. For +switching the resolution of the video signal you have to rely on the +XVidMode extension.</P> + +<P>DGA2 incorporates the features of XVidMode extension and also allows +switching the depth of the display. So you may, although basically +running a 32 bit depth XServer, switch to a depth of 15 bits and vice +versa. </P> + +<P>However DGA has some drawbacks. It seems it is somewhat dependent on the +graphics chip you use and on the implementation of the XServer's video +driver that controls this chip. So it does not work on every system ...</P> + + +<P><B><A NAME=2.3.1.3.3>2.3.1.3.3.

There is no converter right now.. :(</P> + +<P>Become ROOT. DGA needs root access to be able to write directly video memory. +If you want to run it as user, then install <B>MPlayer</B> SUID root:</P> + +<P><CODE> + chown root /usr/local/bin/mplayer<BR> + chmod 750 /usr/local/bin/mplayer<BR> + chmod +s /usr/local/bin/mplayer</CODE></P> + + +<P>Now it works as a simple user, too.</P> + + +<P><B>!!!!

It's much +faster!!!</P> + +<P><B><A NAME=2.3.1.3.4>2.3.1.3.4. Resolution switching</A></B></P> + +<P>The DGA driver allows for switching the resolution of the output signal. +This avoids the need for doing (slow) software scaling and at the same +time provides a fullscreen image. Ideally it would switch to the exact +resolution (except for honouring aspect ratio) of the video data, but the +XServer only allows switching to resolutions predefined in +<CODE>/etc/X11/XF86Config</CODE> (<CODE>/etc/X11/XF86Config-4</CODE> for XFree 4.0.X respectively). +Those are defined by so-called modelines and depend on the capabilites +of your video hardware. The XServer scans this config file on startup and +disables the modelines not suitable for your hardware. You can find +out which modes survive with the X11 log file. It can be found at: +<CODE>/var/log/XFree86.0.log</CODE>.</P> +<P>See appendix A for some sample modeline definitions.</P> + +<P><B><A NAME=2.3.1.3.5>2.3.1.3.5. DGA & MPlayer</A></B></P> + +<P>DGA is used in two places with <B>MPlayer</B>: The SDL driver can be made to make +use of it (-vo sdl:dga) and within the DGA driver (-vo dga). +The above said is true for both; in the following sections I'll explain +how the DGA driver for <B>MPlayer</B> works.</P> + +<P><B><A NAME=2.3.1.3.6>2.3.1.3.6. Features of the DGA driver</A></B></P> + +<P>The DGA driver is invoked by specifying -vo dga at the command line. +The default behaviour is to switch to a resolution matching the original +resolution of the video as close as possible. It deliberately ignores the +-vm and -fs switches (enabling of video mode switching and fullscreen) - +it always tries to cover as much area of your screen as possible by switching +the video mode, thus refraining to use a single additional cycle of your CPU +to scale the image. +If you don't like the mode it chooses you may force it to choose the mode +matching closest the resolution you specify by -x and -y. +By providing the -v option, the DGA driver will print, among a lot of other +things, a list of all resolutions supported by your current XF86-Config +file. +Having DGA2 you may also force it to use a certain depth by using the -bpp +option. Valid depths are 15, 16, 24 and 32. It depends on your hardware +whether these depths are natively supported or if a (possibly slow) +conversion has to be done.</P> + +<P>If you should be lucky enough to have enough offscreen memory left to +put a whole image there, the DGA driver will use doublebuffering, which +results in much smoother movie replaying. It will tell you whether double- +buffering is enabled or not.</P> + +<P>Doublebuffering means that the next frame of your video is being drawn in +some offscreen memory while the current frame is being displayed. When the +next frame is ready, the graphics chip is just told the location in memory +of the new frame and simply fetches the data to be displayed from there. +In the meantime the other buffer in memory will be filled again with new +video data.</P> + +Doublebuffering may be switched on by using the option -double and may be +disabled with -nodouble. Current default option is to disable +doublebuffering. When using the DGA driver, onscreen display (OSD) only +works with doublebuffering enabled. However, enabling doublebuffering may +result in a big speed penalty (on my K6-II+ 525 it used an additional 20% of +CPU time!) depending on the implementation of DGA for your hardware.</P> + + +<P><B><A NAME=2.3.1.3.7>2.3.1.3.7. Speed issues</A></B></P> + +<P>Generally spoken, DGA framebuffer access should be at least as fast as using +the X11 driver with the additional benefit of getting a fullscreen image. +The percentage speed values printed by mplayer have to be interpreted with +some care, as for example, with the X11 driver they do not include the time +used by the X-Server needed for the actual drawing. Hook a terminal to a +serial line of your box and start top to see what is really going on in your +box ...</P> + +<P>Generally spoken, the speedup done by using DGA against 'normal' use of X11 +highly depends on your graphics card and how well the X-Server module for it +is optimized.</P> + +<P>If you have a slow system, better use 15 or 16bit depth since they require +only half the memory bandwidth of a 32 bit display.</P> + +<P>Using a depth of 24bit is even a good idea if your card natively just supports +32 bit depth since it transfers 25% less data compared to the 32/32 mode.</P> + +<P>I've seen some avi files already be replayed on a Pentium MMX 266.
