I have been working with mplayer and have been able to script the
playing of an small mpeg(20MB) movie. However when I scale it I see
that it chews up all the cpu on my 700Mhz duron. I assum this is due to
the software scaling that is occuring since afaics, Xvideo is not
availible.
I have read and reread the docs and currently believe that I will need
to get Xvideo working inorder to off load the scaling to the video card.
Is this correct? I found a howto on compiling DRI and gatos (I think
through the mplayer docs but maybe not) Before I launch down this path
I thought I would ask if this is the right move.
