[linux-dvb] Re: [Mplayer-dvb] mplayer playback through dvb takes100% cpu time

if you didn't specify -of mpeg no: it's avi
Yes, you are right: I did not specify -of mpeg, it's avi.


I have not yet tried other mpg-Files.

Maybe it is interesting that xosview shows most of the used CPU time as "SYS" (red bar) when
using -ao oss/alsa9/null. The "blue" part is about the amount I would expect (depening on the file
type played).

what happens if you run
mplayer -vo xv -ao mpegpes test.mpg
Working as expected, low cpu usage.

mplayer -vo xv -ao oss test.mpg
This my "old" way of watching movies (before I bought the full features DVB-card):
This word fine: very little CPU usage.

Interesting: These tests show that it is not the sound as it seemed before.
But what is it then?

Just to not get confuses, the summary of tests:
- bad: mplayer -vo mpegpes -ao oss/null/alsa dvd://1
- bad: mplayer -vo mpegpes -ao oss/null/alsa test-divx.avi
- bad: mplayer -vo mpegpes -ao oss/null/alsa test-xvid.avi
- bad: mplayer -vo mpegpes -ao oss/null/alsa test.mpg (recorded by buffer < /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 > test.mpg) - this is TS, I think
- bad: mplayer -vo mpegpes -ao oss/null/alsa test.cpy.avi (recoded from test.mpg by mencoder -ovc copy -oac copy ...)
- ok: mplayer -vo mpegpes -ao mpegpes anyfileabove
- ok: mplayer -vo xv -ao mpegpes test.mpg
- ok: mplayer -vo xv -ao oss test.mpg
