[linux-dvb] mplayer HDTV

[Hamish Moffatt <hamish@cloud.net.au>]

I'm having trouble with mplayer with HD stations too (in particular Nine
and Ten in Melbourne Australia). It'll quit very shortly after starting
with:

size restrictions for MP@ML or MPEG1 exceeded! (1440x1088)

If I run dvb:/// and tune to that program, it will keep playing but the
video breaks up badly every few seconds. If I capture some data to disk 
and play it back the video seems quite slow, and still gives the above
messages. The captured file plays ok in Xine though.

I've got a Duron 1.2 GHz; playing back the HD file takes about 55% of
the CPU, according to top. About 35% in xine.
