When I attempt to play DVD's under xine-0.7.8 using the DVD plugin (from CVS), I get alot of skipping to the point that it is not watchable. Does anyone have the DVD plugin for VDR working with the Xine plugin? I have tried the XVMC driver and that fails immediately. When I use the "XV" display driver, it works a little, but thats when I get the really bad skips in video. My video card is a Nvidia GeForce MX 420 and I am using the current 8178 proprietary video drivers.
Best Regards,

Hhm, I do not see such an issue. I use a GeForce 6600GT with NVidia driver version 8174, using xine's output driver xv. My system is equipped with a P4 2.8 GHz HT CPU. I run debug builds of VDR and xine, so my load my be a bit higher than with regular builds.
With the deinterlacer enabled (as specified in MANUAL), I have a CPU load of about 15-20 %. Although the CPU load is not too high, xine still gives me a lot of these messages
video_out: Verwerfe Bild mit pts 246538, weil es zu alt ist (Unterschied: 1982).
When I disable the deinterlacer, CPU load drops to 7-10% and the above messages no longer appear.
I must admit, I never had those messages in the past although I had a much higher CPU load. But recently I replaced my P-ATA drive by a S-ATA one to get the P-ATA drive repaired.
And it looks like I have this issue (and lost TS packets, too) since the time when I replaced the drive (I didn't have any S-ATA drive before in this system).
I use an ext3 file system with a commit interval of 5 seconds. gkrellm shows me a disc access every 5 seconds, but I still haven't checked whether there is anything to commit. So I still hope that things improve when I get my drive back.
BTW: SUSE 10, kernel-smp-2.6.13-15.8
Bye.

When I upgraded to the latest version of xine, the buffer was still set to 8. Reducing the buffer to 4 and having a hysteresis of 4 solved all the buffer problems for me and the DVD plugin. :)
Thanks for everything.
