I was slightly disturbed when looking at the video playback performance of my EeePC 1000H. Heavy video tearing all over the place, not much fun at all. After a little searching I was able to circumvent the problem by using the video overlay port with mplayer. Let me shed some light:
xvinfo delivers information on textured video and video overlay and the associated ports
Adaptor #1: "Intel(R) Textured Video"
port base: 58
and
Adaptor #0: "Intel(R) Video Overlay"
port base: 57
port 57 (can be different on other machines or installations) is what we’re looking for. In order to force mplayer to use this port simply start with
mplayer movie.avi -vo xv:port=57
or more conveniently add the following to ~/.mplayer/config
vo=xv:port=57
to have mplayer always use video overlay.
You’ll never know how much grateful I am to you. After hours of random tweaks with no apparent results, your post appeared among the search results of Google and fixed the last issue I had with my laptop.
Thank you again. And sorry for my English, I’m not used to speak it, etc, etc.
