More Mplayer Problems
shuiend:
I am running a duron 800 mhz, 320 megs of ram. I know it is not that b/c mplayer did work about a week ago or so. Other program like xine can play them just fine and all. So i am not sure. Xine has sound using oss but it is set to auto detect while i have to pick which dsp to use in mplayer.

Thanks for the help void main but i just did a fresh install of RH 8 again and now it works fine. That along with some other things is what prompted me to reinstall and also the 100% ridding myself of winshit on my computer.
voidmain:
Hmmm, well it would be nice to know what was causing the problem. The only thing I can think of is you had some sort of process hung up eating up all the CPU. If it does it again run the "top" command and see if anything is hogging all your resources. Glad you got it working.

Apparently DMA is off by default in some install types of RH8.0. This can cause choppy playback when reading from a CDROM. Maybe this combined with a slow processor is part of the issue.
The Ogle site has a little bit about this.
