hi,
it has many output modes, like x11, xvideo , aa and sdl.
i’m using a tnt2 32mb card in a relatively high resolution 1408x1056…
Ok I’ll try to answer your question.
Avifile has been solving this long time ago - and it has came up
that relatively simple hack avoids this flickering problem
you just have to clear two lowest lines - that’s it - nothing else
is needed - this is of course known to mplayer team for a long time
so I’ve no idea why they didn’t included support for this into mplayer.
I’m not sure which NVidia driver do you use - is it the latest release ?
I know that some initial driver have been suffering from this problem
but I’ve thought that NVidia team managed to fix this bug.
As the cards like GeForce2 or MX or whatever newer product do not
show this problem it might be as well the hardware bug in TNT2 card
(I’ve heard something like this initialy, but I would proabably bet
on buggy X11 driver
Anyway Sam has removed the ugly have (which is goood)
- use the last Xv surface have - because in this case it will try to use
textured Xv surface (I would have assumed that this shouldn’t have the
behavior with flashing colors at the bottom of the window) -
this hack has the side effect that the user couldn’t select
Xv attributes for such surface like brigthness contrast hue saturation
(actually the NVidia cards are the most advanced here!)
So Sam please do not reenable currently ‘disabled hack’ as there
are easy solution for Tnt2 user (XClear for two lowest line)
and most probably I would have though that using latest NVidia driver
should solve the problem for Tnt2 user - if this is not true
let me know gabor (in Slovak lang if you wish)
then 1.2.4 arrived… i installed it , and now it displays the movies
with the same errors as mplayer’s xvideo mode…
again - it’s correct that SDL now behaves in the same way - because
it’s finaly using real Xv (textured surfaces are nice extension,
but that do not have the same amount of features)
so something got wrong… or maybe my card is broken, but either way,
yeah - please try to report your problems on NVidia list if
the problem remains even with latest driver (2880 I guess)
