MPEG1/2 content should now automatically be detected by MPlayer and
- it will use the hardware acceleration of the DXR3 to play it. If not, you can
- force it to hardware acceleration with -vc mpegpes
. Also, if you
- plan to use postprocessing filters you must use -vc mpeg12
.
In some instances, subtitles may not appear properly in sync with the A/V
- stream when using hardware decoding (-vc mpegpes
). This is a
- known bug. The em8300 will also improperly handle subtitles that are too big,
- and may hang for a second or two. At this time, the only workaround is to use
- -vc mpeg12
when viewing DVDs with subtitles. When running with
- -vc mpeg12
MPlayer will reencode video to MPEG (even if it
- already is MPEG). This means that it will need more CPU power, and you might
- loose some picture quality.
