Using lavc is highly recommended. Currently there is no way of setting the fps of the em8300 which means that it is fixed to 29.97fps. Because of this - it is highly recommended that you use -vop lavc=<quality>:29.97, - especially if you are using prebuffering.

MPEG1, MPEG2, VCD and DVD Notes

-

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.
