How to use a Sigma Designs Hollywood Plus and/or a Creative DXR3 by David Holm
|
|
==============================================================================
|
|
|
|
Thanks goes out to Daniel Bell for the donation of a brand new 20GB IBM
|
|
harddisk.
|
|
|
|
1. Requirements
|
|
|
|
* First of all you will need the DXR3/H+ drivers properly installed.
|
|
Version 0.10.0 or later. You can find it at
|
|
http://dxr3.sourceforge.net/
|
|
|
|
* Run <mplayerdir>/configure and make sure that DXR3/H+ support = yes
|
|
if you want to play files other than mpeg libmp1e should be = yes as well
|
|
|
|
From here on compilation (of at least my code ;) should go without any
|
|
problems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Usage
|
|
|
|
-vo dxr3:<devicenum> For video output
|
|
-ao oss:<devicefile> For audio output
|
|
-ac hwac3 For digital audio output instead of
|
|
analog
|
|
-vc mpegpes For mpeg playback
|
|
-aop list=resample:fout=48000 If samplerate is below 44100Hz
|
|
<devicenum> Number of device to use for playback
|
|
(if you have more than one card.).
|
|
This can usually be left out (-vo dxr3).
|
|
Mandrake 8.1 uses devfs by default. If
|
|
you are running mandrake 8.1 please use
|
|
-vo dxr3:0
|
|
<devicefile> Normally /dev/em8300_ma or
|
|
/dev/em8300_ma-<devicenum>
|
|
(-ao dxr3:/dev/em8300_ma). If left out
|
|
the default oss device will be used
|
|
(normally soundcard).
|
|
|
|
MPEG-1, MPEG-2, VCD and DVD Notes
|
|
There are some important notes to take into account here for optimum playback.
|
|
MPlayer currently does not autodetect that the dxr3 can playback mpegs. So for
|
|
mpeg files, dvd's and vcd's you have to add -vc mpegpes to tell mplayer that
|
|
you are using a hardware accelerator. Otherwise mplayer will decode the movie
|
|
in software, which is much slower.
|
|
Note that you cannot use -vc mpegpes with movies that aren't mpeg 1 or 2 or
|
|
you will get an error message saying "Can't find codec for video format...".
|
|
|
|
* If you run mplayer as root, or set userid root it will use your pc's internal
|
|
realtime clockgenerator for syncing. (If your kernel supports it (It's
|
|
located in character devices and called "Enhanced realtime clock support")).
|
|
Some people report that this has improved playback (which it should), but
|
|
others have had problems with it. You will have to experiment yourself with
|
|
this to find your optimum setup.
