[MPlayer-users] high-res videos too slow, where's the bottleneck?

[Daniel A. Nagy]

If Arpi's arguments were true (which is absolutely plausible), it would imply that no full-screen
full-framerate animation is possible which requires software-driven copiing into the video memory. In other
words, today's videocards' resolution is beyond their interfaces' transfer-capability.

Question: how about bypassing X? Could you run your experiments with framebuffer drivers on Linux Console?

Cheers,
