[MPlayer-users] DVDs slow on a 2Ghz P4?

[Henric Andersson]

I had the same experience (different hardware though) but I found that the
slowness was due to the fact that MPlayer was unable to use alsa9 as output
(I had forgotten to recompile the drivers) so the sound disappeared and that
made mplayer play at 50% speed instead of a 100% ... Strange, but fixable.
Dunno if it helps you, but it might shed some light on the issue (?)
