[MPlayer-users] tv and v4l

[Jason Pepas]

I just got my matrox rainbow runner setup and working again,  and now mplayer 
is super-slow for watching tv.

I seem to remember doing all this about 6 months ago, and mplayer was just 
fine for watching tv.  Now, its as if its using software to blit the video 
data to the screen and cant do it fast enough (its displaying at about 15 
frames per second, and you can "see" blocks of the video being updated).  I 
seem to remember it being just fine in the past.  Am I perhaps not enableing 
some feature which allows it to perform a hardare accelerated overlay or 
something?

here's the command:
 mplayer -tv on:driver=v4l:input=0:width=320:height=240:norm=NTSC:outfmt=yv12

my machine is a celeron 550, 384MB ram, matrox G200 + rainbowrunner.

thanks,
