[MPlayer-users] XvBadPort when attempting to play 2 videos using -vo xvmc

[dave giffin]

Today, I tried using -vo xvmc instead of xv. This
really does seem to cut in half the number of CPU
cycles that mplayer uses.

I've found that xvmc:xv:queue seems to work best for
me.
Using 'queue' seems to lower CPU cycles to 50% of
normal. Without, its like 60-70% of normal.
I put in 'xv' b/c I think it uses the normal 'xv'
video output, instead of 'sdl'. 

But, regardless, when I start one mplayer instance
using -vo xvmc, I can't start another using -vo xvmc.
When I try, mplayer crashes and gives me the message:
vo_xvmc: Could not find free matching surface. Sorry.
X11 error: XvBadPort


Is there a workaround I can use so that I can play
several videos at the same time using 'xvmc'?

I can start a video using 'xvmc' and start another
using 'xv'.

My System:
Athlon XP 2200
MPlayer-1.0pre2
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce4 MX
XFree86-4.3
Debian Sarge
