[MPlayer-users] playing movies on slow machines ...

[Enrico Weigelt]

Hi folks,

i'm using a quite slow machine (PII/400 w/ RivaTNT) for movie
playback. For some VCDs it works quite well, but for DivX it
is defitively too slow. 

Is there any possibility to prepare the movies, so that they require
less CPU power (i.e. convert to an faster encoding) ? Its okay if 
the machine has some hours to do w/ the conversion, but then the
playback should be okay.

It would be nice if you could give me a short command line for
an avi file and a mpeg-pes stream.


regards,
--
