What components come later?
The output/rendering system? No, i don't think so, most non-DivX movies
play in Mplayer VERY NICE!

so the problem was with SVQ3, and you used XVideo too? Or x11 driver?

I can't use -vo x11 because of slow CPU :(
But if i had better one -- of course i would use x11 and wouldn't complain.
I like XVideo because it allows scaling without performance degradation.
Next, i don't use DIvX postprocessing, so movies can go fast in XVideo
(but still slow in all other drivers)

The typical frame size is 640x256 (as used in sample AVI)
Not big, as i have movies with bigger size that go well.
