Yes, I’d like to play videos full screen, with as little load to  the  cpu  as
possible and without X.
My  8  years  old  laptop  (radeon  fire 9000 mobility, p4, running linux from
scratch) got stolen, so I’m trying to get back to only 20‐30%  CPU  load  when
viewing a DVD,DVB‐T or some x264 video with my new one running gentoo.
The closest I got with

mplayer -af volnorm -vf pp=md,screenshot,scale=1280:-2 -vo fbdev2 dvb://

but this needs around 50% of one CPU. With fbdev (not fbdev2) the text overlay
flickers badly such that subtitles are no joy. This was all  no  problem  with
cvidix on my old laptop:-(

Is there any way to achieve all this without cvidix?

Thanks for all Your help and hints
