interesting. my experience is that vlc, mplayer and xine-lib have never, on any machine, played DVD video as smoothly as ogle does. this is especially noticeable at the beginning of "Blue Velvet" or "Whale Rider" or anything which plays waves or wave-like scenes. perhaps this has something to do with ogle using multiple processes for reading the disc, decoding and playback? anyway, what's in the ogle window? solid blue or black? check `xvctl autopaint_colorkey`. sometimes mplayer changes that and doesn't set it back, which breaks other Xv using applications. -- jake...@sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
