I am using a MSI Geforce 2 MX to play back the captures I make with my PVR
250 card. Player back from disk is usually pretty jitter free but if I
point mplayer at /dev/video0 or when watching TV via MythTV (I suspect it
is doing a very similar thing) I get a lot of skipping and jitter. The
moment the CPU wants to do anything else, the TV playback stutters.
The system is an AMD Duron 1100Mhz with 384MB of RAM and a PVR 250
card. Sound is from a PCI ES1371 SB card. The machine has no other
assigned tasks.
I am digging through Mplayer trying to learn how to optimize it for
playback. I used the -vo gl flag to tell it to use the OpenGL drivers and
the quality of the image improved but the stutter was still there.
Anyone else with a Geforce2 have any suggestions on optimization? My
LiveTV viewing is fairly unusable right now...
