[xine-user] small feature request - xvidmode "don't scale" option

[Gustavo H. <ga...@me...>]

Hi:

Due to some Xv problems I was forced to try the Xshm vout. So after playing a 
bit with xine I was unhappy with the fact that when using the xvidmode 
option, after choosing the nearest available video mode xine would still try 
to scale the video to obtain a perfect match of video size <-> mode size, the 
problem is that even scaling from 756->800 takes a lot of cpu and in my 
machine (k7 550) that makes the diference between smooth and choppy playback. 
I solved the problem with a modeline for a tipycal DVD size, but it would be 
nice if one could have a zoom/don't zoom flag along with the xvidmode one. 
This way xine would change video mode to the nearest one and only zoom if 
that flag was set (and the sizes didn't match), otherwyse it would just 
center the picture in the screen. This is certainly very useful for low end 
machines that don't have XVideo available.

Thanks 
Gustavo
