[xine-user] newbie - DVD jumpy playback

[John W. <dea...@ho...>]

Hi,

I have just installed xine:

libxine1-1_cvs-040318.i686.rpm
libdvdcss-1.2.8-1.network.i386.rpm
xine-ui-0.9.23cvs-040405.i586.rpm

and tried playing back some commercial DVD's.

It does work 'out of the box', but the playback is very jumpy.

Plays about a second, then freezes for 1/10, etc...

My machine is:

Linux Fedora code 1.0

Intel Pentium 4 2.4GHz (533FSB)

Socket 478 for Intel, 533/400 MHz FSB
Northbridge: SiS648 HMAC Host & Memory & AGP Controller
Southbridge: SiS963 MuTIOL Media I/O
Super I/O: ITE 8705 chip

512Mb PC3200 DDRam Module

DVD Combo - Toshiba SD-R1312
PIO Mode 4 = 16.7 Mbyte/s
Multiple Word DMA Transfer (Mode 2) = 16.7 Mbyte/s
Ultra DMA = 33.3 Mbyte/s

ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 PF/PRO AGP 4x TMDS


When I play a .AVI file - no problem at all.

When I play a DVD, I get xine:

%CPU: 25.0
%MEM: 6.0

but its jumpy.

Something in my machine must be configured wrong (maybe even the BIOS) ?

I can only think its to do with the data transfer from the DVD drive, as 
.AVI files are OK.

I also wanted to try the:

"If you're using X11, the use of XFree's Xv extension (XFree 4.x) is highly 
recommended"

but I can't find it anywhere.

Can anyone offer me any advice ?

Thanks,
John.
