Are you using video acceleration? If not, it's worth a shot.  (How is your dreamlinux's X set up like?)

I didn't install the graphic driver on DSL. I have a SM 721 (Lynx3DM; 4MB).
But i don't know how to install it.
Have you got an idea?

Thanks a lot

Try the "siliconmotion" driver maybe... http://www.xfree86.org/4.3.0/siliconmotion.4.html

SM720 seems to be the similar to the SM721 from looking around...

If you run mplayer from the commandline (the best way to run it)  it will print out some tips if playback is too slow, including

turning on framedropping (as mentioned)
setting -cache 8192 (if you are playing from slow media eg dvd/cdrom)
-autosync 30

and some others I can't recall.

Try playing it back smaller eg mplayer -xy 0.5 will half the resolution

Slow video playback can be caused by a buggy sound driver as well.

Getting graphics acceleration going is obviously the best thing, but with a processor 3x as fast as yours, dsl dma toram can get by without it (except for action movies or 3d games).

Hi:)

I run mplayer in a terminal and i see tqo stranges things:
"Detected cache-line size is 32 bytes" (i have a PIII with 256 Ko of cash memory) Maybe i do a mistake and this size is not what i think^^

The most important is "MMX2 supported but disabled"
                                  "MMX:1 MMX2:0 SSE:1 SSE2:2"

Esxcept this everything looks great^^
I don't understand why i don't have my MMX2 activate.
If you've got an idea^^

Thanks a lot.
