Mplayer's X11 output is fast enough for most people. On my 1700+ it rarely uses more than 10% of the CPU. Anyway Mplayer (and most of the other video players) do all many of its maths operations using the MMX/SSE/3DNow! exenstions and lots of processors supports at least one of these x86 exenstions. - James -- James Pole ICQ: 21721828 AIM: kiwijames1986 MSN: james.pole@paradise.net.nz SMS: +64-210-455-139 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
