Aviplay seems to be more efficent on my system (taking about 10% less CPU time for both the aviplay process and the XFree process on the same DivX encoded video). Truth be told, I still use smpeg to play MPEG1 files because it is so nice to my CPU. -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
