I'm using a P4 1.4 with 1 gig of ram, so I dont think my box is the issue, and i'm trying to use SDL as the vo driver. x11 has same problem, but I did not have this problem in linux (not that linux is better :p), does anyone have any suggestions/ideas? Thank you This might sound like a stupid thing to ask, but are you actually using top(1) or something similar for checking the CPU usage ? Since you say "redlines", it sounds kind of like xload(1) or something, which is in fact checking the load of the machine (ie. running processes) instead of CPU usage. Then 100% (or, 1 process constantly running) would be normal. If you're using top(1) for checking the CPU usage, I can only say that it's weird... I get around 30% CPU used when playing video streams using SDL on an Athlon 1.4 GHz. > > JAi > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
