[wplug] mpegs /gtv/plaympeg from Loki

[Rich Rosenbaum]

Hello All,

First, thank you in advance for being patient. I am a newbie, and after
looking through the last 410 posts I am more respectful than ever to all

of you. I don't write code, and am just learning about ipchains (yuk)

Dilema in a nutshell....full-screen (640x480) and double size playback
of MPEG's is pixelated.

The playback is beautiful at standard resolution. My system (RH
7.1)(don't laugh toooooo hard) emachines 633i, that's a 633 Celeron, 64
MB Ram, on board i810 AGP. I also have a 533 emachine with the same
video and memory, a 200 Pentium MMX with an older All-In-Wonder (RH 6.2.

Cousin says -buy new video card. He has pretty good system (1Ghz
Athlon,blah blah) Full screen looks great to him.

Friend says don't waste mytime and money til you find out what -2 or the

other commands actually mean. Something is causing the pixellation, so I

need to find out if it's hardware related, or software related. When you

actually use the -2, what does that do, as well as any of the other
commands?

So, question 1is....are gtv/plaympeg the same (that's got to be the
dumbest of all)

#2. What does the software do when you use -2, or --commands like
640x480, etc?

#3. does a better video card help, which ones, better>worse, and what
defines better or worse from a software point of view? Does the software
determine if the hardware can accelerates the playback?

Before you start spitting at your screen, I have to be honest, I was a
Mac guy befor I was a Linux guy (both better than Winblows in my newbie
opinion). I play mpg's on anything from an older iMac, to a beige G3, to

a blue/white G3 using Quicktime all the time, full screen etc, and have
never seen this problem before.

Any advice is appreciated, and thank you again for your patience.
