zu1u Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 This may have already been discussed.. but the searches i issued didn't reavel any results.. I've been trying to get fullscreen videos and movies to play back at a decent framerate for a while now.. and i have found a quick way of doing it without having a QE/CI supported graphics card.. i personally have a 6600 which gets detected as VGA-Compatible Controller.. now what you'll need to do is simple.. get yourself the 10.4.6 myzar or jas [in case you don't already have it] and simply download the DivX Codec: http://download.divx.com/labs/DivX6_Mactel_Beta2fixed.dmg and the Popwire WMV-9 component [optional]: http://www.popwire.com/product_info.php?cP...1&products_id=7 then just fire up any video or movie in Quick Time.. for fullscreen playback you'll need the PRO version this has successfully worked for me.. and hopefully it will work for others..

It works fine. Depending on your processor speed, it may get shaky in spots, but it's a far cry better than the freeze stills you get with WMP9. This a great solution until we've figure out how to beat certain nVidia and ATI cards into submission (or OS X Tiger, for that matter) into using Quartz Extreme and CoreImage.

zu1u Posted May 12, 2006 Author Share Posted May 12, 2006 yes.. sadly.. the only downside is you need quite a bit of cpu power.. but i imagine any sse2/3 cpu can cut it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/17199-get-fullscreen-video-playback-at-a-decent-framerate/#findComment-111361 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TapaH Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 There is another way - use MPlayer with one of those additional parameters: -vf yuvcsp,noformat=yv12 -vo sdl -framedrop or -vf yuvcsp,scale=1024:576,noformat=yv12 -vo sdl -framedrop Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/17199-get-fullscreen-video-playback-at-a-decent-framerate/#findComment-111505 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TapaH Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 2 zu1u: What happened? What version of MPlayer did you try? Try deleting kexts and then use those strings with MPlayer CVS060310, not the newer one.

zu1u Posted May 12, 2006 Author Share Posted May 12, 2006 i tried using MPlayer OSX86 CVS060310 as well as the latest one.. and i get sound issues as well as graphics.. the sound is completely messed up.. it's just noise really.. and the graphics are skipping frames and showing artefacts..

zu1u Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 i figure we need some more quicktime components [especially sound] as i've found no sound with some video files as well..
