I use an Athlon 800 desktop machine with 256M of 133MHz ram and find it to be barely fast enough for playing DVDs and AVIs. So it's not a great surprise to me that you are having performance problems. I think that part of the issue is optimisation of the players. I used to find that Xine and Ogle performed adequately on DVDs, now they both totally suck and I can only get vlc to deliver OK performance (but VLC doesn't do menus and it's support for selecting chapters seems broken). I should file some bug reports... -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
