Xine-Which video driver should I adopt ?

I use Xfmedia under xfce4.6 to watch movies. In the Preference->Devices->Video, there are so many drivers:
   
# video driver to use
# { auto  dxr3  aadxr3  xv  raw  SyncFB  xshm  xxmc  none  sdl  vidix  vidixfb  fb  xvmc }, default: 0
#video.driver:auto

   It seems that each driver can work. Which is the best or What's the differences between them ?

It depends on your video card. What do you have?

My video card is Nvidia TNT2 32MB. I test some of these drivers, and found xv, xshm, xxmc are a little unsmooth when the movie reaches a strong pace. Vidix works fine.
   What is the differences between them ?

auto is normally the best "driver": it choose the best supported driver (normally xv I think). Only if auto does not work yo have to choose another one
