I have dual-core 1.4 ghz core duo on my laptop and 32 bit system.
When I try to play h264 encoded files mplayer says:"Your system is too SLOW to play this!".
I noticed that only one core is loaded during playback.
That's why I want to play video on both cores.
This option
-lavdopts threads=2
does not help(it's supposed to make more threads for h264 and mpeg1,2).
CPU load is still mostly on one core.
And when cpu load is high framedropping starts.
Is there someone who tested mplayer on multicore system ?

Did you install the multithreaded ffmpeg (ffmpeg-mt) for your mplayer build? I think that option only works for ffmpeg-mt

Thanks, Nepherte. I will try that.

corrupt,
Is your GPU nVidia by any chance?

No, skottish. I have integrated Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c).

Read the latest news item (2009-02-20) on MPlayerHQ. ffmpeg-mt works pretty well on my lowly Intel Atom.

Yes, performance is much better with ffmpeg-mt.
Thanks everyone!
