So i just got a 955be and a 4670 and i was able to play a 720p mkv until i updated to 9.12 of catalyst. do i need to do something to get it to work again or just downgrade to 9.11?

Try different -vo options.

Does xvinfo return anything useful?

I used to get that message on an older system and what helped me was using -vfm ffmpeg and -cache 8192

Give those switches a shot and see if it helps you at all. You may still get the message, but performance should increase.

d3adfool · 2009-12-24 01:01:25

the weird part is im not even maxing my cpu. im running 80-90% on 1 core then idle on the other 3

The weird part is that it worked for you before. I don't know If It's a regression in catalyst(I don't use it any more).

Anyway, You should give mplayer-mt a try If you have 4 cores. I can play 1080p videos in my humble core2due with it.

d3adfool · 2009-12-26 05:18:39

ya i installed mplayer-mt and it works now i just find it odd that it happened that way.
