wokay... i tried:

vlc -vvvvv --stdout debug.txt           // and
vlc --yuv yuv -vvvvv --stdout debug.txt // as in the faq

both outputs are at the end of this mail in
corresponding order.

the problem would most likely be here??:

vout error: can't create YUV overlay surface.
vout: DirectXUpdateOverlay no overlay !!

Xing MPEG Player 3.3 and Windows Media Player 6.4
could easily play that mpg file... under xing, when
sound and rate control is off, i get over 50+ fps...

btw, it's also rather impossible for me to get new
drivers for my et6000 and gravis ultrasound... sob.
tseng labs bought over by ati and ultrasound discontinued
since long time back...



>Anyway I hope you don't plan to watch any DVD or mpeg2 videos with your computer because my celeron 500 has just enough guts for the job ;-)

awwww.. shucks... :)


thanks a million!
