I've tried mplayer, kplayer, vlc, dragon and kaffeine. I have PA
configured for all my sound, using the Xine backend.
PA runs without causing any problem on both the Mandriva laptop and the F10
netbook.
Mplayer and kplayer
work perfectly (as does Amarok for audio). Kaffeine, dragon and vlc all
stutter.
Strange, isn't it? DragonPlayer is the only video player I've got working
smoothly. Exactly the oppostie of yours.
mplayer-1.0-0.103.20080903svn.fc10.x86_64
kplayer-0.7.0-1.20081211cvs.fc10.x86_64
kaffeine-0.8.7-3.fc10.x86_64
kdemultimedia-4.2.0-1.fc10.1.x86_64 (for dragon)
vlc-0.9.8a-1.fc10.x86_64
Anyone see a pattern?
I'm using 32-bit - so this is not like-for-like, and I don't know how
significant that is.
