Pierre: It sounds like from what IgorB is saying, there is nothing wrong with your Graphics board and I found at least one place on the internet that indicated it has vdpau capabiities. I simply can not understand why you still are getting only about 12 frames/sec using OpenGL and why the mpeg proxy files are not seeing improved frame rate also. Phyllis quote: Instead of working with 29.97 fps media, I loaded Big Buck
Bunny which is 60 frames per second. And there may be something strange going on as Pierre indicated that I will have to test on a faster computer. Because when I played this, like Pierre, it seems to limit it at always 30 fps whether I user X11 or OpenGL. Then when I proxy it to 1/2, I thought I should have improved the frame rate but it too was at only 30 fps.
As far as the above, I planned on showing this to GG to get an explanation of why I too was not getting an improved frames/sec with proxy, BUT he always makes me prove it to him. So I had to start Cinelerra from a clean beginning with nothing set, and then I could not reproduce the 30 frames/sec only and had the full 60 frames/sec in the non-proxy case already. I am still trying to determine if I can find the bad case to show GG but may have to give up. Phyllis
