8.42.3 TexturedVideo

[dixon]

Hi.
Is TexturedVideo working for anybody? I discovered this feature just week ago. I didn't need it really before, but to be able to use the new feature in skype(webcam support) I need multiple xv ports. When I enable the texturedvideo option in xorg.conf the videos are ok in original size, but when I resize the video or switch to fullscreen the video is blocky(also the subtitles) and there's also some tearing visible.

I'm using Mobility R9700 with fglrx drivers(8.42.3).
Here's my xorg.conf

Hi.
Is TexturedVideo working for anybody?

Works just fine on my x1900GT.

[dixon]

I can't get it working with fglrx :( So my question is - Can I get multiple xv ports with the opensource driver?

[Whoopie]

Hi,

I get 4 XV ports when enabling TexturedVideo, but all movie players show a screwed picture.

Do I have to change the config for e.g. mplayer so that it works with TexturedVideo?

Thanks for your help,
Whoopie

By "screwed" do you mean distorted or "blocky and tearing" ?

[Whoopie]

I meant distorted so that I can't even imagine what I would see there.

I get blocky fullscreen as well, both in VLC and MPlayer. Mobility Radeon X1400.

Blocky and tearing for me.... it was always blocky and tearing, more than a year now.

I've found that using OpenGL output in VLC (with fglrx 8.42.3 or 7.11) results in smooth scaling, while Xv output has blocky edges. I use the OpenGL output full-time now because of that, despite the odd horizontal and 45deg diagonal tearing artifacts in fast motion, high contrast scenes.
