Mplayer video

Hi all,

When playing video with mplayer at 480p at 25 frames/second - it seems
any format video.
I see straight lines across horizontally on the screen. Only where
there is movement and it is particularly bad when zooming or panning.

Any idea what this issue might be?
I am using standard mplayer with Angstrom.

Also, problems with audio sync. What is the ideal resolution for
showing a DVD movie with the Beagle?

Regards
Chris

Or maybe interlacing.

Hi,

It's not tearing, I think it might be interlacing. Though I am unsure
how to fix this issue.
I have found a few ways using mplayer, it does seem to be something
that is connected to the video - and how it was encoded.
I see it in Big Buck Bunny ..

Is there some commands that can be run using mplayer? or is there a
better player I can use?

I have played around with the interlacing commands in mplayer, but
without success as yet.

Thanks for the comments!
