 Posted: Mon Jul 19, 2010 3:49 pm Post subject: mplayer + ffmpeg + vdpau, but CPU usage stays high |
 |
|
Hello,
until now I used the "Xv" video output driver in combination with ffmpeg's "ffh264" codec to replay H.264 encoded movies. For 1080p my cpu usage was reasonable high. (Between 70% and 90%.) Recently I found out, that for my hardware (NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GS, proprietary nvidia driver 195.36.24) the "vdpau" output driver in conjunction with the "ffh264vdpau" codec is the better option. So I enabled the "vdpau" use flag and re-emerged all packages, whose use flags had changed. But if I invoke mplayer with the command
| Code: |
mplayer -vo vdpau -vc ffh264vdpau
|
my cpu usage stays on the same high level as before, although the output says that XVMC-accelerated decoding is in use. My feeling is, that mplayer/ffmpeg still uses the "Xv" output driver with the non-accelerated "ffh264" codec as a fall back without telling me. Any ideas what I might have forgot?
Here some more information about my configuration:

| One more piece of information: The X server process consumes most of the cpu power during play back. The X server process needs 50%-60%, the mplayer process needs around 20%. |

try to add
| Code: | | vc=ffh264vdpau,ffmpeg12vdpau,ffvc1vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau, |
in your ~/.mplayer/config file
(no need to add "-vo vdpau" mplayer option ... the -vc option is sufficient) |

Thanks for the answer, but this should not change anything. Anyway I tried it as you never know, what might happen, but has no effect.
This line in the mplayer's config file only allows me to ommit the explicit "-vo ... -vc ..." on the comand line. |

I that the line just allows the omission of explicit "-vo ... -vc ..." on the command line (even without the line -vo is not needed).
It was more to test with over codec : ffmpeg12vdpau ffvc1vdpau ffwmv3vdpau .. not just ffh264vdpau
What does mplayer display when you launch an h264 movie ? |

Unfortunately I could not switch the language to English. MPlayer seems to ignore LC_ALL=C. But I hope you can guess, what each single line means. Most important in both cases you will find the lines

"XVMC-beschleunigtes MPEG-2" is "XVMC-accelerated MPEG-2". So everything looks fine, but my cpu usage hits the sky. |

That message is bogus actually, XVMC is something completely different from VDPAU. A small but harmless bug in mplayer. Everything looks ok as far as I can tell, so whatever your problem is, mplayer's output doesn't show it. If no one here has a solution, you could try the nvnews.net forums. Nvidia folks post there regularly, including the VDPAU developer Stephen Warren. |

What version of mplayer? If not latest, did you try it? If yes, did you try SVN?
