Reply-to: peter@nuttall.ukfsn.org
I am trying to use xine to watch DVDs but It keeps jerking and dropping 
frames. I have a Athon 2000XP processor and 256MB of RAM which I think should 
be OK. the graphics card is a NVIDIA TNT2 using the nvidia drivers. I have 
included both the output of xvinfo and the file ~/.xine/config if that helps. 
I am sorry the email is so large but I was not sure what was needed.

Thanks

pete
