i've been using the MPlayer-1.0pre[1,2,3] series from mplayerhq.hu
i've been playing with matrox g200, g450, g550..
and i was hoping to try g550-mms to see if it'd solve
the problems but didnt spend the dough yet
and i have the ati and few other dual port cards
which all works fine with dual screens ... xinerama mode
just mplayer failed ... maybe i need your options you listed
and mplayer is the gizmo that had to work :-)
and at least ... if one uses the -sub subtitle4mpeg.txt option, you can
add ( overlay ) text subtitles to the mpeg movie as its playing
and the original *.mpeg remains unmodified
i dont have my test rig for dual/quad screens right now ...
and will keep ya'll posted
thanx
