I am using Parhelia 128mb with a single RGB-monitor, and an additional
feature display (a tv-set). I have a fast AMD CPU (2,6Ghz) which plays back
compressed DivX movies with no problem, even in full screen mode on the
computer monitor.

When viewing video in Windows Media Player (either windows media or DivX)
the video on the computer-monitor is smooth and fine, even as I output the
video overlay to the tv-screen at the same time.

The problem is the tv-output (via composite). It looks like DivX movies
played on a slow computer, i.e. it halts on some frames especially during
horizontal movements (pans).

Why should there be difference between the performance on the computer
monitor and the tv-set? The decompression of the DivX is done once, and is
done perfectly as I can see on my computer monitor...

Any hints, tips or tricks??

A.

Are you playing 24fps (film) movies on a 25fps (50Hz PAL) television ?
As you can see, there is missing 1 frame per second, something which
produces a small halt every second as 1 frame has to be shown twice to
compensate.
Set your television output mode to 60Hz PAL instead of 50Hz ... or you can
download a program called DivXG400 which will increase playback speed a
notch so it will be identical to the PAL standard
