Maybe, but maybe it's something as simple as the fact (or way) that mesa vdpau
is vsynced.
Some further testing results -
Use VDPAU_TRACE=1 and grep/awk/bash to get the diffs from the timestamps
mplayer2 uses on vdp_presentation_queue_display.
Playing 25 fps on a 60Hz screen looks OK ish for a while -
50030334
33349000
50022000
33350000
50022000
33348000
50023000
33349000
50022000
33349000
33356334
33333332
50029334
but then when it starts lagging mplayer2 is asking for longer intervals -
100052334
16682334
100046000
16673000
100046000
16674000
83333330
66728336
83371000
66697000
83372000
66697000
83370000
66699000
83370000
First thought it's trying to framedrop - maybe my GPU is too slow (it's
powerful but set to low).
Turn it up and no lag - me thinks that's it then, but then mplayer works so
another test.
GPU on low again but screen @120Hz also = no lag, so it's not just perf.
If you know mplayer2 code well perhaps that will tell yoou something.
Another separate observation SD or HD just -vo seems to work but the %cpu shown
for vo rises. It seems it's rate of rise decreased as it gets higher so I don't
know if it will ever get to 100 and start lagging.</pre>
