Hi,

I'm running Debian Sid on DELL laptop PIII 750MHz.
Of ffmpeg I have the following installed
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/graphics/ffmpeg
I've got the gstreamer-ffmpeg of ubuntu installed
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hoary/libs/gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg

For the rest (totem gstreamer) all the debian unstable packages

I just repeated the experiment with a mpg movie from a camera
load with ffplay 25%
load with totem 75%

Jaap

BTW is there anyway of configuring gstreamer such that it will use 
mpeg2dec i.s.o. ffdec_mpeg2video or vice versa??
