Description Stefan de Konink 2005-06-22 19:27:07 UTC
I found out my offset problems in Realplayer and Mplayer come from an offset
problem with the Xvideo extention. The video itself is moved about 1.5cm down.
In realplayer there is a piece of black above the video, mplayer shows a piece
of blue above it.

As you might can understand creating a xv surface bigger than the actual media
breaks the program. So smartly place an application minus 50 pixels from the top
visually performs well at the top, but you cannot add extra xv space to the bottom.

Is there a way to specify the right offset (by trail and error?), the reason I
cannot work with X11 is simple, the machine running this is a Pentium II, and
just cannot scale the image on a Geforce II, without the proper acceleration.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce
Steps to Reproduce:




Expected Results:  
It would be nice if the Xvideo extension would detail the right boundingbox, but
giving a clue to the right alteration software would suffice.

media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7174
media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.7174-r1
x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1

I'm aware of these being not the latest packages.

Can you reproduce this with the nv driver?
Comment 2 Stefan de Konink 2005-06-22 20:23:56 UTC
I cannot, nvtv, messes up my screen before I can make a clear attempt.
Production box, so I can't take it down *too* often.

Please test this with the latest NVIDIA driver.
