One problem worth noting: Using any of the comp modes on my 6850 card, going full screen results in a display that is not centered on my 1920x1200 16:10 display.
I have not noticed. Quote:
If 16:9 material, the black bar is at the top and the image is pushed all the way to the bottom and cropped some at the right.
Quote:
If 4:3 material, the black area is all to the left and the image all the way to the right. Setting I can change?
Is this from mplayer GUI, or do you play videos from Shell? If it's from mplayerGUI what settings are you using?

I am using MPlayer-GUI. Using compyuv and under size and aspect the off-centered fullscreen image happens regardless of whether I keep selections at default, 16:10, 16:9, 4:3, etc. Historically, I have had these at default.
Any other settings I should look at?
EDIT: Update and oops.... my bad. Had an errant screenmode promotion I forgot about. Was promoting mplayer fullscreen to 1650 wide when of course I wanted 1920. Sorry for false alarm and wasted time.
Welcome to the heartbreak of development. You climb a huge hill, deal with numerous technical challenges and hurdles, work late (often for days on end) and finally deliver something great.
The users say "Thanks"........ and immediately ask "Now can we have more" (!!).
You can never do enough. The only ones that truly understand and appreciate what you have accomplished are other developers. The rest have no idea. You just have to learn to deal with it, or take up farming...
Anyone who has ever worked in an industry with quarterly targets understands the "well done, give us more" situation. Years back I worked in a company where I overdelivered on my target by 70%. Lo and behold I got a thank you and a 75% increase in my next target. I soon learned to pace my output to manage future targets! LOL

I'm okay with that. What bothers me more is that it seems like some people are so fixated on what we don't have yet that they're unable to enjoy what we have. These people say stuff like "Thanks, but I'm still not doing X until you guys deliver Y..." Being so obsessed with the future that you can't enjoy the present is not good. Thankfully that mentality is less common than it used to be, but it still pops up now and then.
Anyway, back on topic... I'm glad to see that people are now enjoying better video playback via the new composited video feature (& DMA enhancements to the graphics.library).
i have a problem with playing "webm" movies. I choose this format in SMTUBE for playing videos in 480p because the other choice in this size (flv) is not in 480p in most videos (seems just a thumbnail).
So my problem in all resolutions is that i if i play webm videos, i have a broken video in the newest mplayer.
The video works fine with the old mplayer (but i want to use yuv and a higher resolution ;) ).
My System: AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition, Sam460, RadeonHD 5450, Radeon Driver 2.4
Any others with this problem? Which settings do you use with smtube and sam460 (720p is to heavy here).
Screenshot: Left = mplayer 6.3 (latest from os4depot) Right = previous version of mplayer
That video looks like the decoder isn't doing the motion compensation properly. It's like it isn't copying from previous frames correctly.
Anyway, you could try using the comp_yuv video output driver instead of comp_yuv2 (add the following to the command line: -vo comp_yuv). I don't know what the exact differences are, but it's worth a shot.
Failing that, try dropping down to plain comp. That ditches YUV, but it might work. Plus, trying the different drivers could give LiveForIt a clue as to what's going wrong.
