Thanks for replying.
So, reading this means that xbmc video playback quality on original xbox hardware "might be better" because mplayer (with video postprocessing) is (or can be) used, while current linux version uses "dvdplayer" which does not have any postprocessing steps at the moment...
I'm even more :confused2:

So just out of curisoty I remember in the old days on xbox xbmc, we had the option to switch to an experimintal player, could this option be added and anyone with the skills enough to get mplayer in which has alot more of the filtering and postprossing in?
I know its not an easy task and If I was a c++ programmer I could potentially help but my stuck with php and python as my skills at the moment.
What is the issue with using mplayer? Maybe this was already hit in a thread before, im not trying to start a stir but from my stand point looking at all the open source stuff it seems to be the most supported and mature of the players out their.
I do have to agree with Amode, videos look better on my old xbox than the linux version and yes I know its in alpha, just curious on the decision to use dvdplayer over other more mature players.
I want to make clear this is just constructive criticism, and totally respect the team and what they are doing for the Linux Port.

postprocessing is disabled by default on standard xbox too as it pretty much always resulted in worse quality. only way to enable it was from advancedsettings.xml. any difference against linux build must be in renderers or tv output, has nothing todo with player.

hrm, lost my first response...
Anyway, just so I'm on the same page - is DVDplayer capable of playing DVD right now? So far neither I nor a friend of mine have been able to accomplish this:o I have ripped my DVD in VOB\IFO format and I think he was using a physical DVD. Mine hung buffering, his also hung apparently. Is there some support that we've not loaded? My understanding was that the code was still being worked and that this part was currently broken - is that no longer the case? I'm not willing to change the format of what I've ripped, there are simply too many DVDs (600+). Getting this working would be huge and allow me to use the Linux box pretty much full time!

the bool setting that let you load an alternative mplayer-dll back in the days... has fuck all to do with anything. read, understand what we have written and if you're not capable of that, just accept it.
alternatively supply a patch but stop reiterating the same things over and over again - that's what makes us angry not ppl questioning our decisions.
