I note the following:<br>1-If the screensaver on my Linux Fedora 17 workstation <u><b>is activated </b></u>during the rendering process (For example, I go away from my workstation), and I use for playback<br>mplayer -sstep 1 file.avi<br>shows the progress bar in the middle of the screen during the playback (very annoying).<br><br><span style="white-space:pre"></span><span style="white-space:pre"></span>2-If the screensaver <u><b>is NOT activated </b></u>during the rendering process,<br>
mplayer -sstep 1 file.avi<br>does NOT the progress bar in the middle of the screem during the playback.<span style="white-space:pre"> </span><span style="white-space:pre"><br><br>3- mplayer file.avi <br>does not show the progress bar but is unacceptably slow! Unfortunately, the wall time to create the avi file is quite long and using offscreen rendering is desired.<br><br>Question: Are there other faster playbacks tools other than mplayer -sstep 1 that would <u>NOT</u> show the progress bar?<br>Hope my question is clear.<br>Thanks in advance,<br>Stephen<br></span></div></body></html>
