Mplayer is slow on some video format ... ??

[Elijah]

Kinda happens a lot on some *.avi and *.mov files.... I've mixed and matched a lot of video and audio options and the video is still too slow to catch up with my sound....

here's my ~.mplayer/config

vo = xv
ao = alsa9 #oss #sdl
autosync = 9999
ni = yes
idx = yes
nobps = yes
double = yes
autoq = 2
#hardframedrop = yes
nocache = yes

maybe anyone can help out with this?

btw. I've tried hardframedrop/framedrop, sdl and oss but it didn't work out...
Hdparm too, both my hd's already have dma and 32-bit I/O support on them ...
