That's strange indeed. I've not seen it. |

Maybe your rendering engine has something to do with it. Do you have |
| 11 |
kmplayer set to use mplayer or xine or gstreamer (the choices you have |
| 12 |
will depend on the USE flags you merged kmplayer with)? In general (that |
| 13 |
is, not just with kmplayer, but otherwise as well), xinelib has worked |
| 14 |
better for me than mplayer, which I unmerged (and have the USE flag off |
| 15 |
as well) as not worth the trouble. Xinelib "just works" with videos I |
| 16 |
never could get mplayer to work with -- missing codecs or whatever. As |
| 17 |
for gstreamer, in kmplayer I've not had much luck with it, and I don't use |
| 18 |
it much outside of that. Thus, xine is almost exclusively what I use with |
| 19 |
kmplayer. |

What that'd have to do with playing avis and the like from CD/DVD I'm not |
| 22 |
sure, but anyway, it's worth a try to toggle the engine kmplayer is using, |
| 23 |
to see if that helps. |

It also might be worth asking on the desktop list, as that's the kind of |
| 26 |
questions asked there, and you'd get a wider non-amd64 audience there |
| 27 |
(this issue might not be amd64 related). |
