You'll have to install svgalib and its development package in order for
<span class="application">MPlayer</span> build its SVGAlib driver (autodetected,
but can be forced), and don't forget to edit
<tt class="filename">/etc/vga/libvga.config</tt> to suit your card and monitor.
</p><div class="note" title="Note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
Be sure not to use the <tt class="option">-fs</tt> switch, since it toggles the
usage of the software scaler, and it's slow. If you really need it, use the
<tt class="option">-sws 4</tt> option which will produce bad quality, but is
somewhat faster.
</p></div><p title="EGA (4BPP) SUPPORT"><b>EGA (4BPP) SUPPORT. </b>
SVGAlib incorporates EGAlib, and <span class="application">MPlayer</span> has the
possibility to display any movie in 16 colors, thus usable in the following
sets:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>
  EGA card with EGA monitor: 320x200x4bpp, 640x200x4bpp, 640x350x4bpp
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
  EGA card with CGA monitor: 320x200x4bpp, 640x200x4bpp
</p></li></ul></div><p>
The bpp (bits per pixel) value must be set to 4 by hand:
<tt class="option">-bpp 4</tt>
</p><p>
The movie probably must be scaled down to fit in EGA mode:
</p><pre class="screen">-vf scale=640:350</pre><p>
or
</p><pre class="screen">-vf scale=320:200</pre><p>
</p><p>
For that we need fast but bad quality scaling routine:
</p><pre class="screen">-sws 4</pre><p>
</p><p>
Maybe automatic aspect correction has to be shut off:
</p><pre class="screen">-noaspect</pre><p>
</p><div class="note" title="Note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
According to my experience the best image quality on
EGA screens can be achieved by decreasing the brightness a bit:
<tt class="option">-vf eq=-20:0</tt>. I also needed to lower the audio
samplerate on my box, because the sound was broken on 44kHz:
<tt class="option">-srate 22050</tt>.
</p></div><p>
You can turn on OSD and subtitles only with the <tt class="option">expand</tt>
filter, see the man page for exact parameters.
