TCMP video is like a slide show! What's wrong?!

Big fan of TCMP, however when I installed it on my Mogul, the video is so choppy the screen barely updates!

The audio goes fine, but the first frame is frozen until a few moments later, then another frame pops up and is frozen like that again.

This is very frustrating because TCMP worked like a champ for Divx on my previous WM devices!

What's wrong? Any ideas?

Click on Options -> Video, and change from DirectDraw to either Raw FrameBuffer or GDI. That should drastically improve video quality.

what happened to directdraw then?

That's strange... isn't directdraw more efficient?
Not sure what disadvantages there are in NOT using it, but it always was the best setting before the mogul...

I don't know the specifics of why changing it works, I just know it does. Sorry.

each WM device has a different processor and architecture. That's why some work on some devices, but not on others.
