Video is choppy while playing DVDs
If you see lots of dropped frames or your video is choppy (when playing DVDs), check DMA is correctly enabled on your system. It is enabled by default on Solaris Nevada or OpenSolaris 2008.05, but disabled on Solaris 10.

# eeprom atapi-cd-dma-enabled
atapi-cd-dma-enabled=0

If atapi-cd-dma-enabled is set to 0, DMA is diabled. Follow the instruction below to enable it.

# eeprom atapi-cd-dma-enabled=1
# eeprom atapi-cd-dma-enabled
atapi-cd-dma-enabled=1

You need to reboot the system for DMA to take effect.
Video player crashes with BadMatch when loading XVideo module
This happen if you are using ATI graphics card. There are two workarounds for this.

Use XShm module

# xine -V xshm

But it seems that CPU usage is little bit higher compared to XVideo module.

Start X with LD_NODIRECT=1

# cp /usr/dt/config/Xservers /etc/dt/config/
# vi /etc/dt/config/Xservers
...
:0 Local local_uid@console root /bin/env LD_NODIRECT=1 /usr/X11/bin/Xserver :0 -nobanner

restart your X session
