On my slower machine WV will play only the first few seconds
of my MPEG2-HD files. There is some frame skipping and A/V is
out of sync. Then it will simply stop. I think, an older version
did a better job, but also stopped after a few minutes. I have
not tried what happens on the faster machine.


The system load is identical when watching a DVD.

That might be true on fast systems.


And with DIVE the system seems to be much more stable.

But you don't get smooth edges on scaling. Take a closer
look at diagonal lines or text at the beginning or end of
a movie...

BTW, the DIVE code in WV seems to be broken for years now.
Did you notice, that sometimes other windows covering the
video window (for example it's own context menu) will be
partially overpainted ? This usually happens, when the
video window is sized so, that it does not have the same
aspect ratio as the video itself i.e. the lower left corner
of the active video is not identical with the lower left
corner of the window.
