# 4.2. Increasing MPlayer Cache

I noticed that by adding more cache to the mplayer command that Freevo used helped with my DVD playback as well. It didn't completely solve the problem, but it did help. What finally solved my problem was enabling DMA, but your mileage may vary. In freevo_config.py look for the variable MPLAYER_ARGS_DVD. It should look something like this:

    MPLAYER_ARGS_DVD     = '-cache 8192 -dvd %s'

I upped it to 32768 (32MB). You can change it to whatever you like using the following equation: 1024 * MB where MB is the number of MB you want to cache.
