Hi Alan,

In reply to your earlier email, I did try to run the example 'playvideo' 
program again on my IMX27 ADS board with your suggested change. Please 
note that I am using LTIB rel 3.0 from freescale. I am still unable to 
get the display on the panel. I see the following output though:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Decoder maximal reserved 4 buffers.
Actually buffer status:
        hardware buffer : 6
        software buffer : 0
Set max lateness = 20000000.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried to set codec type to "std_mpeg4" and still get same 
result/output as above.

Any clue on what am I missing in this setup ??
