16 gcc 2.96 is RedHat's UNOFFICIAL (it can be found only on RedHat sites, or

17 RedHat distributions) and BUGGY gcc release. gcc 2.96 is TOTALLY
|

19 not compile it. Important: this is NOT an <B>MPlayer</B>-specific problem,

88 correctly. It's called XFree86-devel* under RedHat, and xlib6g-dev* under

89 Debian. Also check if the /usr/X11 symlink exists (this can be a problem on

245 It's from Gerard Lantau's ffmpeg package (<A HREF="http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net">http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net</A>).
|
|
1785
|
246 It has C language DivX ;-) and OpenDivX alpha 47 codec. Some benchmarks
|
|
1682
|
247 showed that its DivX seems to be even faster than DirectShow codec without
|
|
|
248 preprocessing, and only a few percent slower than ProjectMayo's DivX4
|
|
|
249 decoder. It uses YV12 pixel format, so old Voodoo users can use it for YUV.
|
|
|
250 Also, open the possibility to play DivX on virtually every computer that
|
|
|
251 has a C compiler. Kinda great stuff, isn't it?

423 Since 0.18pre4 we support libavcodec from the ffmpeg package. It contains
|
|
|
424 a C language DivX and OpenDivX decoder. The DivX decoder uses YV12 format
|
|
|
425 for output, thus it should work for you. Compile in libavcodec support.

431 Your opengl driver doesn't support dynamic texture changes (glTexSubImage)
|
|
|
432 It's known not to work with nVidia's binary shit.
|
|
|
433 It's known to work with Utah-GLX/DRI and Matrox G400 card. Also with
|
|
|
434 DRI and Radeon card. It won't work with DRI others than these.
|
|
|
435 it will not work with 3DFX cards because the 256x256 texture size limit.

439 I have an nVidia TNT/TNT2 card, and I have a band with strange colours,

442 It's the nVidia X driver's. These bugs are ONLY with the TNT/TNT2 cards,

443 and we can't do anything about it, it's not our bug.

453 There's no way to do it. Therefore these formats deserve to die in flames.
|
|
|
454 Theoretically you can reverse engineer Real codecs built for Linux (they
|
|
|
455 are available as .so files), but in practice that's really difficult, even
|
|
|
456 if you know how the compiler used by Real is making assembler code.
|
|
|
457 As for QuickTime, it's possible to play some old movies and this
|
|
|
458 capability will be added to mplayer soon, but newer clips are all Sorenson
|
|
|
459 encoded, and that codec is built-in deep in the QT executable, there's
|
|
|
460 no way to use it.
