1892 | 239 It's from Gerard Lantau's ffmpeg package (<A HREF="http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net">http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net</A>). |
1785 | 240 It has C language DivX ;-) and OpenDivX alpha 47 codec. Some benchmarks |
1682 | 241 showed that its DivX seems to be even faster than DirectShow codec without |
242 preprocessing, and only a few percent slower than ProjectMayo's DivX4 | |
243 decoder. It uses YV12 pixel format, so old Voodoo users can use it for YUV. | |
244 Also, open the possibility to play DivX on virtually every computer that | |
245 has a C compiler. Kinda great stuff, isn't it? | |

1682 | 464 Is there a hint on how to watch QuickTime and RealMedia movies in MPlayer? |

1682 | 466 There's no way to do it. Therefore these formats deserve to die in flames. |
467 Theoretically you can reverse engineer Real codecs built for Linux (they | |
468 are available as .so files), but in practice that's really difficult, even | |
469 if you know how the compiler used by Real is making assembler code. | |
470 As for QuickTime, it's possible to play some old movies and this | |
471 capability will be added to mplayer soon, but newer clips are all Sorenson | |
472 encoded, and that codec is built-in deep in the QT executable, there's | |
473 no way to use it. | |
