14 gcc 2.96 is RedHat's UNOFFICIAL (it can be found only on RedHat sites, or
|
|
|
15 RedHat distributions) and BUGGY gcc release. gcc 2.96 is TOTALLY
|
|
|
16 unsupported by <B>MPlayer</B>, because it simply SKIPS MMX codes, it just does
|
|

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

18 numerous other projects (DRI, avifile, etc..) have problems with this shit

117 What are you doing on Linux? Can't you install a library? Why do

303 security patches (for example Solar Designer's OpenWall patch) which

304 forces loading libraries to very low addresses.

305 Because l3codeca.acm is a non-relocatable DLL, it must be loaded to

412 Since 0.18pre4 we support libavcodec from the ffmpeg package. It contains

|

413 a C language DivX and OpenDivX decoder. The DivX decoder uses YV12 format
|
|
|
414 for output, thus it should work for you. Compile in libavcodec support.

440 Is there a hint on how to watch QuickTime and RealMedia movies in MPlayer?
|
|
|
441 </B></TD><TR><TD></TD><TD VALIGN=top>A:</TD><TD>
|
|
|
442 There's no way to do it. Therefore these formats deserve to die in flames.
|
|
|
443 Theoretically you can reverse engineer Real codecs built for Linux (they
|
|
|
444 are available as .so files), but in practice that's really difficult, even
|
|
|
445 if you know how the compiler used by Real is making assembler code.
|
|
|
446 As for QuickTime, it's possible to play some old movies and this
|
|
|
447 capability will be added to mplayer soon, but newer clips are all Sorenson
|
|
|
448 encoded, and that codec is built-in deep in the QT executable, there's
|
|
|
449 no way to use it.
