24 unsupported by <B>MPlayer</B>, because it simply SKIPS MMX/3DNow codes, it just does |
1682 | 25 not compile it. Important: this is NOT an <B>MPlayer</B>-specific problem, |

63 <P>But we has idegs (the word 'ideg' is described further in the FAQ). And our | |
64 idegcounters overflow again and again.</P> | |
65 | |
66 <P>Unfortunately MPlayer is out of our control. It's used by lamers, Linux users | |
67 who can't even use windows, and never tried to compile a kernel. They installed | |
68 (with default options) Mandrake or RedHat or Suse, and without RTFM'ing they | |
69 send messages saying 'it doesn't work! help me! please! i'm new to the linux! | |
70 help! oh! help me!'. We can't stop them, but at least we try to force them RTFM | |
71 and to read fuckin' messages of ./configure and mplayer.</P> | |
72 | |
73 <P>And you clever guys come and flame us with gcc 2.96 and binary packages. | |
74 Instead of helping users or making patches to help solve problems.</P> | |
75 | |
76 <P>Half of our spare/free time is spent by answering silly mails here and | |
77 making newer tricks and checks to configure to avoid such mails.</P> | |
78 | |
79 <P>And there is a balance. On one hand are you, clever guys, saying we are very | |
80 bad because we don't like buggy gcc 2.96, and at the other hand there are the | |
81 'new to linux' guys who are showing us gcc 2.96 is buggy.</P> | |
82 | |
83 <P>Conclusinion: we can't be good. Half of people always will say we are bad.</P> | |
84 | |
85 <P>Maybe we should close the project, make it closed source, commercial, and | |
86 provide install support for it. then we could leave current work, so | |
87 development could go faster, and we earn lots of money with it and buy a big | |
88 house, etc etc. Do you really want it? It seems.</P> | |

1892 | 301 It's from Gerard Lantau's ffmpeg package (<A HREF="http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net">http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net</A>). |
1785 | 302 It has C language DivX ;-) and OpenDivX alpha 47 codec. Some benchmarks |
1682 | 303 showed that its DivX seems to be even faster than DirectShow codec without |
304 preprocessing, and only a few percent slower than ProjectMayo's DivX4 | |
305 decoder. It uses YV12 pixel format, so old Voodoo users can use it for YUV. | |

307 has a C compiler. Kinda great stuff, isn't it? | |

1682 | 452 It works only if running as root! It's a DGA limitation. |
453 You should become to root (su -), and try again. | |
454 Another solution is making mplayer SUID root, but its NOT RECOMMENDED!<BR> | |
455 <CODE>chown root /usr/local/bin/mplayer</CODE><BR> | |
456 <CODE>chmod 750 /usr/local/bin/mplayer</CODE><BR> | |
457 <CODE>chmod +s /usr/local/bin/mplayer</CODE><BR> | |
458 <B>!!!! BUT STAY TUNED !!!!</B><BR> | |
459 This is a *BIG* security risk! *NEVER* do this on a server or on a computer | |
460 can be accessed by more people than only you because they can gain root | |
461 privilegies through suid root mplayer!!!<BR> | |

1682 | 488 Since 0.18pre4 we support libavcodec from the ffmpeg package. It contains |
489 a C language DivX and OpenDivX decoder. The DivX decoder uses YV12 format | |
490 for output, thus it should work for you. Compile in libavcodec support. | |

2153 | 528 There's no way to do it. Therefore this format deserves to die in flames. |
1682 | 529 Theoretically you can reverse engineer Real codecs built for Linux (they |
530 are available as .so files), but in practice that's really difficult, even | |
531 if you know how the compiler used by Real is making assembler code. | |
