- libavcodec:
- This codec package is capable
- of decoding H.263/MJPEG/RV10/DivX3/DivX4/DivX5/MP41/MP42/WMV1/WMV2/SVQ1/SVQ3 encoded video
- streams and WMA (Windows Media Audio) v1/v2 audio streams, on multiple
- platforms. It is also known to be the fastest for this task. See
- FFmpeg section for details. Features:
-
-
- gain decoding of videos mentioned above, on non-x86 machines
-
-
- encoding with most of the mentioned codecs
-
-
- this codec is the fastest codec available for
- DivX/3/4/5 and other MPEG-4 types. Recommended!
-
-
-
-
- Win32 codecs: If you plan to use
- MPlayer on x86 architecture, you will possibly need
- them. Download a codec package from our
- download page
- and put the codecs in /usr/local/lib/codecs
- BEFORE compiling MPlayer,
- otherwise no Win32 support will be compiled!
- The avifile project has similar codecs package, but it
- differs from ours, so if you want to use all supported codecs, then use
- our package (do not worry, avifile works with it without problems).
-
- Features:
-
-
- you need this if you want to play or encode for example movies recorded
- with various hardware compressors, like tuner cards, digital cameras
- (example: DV, ATI VCR, MJPEG)
-
-
- needed if you want to play WMV9/WMA9 movies.
-
-
- Not needed for old ASF's with MP41 or MP42 video (though VoxWare audio is
- frequent for these files - it's done by the Win32 codec), or WMV7. Also not
- needed for WMA (Windows Media Audio),
- libavcodec has open source decoder
- for that.
-
-
-
-
- QuickTime codecs: on x86 platforms these
- codecs can be used to decode RPZA, and other QuickTime video,
- and QDesign audio streams. Installation instructions can be found in the
- Sorenson video codec section.
-
-
- XviD: Open source encoding alternative to
- DivX4Linux. Features:
-
-
- one pass or two pass encoding with
- MEncoder
-
-
- it's open-source, so it's multiplatform.
-
-
- it's about 2 times faster than divX4 when encoding - about the same
- quality
-
-
-
-
- The XAnim codecs
- are the best (full screen, hardware YUV zoom) for decoding
- 3ivx and Indeo 3/4/5 movies, and some old
- formats. And they are multiplatform, so this is the only way to play Indeo on
- non-x86 platforms (well, apart from using XAnim:). But for example Cinepak movies
- are best played with MPlayer's own Cinepak decoder!
-
-
- For Ogg Vorbis audio decoding you need to
- install libvorbis properly.
- You can get binary packages and source code from the
- Ogg Vorbis site.
-
-
- MPlayer can use the libraries of RealPlayer 8
- or RealONE to play files with
- RealVideo 3.0 and 4.0
- video, and Sipro/Cook audio. See the
- RealMedia file format
- section for installation instructions and more information.
