Hi andrew
Interestingly enough the MPlayer devs have raised the bar again to build 65:
http://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer?view=rev&revision=28869
And of course looks like Jaunty is going to ship with build 65, not 60 as I mentioned before.

You think that's air you're breathing now?
Mplayer is moving ahead. Todays compile is working on VDPAU for AVC, VC1, WMV2 and MPEG1/2. The NVIDIA 180.37 drivers have important fixes for GPU acceleration. Now we just need fixes for:
* Working motion adaptive temporal deinterlacer unlike the crappy simple one implemented currently
* MS WMA Pro decoding - this has been coming for ages and not delivered despite GSOC work on it
And I'll be really impressed if libavcodec ever gets a decoding feature for:
MS WMVP
MS WVP2
Intel IV41
Intel IV50

Yes my friend
There is the power of VDPAU
In that file, you have AVC encoding, and to make matters extreme, its 1920x1080 at a bitrate of 40mbps!!
My old test system with its boat anchor AMD Sempron single core does it without breaking a sweat about 15% cpu utilisation. On the other hand my quad core corei7 system without vdpau cant do it........

Just a heads up for a cool vdpinfo utility:

It queries the VDPAU capabilities of your system.

I'm trying to combine this guide with this CoreAVC for Linux guide, since I have an MSI Wind, which can't play 720p content without CoreAVC.
Everything looks good so far, but I can't manage to pull mplayer from svn.
Any mirrors? :<Code:zorael@tleilax:~/coreavc$ svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer svn: Can't connect to host 'svn.mplayerhq.hu': Connection timed out zorael@tleilax:~/coreavc$ ping svn.mplayerhq.hu PING svn.mplayerhq.hu (213.144.138.186) 56(84) bytes of data. <endless wait> ^C --- svn.mplayerhq.hu ping statistics --- 187 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 186745ms zorael@tleilax:~/coreavc$ sudo tracert svn.mplayerhq.hu traceroute to svn.mplayerhq.hu (213.144.138.186), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets 1 mail1.telia.com (10.0.0.1) 1.734 ms 3.275 ms 4.270 ms 2 gw3-no27.tbcn.telia.com (81.232.154.1) 13.606 ms 14.607 ms 15.376 ms 3 s-bb2-link.telia.net (80.91.254.182) 30.601 ms 31.382 ms 32.341 ms 4 s-b1-link.telia.net (80.91.252.125) 33.408 ms 33.893 ms 34.980 ms 5 level3-117311-s-b3.telia.net (213.248.78.110) 35.688 ms 36.667 ms * 6 ae-5-5.ebr1.Dusseldorf1.Level3.net (4.69.140.198) 65.550 ms 53.023 ms 53.835 ms 7 ae-2-2.ebr2.Frankfurt1.Level3.net (4.69.132.138) 51.758 ms 50.490 ms 51.122 ms 8 ae-7-7.car2.Zurich1.Level3.net (4.69.133.238) 57.129 ms * * 9 ae-11-11.car1.Zurich1.Level3.net (4.69.133.233) 60.212 ms 59.159 ms 61.118 ms 10 INIT-SEVEN.car1.Zurich1.Level3.net (213.242.67.54) 58.238 ms 67.164 ms 69.529 ms 11 r1zur2.core.init7.net (77.109.128.242) 57.740 ms 58.604 ms 60.766 ms 12 r1zba1.core.init7.net (77.109.128.206) 61.402 ms 62.151 ms 64.575 ms 13 r1zba1.ce.init7.net (77.109.128.178) 65.333 ms 66.064 ms 56.994 ms 14 * * * 15 * * * 16 * * * 17 * * * 18 * * * 19 * * * 20 * * * 21 * * * 22 * * * 23 * * * 24 * * * 25 * * * 26 * * * 27 * * * 28 * * * 29 * * * 30 * * *

No quotes but I do have a question.
I've avoided using Linux until the horrible video tearing with ATI drivers is under control. Seems that milestone is being reached with the release of Jaunty. However, the alpha 6 dist is still quite green and quite slow, even incomplete. I need something more stable. So I installed Intrepid and upgraded to the xserver-xorg package from Jaunty to get the tear free video. It works OK, finally. Now I need to be able to use my game pad in Mplayer and something as simple as compiling mplayer becomes a nightmare. Apparently there are some big changes in the libc6, libxi-dev and a few other packages that prevent me from satisfying compile requirements.
I just want to be able to add joystick support. Can I compile mplayer on my debian 5.0 server and expect it to run under Jaunty?

Hi Siggma,
I am afraid that I have no answer for what sounds like a fairly complex compilation problem. I hope that perhaps others may have some insight into this problem.
Apologies,
Andrew
