I just wanted to say "Boy, this is ugly and buggy", but then, the copyright notices are actually much more interesting, especially given todays discussions on ffmpeg-devel;-) Carl Eugen ___ Packman mailing list Packman@links2linux.de http://lists.links2linux.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/packman

I hope so. vlc will (hopefully), since they are still working on it. The only xine implementation I found is here: http://www.jusst.de/vdpau/filedetails.php?repname=xine-vdpau&path=%2Fsrc%2Flibvdpau%2Fvdpau_h264.c It is a nice example of "include all the problems of Nvidia's original implementation".

Maybe others will use it, we have different players using external ffmpeg (libxine, vlc, gstreamer, maybe more). I've also build libxine 1.2 with vdpau support, but doesn't make much sence to include it to the repository, the frontends will not use it until they are compiled against it (libxine.so.1 vs. libxine.so.2). It's in testing/xine-cvs/xine-lib-1.2 on our mirrors. -- Machs gut| http://www.iivs.de/schwinde/buerger/tremmel/ Manfred | http://packman.links2linux.de/ ___ Packman mailing list Packman@links2linux.de http://lists.links2linux.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/packman

As I said, please include, but I'd like to add that contrary to what you might have read lately from seamingly competent sources, ffmpeg itself does *not* support vdpau currently. I contains code that allows video players with vdpau support to actually use hardware accelerated decoding. AFAIK, (sadly) only MPlayer currently uses this approach. Since packman's MPlayer uses static libavcodec (as it should), it does not make much difference if your ffmpeg binary supports vdpau (for video players) or not.

I've rebuilding ffmpeg one or two times a month from cvs. We had trouble with some builds in the past, that's true, but vlc is one thing I'm testing before I'm uploading a new package.

I don't have a GPU which supports vdpau (end even if I had, I wouldn't use it as longe there's no free driver which supports it), but I've tested the vdpau supported codecs on my non vdpau computers. It doesn't have any negativ effect (it workes like before and I can't see any speed differences), so why not including it? -- Machs gut| http://www.iivs.de/schwinde/buerger/tremmel/ Manfred | http://packman.links2linux.de/ ___ Packman mailing list Packman@links2linux.de http://lists.links2linux.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/packman

Thanks for the hint. I just packaged the VDPAU headers by extracting them from nVidia driver packages: http://packman.links2linux.org/package/nvidia-vdpau-devel So.. that should be enough for VDPAU support in MPlayer.

[packman] MPlayer VDPAU
Hi! MPlayer is planning a release atm. I wanted to explain that it is possible to build the executable with vdpau support without actually linking against a library: Only the header files (vdpau.h and vdpau_x11.h, both BSD licensed) have to be present in /usr/include/vdpau on the building environment, configure autodetects them and the executable tries to load the library dynamically when -vo vdpau is selected.
