Not that I’m impressed a lot, but this is more than I expected when I stumpled upon a link on Delicious telling that the info here is awesome. Thanks.

I was wondering where I download the command line version that is compatible with windows? It sounds like this is the MEncoder that I have come across. However, when I click on the link to download nothing seems to happen. Any idea what is going on?

@1: will test :)

@2: yes, I use it by default. I suspect the problem may be related to disk activity, as my Vista really likes to do lots of I/O in the background, so maybe there are some threads synchronization problems? But then it shouldn’t be visible with “-lavdopts threads=1″… I think.

Thank you for your warm-heartedness. I really like your MT versions.
Put it in the user’s APPDATA path is a good idea.
Besides, I just want to try the newer functions in MPlayer. Haha.
Thanks for your good work again!

@1: I’m gonna revise the fontconfig stuff this weekend, change it to use %appdata% or %userprofile%\fontconfig\cache and hopefully there won’t be more troubles :)

@2: that’s pretty weird… have you tried with “-lavdopts threads=1″?

ps: that’s ok :)

Putting the fontcache files in the same folder as mplayer would be bad if you use mplayer portably, specially on a flash device (it would rewrite the cache every time you install/remove a font or use the disk on another computer). But I could make it put in %appdata%, I guess.

I used to build them more frequently, but I’ve been busy for a while :(
Gonna try to speed up again :)

Hi! Thanks for the FFmpeg-mt build of mplayer — it plays all my 1080p movies great with my Intel Core 2 1.83 GHz and Geforce Go 7400. I was wondering if you also incorporated this:

“FFmpeg has also added some optimizations from the x264 project. To fully utilize these you will need to make sure a recent version of YASM is installed and detected by the latest SVN MPlayer when compiling.
Using -lavdopts skiploopfilter=all:fast=1 will cause artifacts, but may allow you to play larger files in realtime. ”

into your new build?

thanks,
Jonathan

@1: The problem is that when the .fonconfig does not exist, cache is created in a movie subfolder. When I manually created the dir and copied the cache there, MPlayer started to use it.

@2: I’m asking, because your newest builds work very slow on my system (even 720p on Core 2 Duo @3.2 GHz stutters, especially on scene changes or fast action). I’m not sure if it’s ffmpeg-mt’s fault (it seems that increasing number of threads make the problem worse) or something else, but MPlayer packaged with SMPlayer (I haven’t tested the newest version yet) does not have this problem.

Ah, and thanks for your work by the way :).

ps. Unfortunatelly I don’t have access to IRC…
