@evelkeneevel
Thanks!
Almost lost ffmpeg-mt out of my focus. Actually it was the first thing I’ve tried at all, before I began to focus on CoreAVC.
Few month ago only a few repository changes were made over a couple of weeks, and this made me think the whole project it doomed to die somehow.
I’m really glad they’re alive and kicking.

i used coreavc-for-linux after following your instructions, and it worked perfectly! Still, a few days ago i discovered the multithreaded ffmpeg version, and mplayer’s playback is less CPU-intensive that way in my system, compared to coreavc-for-linux. If anyone is interested, follow the instructions of the first post, it worked just fine for me!

@Viper
Sorry, I though we are talking about this one: http://blog.mymediasystem.net/?p=727
I’ve build already an binary package for x86_64 Ubuntu 8.10. Just download and install it like described.
Btw: There are other interesting posts regarding H264 acceleration in this blog. Look for “vdpau” or NVIDIA, they’ve got hardware acceleration working now for NVIDIA cards. (Beta!)

Regards,
Andreas

Actually I meant the static build, I realized the source code comes with coreAVC. I tried to compile myself with STATIC=1 but I got some errors. My O.S. is also Ubuntu 8.10, could you upload to megaupload dshowserver and registercodec already compiled???

Did just “sudo make -C STATIC=1″ work?

I got some error compiling loader too.

Thank you very much

It’s all here: http://code.google.com/p/coreavc-for-linux/source/checkout,
except the last binary for the x86_64 edition. As far as I can see, I’m the only one who’s offering this for download atm. But of course you can compile it on a 32bit machine with the STATIC=1 switch, and use it on a x86_64 box then. It’s just some people don’t have two machines to complile on, or even some don’t know how to compile at all(yes, they are out there

dhanar_10, I guess you installed dshowserver r82 according to CoreAVC revision, didn’t you?

Where did you get dshowserver r82 source to compile or the binaries already compiled?

@chx hmm, good point. And mplayer's './configure' does recognize the presence of these additional libs on its own, and handle the rest automatically, right?

Dont forget that for OSD you need the libfontconfig-dev and the libfreetype6-dev packages…
