All of a sudden I couldn’t compile mplayer on my fedora8 box:
Linux moon 2.6.26.6-49.fc8 #1 SMP Fri Oct 17 15:59:36 EDT 2008 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
I’ve tried to compile revision #27827, but it gave me after the make command always this (see below), no matter what I’ve tried.
.
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
.
and a really big bunch of undefined references.
I’ve installed ffmpeg and x264, and compiled mplayer like this:
./configure --disable-libavutil_a --disable-libavcodec_a --disable-libavformat_a
Then it worked. Since I’m not an expert, I don’t know what exactly I have done. However it’s working now.

I try to play back footage from Canon’s HF100 camcorder, which records with up to 17MBit/s. Here for I’m using CoreCodec’s latest CoreAVC decoder on Linux with coreavc-for-linux. Version 1.8.5.0 has been released on 17th of October 2008, and I was awaiting this version eagerly, since I had the expectation, AVCHD (.mts) is going to work with the new version. I’ve also started this little page to collect affected AVCHD camcorders in a list, where you see what is known not to work atm for CoreAVC Decoder. Help appreciated.
The day they’ve published their new decoder, they wrote into their changelog: Continue reading ‘Playback Problem with Canon HF100 AVCHD (.mts) and CoreAVC 1.8.5.0 (Linux)’

This is small HOWTO about running the CoreAVC decoder (dshowserver) on a 64Bit Unbuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex)
This should work for other 64bit Linux-Distros, like Debian, Fedora, SuSE, Gentoo, etc… also. With the CoreAVC decoder for Linux you should be able to play back H.264 content in FullHD (1920x1080p, VC1 is not supported). In comparison to the the native mplayer H.264 playback, only CoreAVC is able to utilize all cores of your CPU simultaneously at the moment. Please consider, NVIDIA has published a Beta driver (180.06, 180.08, 180.11), which allows already now a rudimentary hardware acceleration support for HD content (including VC1). Feedback welcome.

Alan fixed the Segmentation Fault issue for CoreAVC version 1.8.5.0, so Matroska files can be played back again. See this thread at his project site: #62
Unfortunately AVCHD has still issues. So CoreAVC version 1.8.5.0 still doesn’t work regarding playback of AVCHD footage from my Canon HF100. I think Panasonic HDC-SD1/5/9/100 is also affected.
If you have a at least 2.7GHz processor, you can use the latest mplayer from their repository. Continue reading ‘The Linux AVCHD (.mts) Playback HOWTO with MPlayer’
