How to enable DivX4Linux support? ================================= 1. Download the codec: http://download2.projectmayo.com/dnload/divx4linux/divx4linux-20010718.zip 2. Unpack it, and copy files to their place: cp libdivxdecore.so.0.0.0 /usr/local/lib/ ln -s /usr/local/lib/libdivxdecore.so.0.0.0 /usr/local/lib/libdivxdecore.so.0 ln -s /usr/local/lib/libdivxdecore.so.0 /usr/local/lib/libdivxdecore.so ldconfig cp decore.h /usr/local/include/ 3. Run mplayer's ./configure Change #undef NEW_DECORE to #define NEW_DECORE in config.h Change #define MPEG12_POSTPROC to #undef MPEG12_POSTPROC in config.h Change DECORE_LIBS in config.mak to be: DECORE_LIBS=-L/usr/local/lib -ldivxdecore 4. Compile mplayer (make;make install) 5. How to enable it? It's a bit tricky. As it conflicts with opendivx (it's API is very similar to opendivx's), opendivx code is disabled, and the opendivx driver calls this library too. You have 2 choices: -vc odivx : using divx4 codec as a new version of opendivx. in this case it produces YV12 image in its own buffer, and MPlayer (libvo) does colorspace conversion. -vc divx4 : using divx4 codec's colorspace conversion. in this mode, you can use YUY2/UYVY too. Note: for YV12 (planar YUV 4:2:0) -vc odivx is faster, for packed YUV modes (YUY2, UYVY) use -vc divx4. For RGB modes you can choose, I think their speed is the same. Maybe it depends on current bpp. Note: it supports postprocessing too, but range of values is strange: 0 = no postproc 10 .. 20 = postproc, normal (like level 2 with divxds) 30 .. 60 = hard postproc, eats many cpu. (like level 4 with divxds)
