First impressions:
decoding very CPU intensive HD content in mkv/x264 in 0.9.9a is now much better compared to 0.9.9 (and earlier). There's barely any skipping now and the CPU usage has gone down a little.
Question: is it because of the new ffmpeg by itself? Is multithread enabled by default? If not, how is it possible to enable it?
Thank you in advance and congrats for the great job you've done with 0.9.9a!

Reasons
- Faster FFmpeg is a part
- Fixing of the internal core timing on OSX is another part

Re: About 0.9.9a
Excellent release 0.9.9a is!
Question: is the decoding now multithreaded? I'm asking since the latest release (rev 9) of MPlayer OSX Extended now has experimental multithreaded decoding (using FFMPEG-MT) and it works beautifly! It plays my 1080p MKVs like a dream. I would love VLC to do the same

No. Becaue FFmpeg-mt is still experimental and prone to crash.Question: is the decoding now multithreaded?

Re: About 0.9.9a
I stand behind this. we should not use ffmpeg-mt, until the -mt part is added into the main ffmpeg. It's just an impossible feat when it comes to maintenance and stuff.

Re: About 0.9.9a
You could just make it a simple preference toggle like Mplayer OSX Extended does that way it can be tested, but not everyone would have to.

That would be really awesome..You could just make it a simple preference toggle like Mplayer OSX Extended does that way it can be tested, but not everyone would have to.
What kind of programming knowledge is needed to develop for VLC? I read some books on (Objective) C and Cocoa programming for Mac, but never really got busy programming, since I didn't have a project to work on.. Prior to that I made some apps in (wx)Python, but nothing spectacular..

Re: About 0.9.9a
that would still require us to keep 2 trees of ffmpeg in maintenance. One is proving difficult enough. Esp. with 10.4 and ppc support.
