The basics...

kernel : 2.6.25.9
distro: debian / stable
vlc: 0.9.1

Compiling from source yields the error below. I'm probably missing a dep or didn't disable something. Although configure worked fine. I downloaded vlc-0.9.1.tar.bz2 this morning. Debian is up to date as of this morning as well. Several from source efforts faad2, faac, x264, lame, and I don't have many of the SVN ones on that table of deps page. Any hints. I'm trying to play .MTS files (H.264) as I'm looking at getting an HD camcorder. And trying to compare the results of AVCHD 24Mbps vs. HDV on an older model.

Thanks in advance.

Update your FFmpeg

Thanks, that seems to have worked.

Any tips for compile options for a dual core cpu? I'm still lagging severely in performance on MTS files. But I can play them finally. In a sort of stop motion, disable the audio type fashion.

./configure --enable-????

for vlc and ffmpeg? I seem to only be using one core on the cpu gauge in IceWM.

more than 5 seconds of late video -> dropping frame (computer too slow?)

AMD Athlon (tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3600+
1GB Ram
nVidia GeForce 6100 nForce 430 (rev a2)
1.9GHz x2 CPUs

libavcodec (from FFMpeg project) is used to decode H.264 and is monothread at the moment.

Linux:

kernel : 2.4.26
distro: debian / stable
vlc: 1.0.5

Compiling from source yields the error below.

./configure –prefix=/usr –disable-mad –disable-swscale –disable-postproc –disable-glx –disable-qt4 –disable-skins2

I have installed ffmpeg package with "apt-get install ffmpeg", but it doesn't help. Any idea? Thanks,

libavcodec looks too old

Hi,

I encountered the same problem, however, it's not because of libavcodec.

Any help would be appreciated.

Mark

Update avcodec.
