2641 if it runs well, then mplayer -o gl should work, too.
2642 it works on G400+Utah-GLX, but segfaults in the G400 driver of X 4.0.2/DRI.
2643 try it with different cards/drivers, and please report me the results.

2677 [i haven't yet found method to get fps out from ASF headers :(((]
2678 - some error and consistency checking into demux_asf
2679 if you see many warning! messages playing an ASF file, then contact
2680 me and upload the file (first 1MB is enough if it represents the problem)
2681 Don't forget: there is no public doc about the ASF file format, so
2682 everything we know is suspected and can be wrong... without your help
2683 we will never have a working ASF player...
2684 - ASF fragment offset checks disabled for grouping...

2692 It's able to blit whole frames, not only 16-pixel slices...
2693 - libmpeg2 and opendivx codec changed to use new draw_slice()
2694 -> opendivx extra 64-pixel width band at right disappeared!
2695 - MPEG bitrate fix: if picture->bitrate==0x3FFFF (means "unspecified" ?)
2696 then using standard VCD bitrate (75*2324 bytes/sec)
2697 -> fixed seeking for those MPEGs with "16MBit/s" bitrate...
2698 - drivers/sis_vid: video4linux interface disabled
2699 - broken VCD playing fixed: stream_reset shouldn't seek to 0x0...
2700 [bugreport: Kang Sun]

2805 - modified audio playing: always keep buffer (both internal and card's)
2806 filled using select() -> -alsa audio delays should be fixed.
2807 - updated DOCS/AUTHORS and DOCS/README
2811 MPlayer v0.11-pre5: Jan 12, 2001
2812 xmmp audio support, applied Pontscho's libvo patch
2813 - xmmp audio driver support by Arthur Kleer
2814 - new video_out driver by Pontscho: xmga (Matrox G200/G400 only!)
2815 It does same under X 3.3.x what Xv extension does under X 4.0.x!
2816 (you will have a moveable/resizeable window but see a YUV video
2817 overlay in it using color keying)
2818 - added keyboard event support in X11 windows [Pontscho]
2819 (using mplayer_[put|get]_key() in codecctrl.c)
2823 MPlayer v0.11-pre4: Jan 6, 2001
2824 x11 driver fixes, 15/16bpp support
2825 - version in version.h fixed :))) [Pontscho]
2826 - inttypes.h moved to DOCS/ (copy back to the root if you need it)
2827 - depth calculation in vo_init() changed (Pontscho's version couldn't
2828 differenciate between 15 and 16bpp)
2829 - x11 driver now uses vo_init() instead of get_depth()
2830 - yuv2mmx: 15bpp not really supported -> removed from list, now
2831 conversion is done (well) by the C code -> MPEG play in 15bpp works!
2832 - AVI playing support added in 15bpp (memcpy)
2833 - AVI playing support added in 16bpp (C 15->16 converter by me)
2834 - AVI playing support added in 16bpp (MMX 15->16 converter by Strepto)
2835 - libvo/x11: yuv2rgb used MMX code on non-MMX CPUs, too!!! fixed...
2836 - all x11 modes tested (and MPEG/24bpp byteorder fixed):
2838 15bpp C convert memcpy
2839 16bpp MMX/C convert MMX/C convert
2840 24bpp C convert memcpy
2841 32bpp MMX/C convert memcpy / C conv.
2842 => now all the movie types are viewable using the -o x11 driver!
2846 MPlayer v0.11-pre3: Jan 5, 2001
2847 MPEG fixes, fullscreen support
2848 - vertical.mpg serious libvo (x11,gl) segfaults fixed:
2849 yuv2rgb_mmx requires one more lines that vertical image size...
2850 fixed (allocating memory for width*(height+1)). [bug report: Gabucino]
2851 - Pontscho's fullscreen patch applied!
2852 Using option -fs will maximize window size (for all resizeable drivers
2853 including mga!) and disable window decorations (x11,Xv,gl only)
2854 - simple inttypes.h included for libc5 (and glibc2.0, too?) users
2855 - homepage updates (links changed ftp->http)
2859 MPlayer v0.11-pre2: Jan 4, 2001
2860 better user messages, MP3 codec selection, demuxer changes
2861 - w32codec.zip restored at the FTP site (somehow it got damaged...)
2862 - added version.h, and used its content everywhere
2863 - 'premature end-of-file' problem fixed: freeing audio buffers and
2864 setting d_audio->id=-2 if has_audio==0 [bugreport by Dmitri Pogosyan]
2865 - some more messages added if verbose>=1
2866 - demuxer.c: error message printed if A or V chunk buffer is full
2867 'mplayer test.avi -aid -2' still not works without option '-nosound'
2868 - adding new config.h option to set default MP3 audio codec (mpg123/l3codeca)
2869 ./configure selects mp3lib only if you have 3DNow! [idea: Gabucino]
2870 - automatic fall back on mp3lib/mpg123 if l3codeca.acm can't be loaded/inited
2876 - AVI audio seeking improvements: now using nBlockAlign value to seek
2877 inside the chunk, so DivX audio works without big delays!!!
2878 - AVI PTS calculation modified: counting video PTS when skip_video_frames>0
2879 so new audio PTS values will be correct. Solved many sync probs!
2880 - A-V sync with AVI files fixed!
2881 Now only the Desperado-trailer has 1.0 sec delay after seeking.
2882 - fixed AVI sync in -bps mode, too! :) (perfect except that Desperado AVI)
2886 MPlayer v0.10: Jan 1, 2001 "The new year" release!
2889 - it's time to release and remove the old buggy 0.09 version...
2894 MPlayer v0.10-pre8: libvo/x11 changes
2895 - libvo: x11/xv driver split into x11 and xv drivers
2896 - libvo: DUMMY_VO_FUNC removed from driver sources
2897 - libvo: default driver order changed, because some users with software-only
2898 OpenGL thought that this 'slow' player can only play at 1-3fps :)
2902 MPlayer v0.10-pre7: Dec 31, 2000
2903 libmpeg2 interface changes, display size/area changes, AVI fixes
2904 - libmpeg2/decode.c modified:
2905 - removed unused OMS and mpeg2dec stuff
2906 - decode_data rewritten, now works like parse_es.c
2907 => doesn't copy any data -> faster and less memory usage
2908 - mplayer.c sends code 0x1FF after every frame, so libmpeg2 knows
2910 - mplayer.c: in_frame flag fixes, didn't work well with MPEG-2 streams
2911 (because there is a 0x1B2 chunk between 0x100 and 0x101)
2912 - 'picture' changed from static to shmem-allocated
2913 -> better picture after codec restart (tested with JapAd.mpg)
2914 -> keep information of the header changes (after init)
2915 - MPEG image size changed, now only the real part of frame is displayed
2916 (no more green stripe at the bottom)
2917 - picture struct: new fields: display_picture_width/height
2918 - image buffer allocation (shmem) is done by decode.c instead of libvo
2919 - new option: -xy <value> (resize both x/y direction)
2920 if value<=8 -> x_scale = y_scale = value
2921 else -> x_size=value y_size=aspectratio*x_size
2922 - mplayer.c: video output moved out from AVI/MPG init sections and
2923 now it's common code (added movie_size_x/y variables and out_fmt global)
2926 + and - => adjust audio delay +- 0.1 second
2927 k => kill/restart the MPEG codec process (for testing)
2928 - codec control interface changed: wait for syncword after (re)start
2929 to avoid receiving old frames => it's stable again!
2930 - removed (now unused) allocate/free image buffer code from libvo
2931 - mplayer: new internal variable for video format: has_video
2932 0 = none (unused yet)
2934 2 = Win32/VfW video codec
2935 - config.h has defaults for bps-based AVI sync and ALSA timer code options:
2936 #undef AVI_SYNC_BPS => now it's disabled by default!!! use -bps to enable
2937 #define ALSA_TIMER => now it's enabled by default!!! use -noalsa to dis.
2939 - prints max compressed framesize at exit (both AVI & MPEG)
2940 - AVI audio seeking fixed: some ACM codecs (DivX audio and ms-adpcm)
2941 can't seek inside a chunk, they are only able to play whole chunks.
2942 Current audio seeking has changed to seek inside the chunk only if the
2943 codec supports it (only internal codecs and ACM/MP3 allows it).
2944 - AVI: audio delay correction if seeking inside the chunk is not possible
2948 MPlayer v0.10-pre6: Dec 24, 2000 "Xmas edition"
2949 MPEG signal & EOF fixes
2950 - ./configure: k6_mtrr (2.4.test11+) added [Pontscho]
2951 - `term destroys if mplayer (MPG) called from mc.ext` bug fixed:
2952 added sighandler to the 3rd process (MPEG codec) to avoid sig. recursion
2953 - better output at exit (handled now by exit_player())
2954 - MPEG EOF problem (codec restart) fixed: added EOF detection to parse_es.c
2955 - internal flag 'current_module' added to get more info at segfaults
2956 (contains module number where the segfault occurred)
2957 - audio detection changed: using afm=4 (Win32/ACM) for MP3 audio (AVI files)
2958 (you MUST have l3codeca.acm at /usr/lib/win32, or you have to use '-afm 1')
2962 MPlayer v0.10-pre5: Dec 22, 2000
2964 - AVI image flipping reworked:
2965 - new flag: avi_header.flipped, TRUE if upside-down
2966 - image flipping code removed/disabled from libvo modules
2967 - duplicate flip_page() calls removed (overload with x11 and mga)
2968 - aLaw audio codec (AVI id 0x06) added (uses code from XAnim source)
2973 test release, small fixes
2974 - video_out driver <-> codec incompatibility message changed
2975 - fixed the config.format bug in drivers/mga_vid_test, so it works again!
2976 [thanks to David Whysong]
2981 MPlayer v0.10-pre3: Dec 10, 2000
2982 test release, verbose mode, new docs
2983 - new option: -v = increment verbosity level
2984 (debug printf's changed to verbose level-dependent)
2985 - default level: 0, only some informal output
2986 - init debug: 1, some basic debug infos, AVI header, function values
2987 - player debug: 2, print AVI indexes, chunk inputs, more debug infos
2988 - parser debug: 3, prints everything related to input parsers
2989 to increment verbose level, use multiple -v options (-v -v -v for level 3)
2990 - bitrate calculation for AVI files
2991 - README rewritten, added Troubleshooting and Bugreports sections
2992 - TVout directory added (only the scripts)
2996 MPlayer v0.10-pre2: Dec 8, 2000
2997 bugfix test release, bps-sync enabled
2998 - AVI: supporting both 0-based and movi-based index types (autodetect)
2999 - AVI: tested with VBR audio: plays well with -mc 0 option, seek doesn't
3000 work yet [thanks to Alan Chen for testfile]
3001 - AVI: A-V sync to avg. byte/sec implemented (again) and enabled by default
3002 (disable with -nobps if you want)
3003 - ./configire: 3rd name ('kni') of the P3 added. Where is the compatibility?
3004 - useless '\' removed from libac3/Makefile [Otvos Ferenc]
3008 MPlayer v0.10-pre1: Dec 5, 2000
3009 test release, players merged!!!
3010 - avip and mpegp have been merged to a single binary called 'mplayer'
3011 - file type detection (AVI/MPEG-PS/MPEG-ES/Other)
3012 - no redundant code (common code for common jobs)
3013 - big format-dependent codes moved to functions (separated files)
3014 - better error messages, removed some debug stuff, code cleanups
3015 - old libmpeg2 version removed from source tree
3016 - help texts merged (help_avi+help_mpg -> help_mp)
3017 - new options: -x <x> -y <y> = scale image (if selected driver supports)
3018 if value<=8 then image size will be multiplied by value, otherwise
3019 image size will be scaled to <value> pixels.
3021 2x ZOOM: mplayer -x 2 -y 2 test.mpg
3022 800x600: mplayer -x 800 -y 600 test.mpg
3023 [default values are still configurable at compile-time, see config.h]
3024 - TV project (not finished) codebase added (see tvision.c, or: make tvision)
3028 MPlayer v0.09: Dec 5, 2000
3029 Beta release [same as 0.09-pre3]
3030 - version changed in the files
3035 MPlayer v0.09-pre3: Dec 3, 2000
3036 bugfix test-release, X11 support testing
3037 - fixed the if [ -z $pparam ] bug in ./configure [Christian Birchinger]
3038 - many changes in AVI seek code, resulting in near-perfect seeking now!
3039 current method calculates absolute audio position, so with VBR audio it
3041 - avip: Xv support (YUY2 image format)
3042 - avip: X11 support (24 & 32 bpp only, BGR format)
3043 I need a very fast 15->16bpp converter for 16bpp support... anyone helps?
3049 - removed unnecessary code from libmpeg2/header.c
3050 Walken told me that standard MPG/VOB streams must NOT use framerate
3051 and bitrate extension... and the ext. id check is done by the caller.
3052 - CRC support to mp3lib's MPEG audio layer-2 decoder
3053 thanks for bug report & test file to Samson
3057 MPlayer v0.09-pre1: Dec 1, 2000
3059 - imported new libmpeg2 files (under testing...)
3060 - GL renderer flickering bug fixed (MMX missing emms() between yuv2rgb and
3061 glTexSubImage(), bug triggered by new Utah-GLX code)
3062 [thanks to Christian Birchinger]
3066 MPlayer v0.08: Nov 27, 2000
3067 Index support, AVI seeking, DLL loader fix, compilation fixes
3068 - Added support for chunk index usage (disable with -noidx option)
3069 - Removed code optimization flags from loader/Makefile because
3070 it segfaults if compiled optimized (it does some hacks with
3071 pointers, maybe the reordered code confuses it)
3072 - added new tool called aviparse (read and check AVI file structure)
3073 - indexed and raw chunk info comparing, bad chunks dropped
3074 - termcap usage is optional (for those Debian users without termcap)
3075 - #if HAVE_* fixed (to #ifdef HAVE_*)
3076 - ./configure supports new /proc/cpuinfo (2.4.0-test11)
3077 - sse is called 'sse' again
3078 - 'flags' field renamed to 'features'
3079 - Xv benchmark results added to DOCS/SPEED
3080 - AVI seeking (and other goodies, pause etc) implemented
3081 no PTS resync after seek yet.
3082 - default video_out driver changed from 'mga' to the first available driver
3083 new driver priority: mga_vid, opengl, x11
3087 MPlayer v0.07: Nov 21, 2000
3089 - Added Pontscho's ./configure script (it's modified a lot)
3090 - Updated makefiles, and tested a lot :)
3091 - Updated DOCS/INSTALL
3095 MPlayer v0.06: Nov 20, 2000
3096 Better codec selection
3097 - AVI audio&video codec selection moved to new codecs.c file,
3098 loader/driver.c and loader/afl.c modified for this
3099 - YUV support fixed, codecs.c setup flags to handle YUV properly
3100 YUV works fine with DivX, MPEG-4, cvid, and upside-down iv50
3101 - DOCS/INSTALL updated
3102 - DOCS/SPEED updated, DivX benchmarks added
3106 MPlayer v0.05: Nov 18, 2000
3107 Merged with MPEGplayer 0.90pre6, first public release of AVI player
3108 - code merged with mpegplayer, new Makefile, some small modifications
3109 - docs updated and moved to DOCS
3113 MPlayer v0.04: Nov 17, 2000
3114 YUV (YUY2) support with DivX 3.11 DLL, some code cleanup, preview-release
3118 MPlayer v0.03: Nov 14, 2000
3122 MPlayer v0.01: Nov 11, 2000
3123 first preview version based on new MPEGplayer's codebase.
3124 it contains the Win32 loader from avifile, and can decode DivX 3.11 video.
3128 mpg12play v0.9-v0.95pre5: Oct 21-Nov 2, 2000
3129 MPEG codec was libmpeg2 (mpeg2dec) by Aaron Holtzman & Michel
3130 Lespinasse. It's great, optimized very fast C code with perfect
3131 image quality and 100% MPEG standard conformance.
3135 mpg12play v0.5-v0.87: Sep 28-Oct 20, 2000
3136 MPEG codec replaced with DVDview by Dirk Farin, it was great
3137 stuff, but it was slow and was written in C++ (I hate C++!!!)
3141 mpg12play v0.1-v0.3: Sep 22-25, 2000
3142 The first try, hacked together in half an hour! I've used libmpeg3
3143 from www.heroinewarrior.com up to the version 0.3, but there were
3144 image quality and speed problems with it.
