2636 if it runs well, then mplayer -o gl should work, too.
2637 it works on G400+Utah-GLX, but segfaults in the G400 driver of X 4.0.2/DRI.
2638 try it with different cards/drivers, and please report me the results.

2672 [i haven't yet found method to get fps out from ASF headers :(((]
2673 - some error and consistency checking into demux_asf
2674 if you see many warning! messages playing an ASF file, then contact
2675 me and upload the file (first 1MB is enough if it represents the problem)
2676 Don't forget: there is no public doc about the ASF file format, so
2677 everything we know is suspected and can be wrong... without your help
2678 we will never have a working ASF player...

2687 It's able to blit whole frames, not only 16-pixel slices...
2688 - libmpeg2 and opendivx codec changed to use new draw_slice()
2689 -> opendivx extra 64-pixel width band at right disappeared!
2690 - MPEG bitrate fix: if picture->bitrate==0x3FFFF (means "unspecified" ?)
2691 then using standard VCD bitrate (75*2324 bytes/sec)
2692 -> fixed seeking for those MPEGs with "16MBit/s" bitrate...
2693 - drivers/sis_vid: video4linux interface disabled
2694 - broken VCD playing fixed: stream_reset shouldn't seek to 0x0...
2695 [bugreport: Kang Sun]

2808 - xmmp audio driver support by Arthur Kleer
2809 - new video_out driver by Pontscho: xmga (Matrox G200/G400 only!)
2810 It does same under X 3.3.x what Xv extension does under X 4.0.x!
2811 (you will have a moveable/resizeable window but see a YUV video
2812 overlay in it using color keying)
2813 - added keyboard event support in X11 windows [Pontscho]
2814 (using mplayer_[put|get]_key() in codecctrl.c)
2818 MPlayer v0.11-pre4: Jan 6, 2001
2819 x11 driver fixes, 15/16bpp support
2820 - version in version.h fixed :))) [Pontscho]
2821 - inttypes.h moved to DOCS/ (copy back to the root if you need it)
2822 - depth calculation in vo_init() changed (Pontscho's version couldn't
2823 differenciate between 15 and 16bpp)
2824 - x11 driver now uses vo_init() instead of get_depth()
2825 - yuv2mmx: 15bpp not really supported -> removed from list, now
2826 conversion is done (well) by the C code -> MPEG play in 15bpp works!
2827 - AVI playing support added in 15bpp (memcpy)
2828 - AVI playing support added in 16bpp (C 15->16 converter by me)
2829 - AVI playing support added in 16bpp (MMX 15->16 converter by Strepto)
2830 - libvo/x11: yuv2rgb used MMX code on non-MMX CPUs, too!!! fixed...
2831 - all x11 modes tested (and MPEG/24bpp byteorder fixed):
2833 15bpp C convert memcpy
2834 16bpp MMX/C convert MMX/C convert
2835 24bpp C convert memcpy
2836 32bpp MMX/C convert memcpy / C conv.
2837 => now all the movie types are viewable using the -o x11 driver!
2841 MPlayer v0.11-pre3: Jan 5, 2001
2842 MPEG fixes, fullscreen support
2843 - vertical.mpg serious libvo (x11,gl) segfaults fixed:
2844 yuv2rgb_mmx requires one more lines that vertical image size...
2845 fixed (allocating memory for width*(height+1)). [bug report: Gabucino]
2846 - Pontscho's fullscreen patch applied!
2847 Using option -fs will maximize window size (for all resizeable drivers
2848 including mga!) and disable window decorations (x11,Xv,gl only)
2849 - simple inttypes.h included for libc5 (and glibc2.0, too?) users
2850 - homepage updates (links changed ftp->http)
2854 MPlayer v0.11-pre2: Jan 4, 2001
2855 better user messages, MP3 codec selection, demuxer changes
2856 - w32codec.zip restored at the FTP site (somehow it got damaged...)
2857 - added version.h, and used its content everywhere
2858 - 'premature end-of-file' problem fixed: freeing audio buffers and
2859 setting d_audio->id=-2 if has_audio==0 [bugreport by Dmitri Pogosyan]
2860 - some more messages added if verbose>=1
2861 - demuxer.c: error message printed if A or V chunk buffer is full
2862 'mplayer test.avi -aid -2' still not works without option '-nosound'
2863 - adding new config.h option to set default MP3 audio codec (mpg123/l3codeca)
2864 ./configure selects mp3lib only if you have 3DNow! [idea: Gabucino]
2865 - automatic fall back on mp3lib/mpg123 if l3codeca.acm can't be loaded/inited
2871 - AVI audio seeking improvements: now using nBlockAlign value to seek
2872 inside the chunk, so DivX audio works without big delays!!!
2873 - AVI PTS calculation modified: counting video PTS when skip_video_frames>0
2874 so new audio PTS values will be correct. Solved many sync probs!
2875 - A-V sync with AVI files fixed!
2876 Now only the Desperado-trailer has 1.0 sec delay after seeking.
2877 - fixed AVI sync in -bps mode, too! :) (perfect except that Desperado AVI)
2881 MPlayer v0.10: Jan 1, 2001 "The new year" release!
2884 - it's time to release and remove the old buggy 0.09 version...
2889 MPlayer v0.10-pre8: libvo/x11 changes
2890 - libvo: x11/xv driver split into x11 and xv drivers
2891 - libvo: DUMMY_VO_FUNC removed from driver sources
2892 - libvo: default driver order changed, because some users with software-only
2893 OpenGL thought that this 'slow' player can only play at 1-3fps :)
2897 MPlayer v0.10-pre7: Dec 31, 2000
2898 libmpeg2 interface changes, display size/area changes, AVI fixes
2899 - libmpeg2/decode.c modified:
2900 - removed unused OMS and mpeg2dec stuff
2901 - decode_data rewritten, now works like parse_es.c
2902 => doesn't copy any data -> faster and less memory usage
2903 - mplayer.c sends code 0x1FF after every frame, so libmpeg2 knows
2905 - mplayer.c: in_frame flag fixes, didn't work well with MPEG-2 streams
2906 (because there is a 0x1B2 chunk between 0x100 and 0x101)
2907 - 'picture' changed from static to shmem-allocated
2908 -> better picture after codec restart (tested with JapAd.mpg)
2909 -> keep information of the header changes (after init)
2910 - MPEG image size changed, now only the real part of frame is displayed
2911 (no more green stripe at the bottom)
2912 - picture struct: new fields: display_picture_width/height
2913 - image buffer allocation (shmem) is done by decode.c instead of libvo
2914 - new option: -xy <value> (resize both x/y direction)
2915 if value<=8 -> x_scale = y_scale = value
2916 else -> x_size=value y_size=aspectratio*x_size
2917 - mplayer.c: video output moved out from AVI/MPG init sections and
2918 now it's common code (added movie_size_x/y variables and out_fmt global)
2921 + and - => adjust audio delay +- 0.1 second
2922 k => kill/restart the MPEG codec process (for testing)
2923 - codec control interface changed: wait for syncword after (re)start
2924 to avoid receiving old frames => it's stable again!
2925 - removed (now unused) allocate/free image buffer code from libvo
2926 - mplayer: new internal variable for video format: has_video
2927 0 = none (unused yet)
2929 2 = Win32/VfW video codec
2930 - config.h has defaults for bps-based AVI sync and ALSA timer code options:
2931 #undef AVI_SYNC_BPS => now it's disabled by default!!! use -bps to enable
2932 #define ALSA_TIMER => now it's enabled by default!!! use -noalsa to dis.
2934 - prints max compressed framesize at exit (both AVI & MPEG)
2935 - AVI audio seeking fixed: some ACM codecs (DivX audio and ms-adpcm)
2936 can't seek inside a chunk, they are only able to play whole chunks.
2937 Current audio seeking has changed to seek inside the chunk only if the
2938 codec supports it (only internal codecs and ACM/MP3 allows it).
2939 - AVI: audio delay correction if seeking inside the chunk is not possible
2943 MPlayer v0.10-pre6: Dec 24, 2000 "Xmas edition"
2944 MPEG signal & EOF fixes
2945 - ./configure: k6_mtrr (2.4.test11+) added [Pontscho]
2946 - `term destroys if mplayer (MPG) called from mc.ext` bug fixed:
2947 added sighandler to the 3rd process (MPEG codec) to avoid sig. recursion
2948 - better output at exit (handled now by exit_player())
2949 - MPEG EOF problem (codec restart) fixed: added EOF detection to parse_es.c
2950 - internal flag 'current_module' added to get more info at segfaults
2951 (contains module number where the segfault occurred)
2952 - audio detection changed: using afm=4 (Win32/ACM) for MP3 audio (AVI files)
2953 (you MUST have l3codeca.acm at /usr/lib/win32, or you have to use '-afm 1')
2957 MPlayer v0.10-pre5: Dec 22, 2000
2959 - AVI image flipping reworked:
2960 - new flag: avi_header.flipped, TRUE if upside-down
2961 - image flipping code removed/disabled from libvo modules
2962 - duplicate flip_page() calls removed (overload with x11 and mga)
2963 - aLaw audio codec (AVI id 0x06) added (uses code from XAnim source)
2968 test release, small fixes
2969 - video_out driver <-> codec incompatibility message changed
2970 - fixed the config.format bug in drivers/mga_vid_test, so it works again!
2971 [thanks to David Whysong]
2976 MPlayer v0.10-pre3: Dec 10, 2000
2977 test release, verbose mode, new docs
2978 - new option: -v = increment verbosity level
2979 (debug printf's changed to verbose level-dependent)
2980 - default level: 0, only some informal output
2981 - init debug: 1, some basic debug infos, AVI header, function values
2982 - player debug: 2, print AVI indexes, chunk inputs, more debug infos
2983 - parser debug: 3, prints everything related to input parsers
2984 to increment verbose level, use multiple -v options (-v -v -v for level 3)
2985 - bitrate calculation for AVI files
2986 - README rewritten, added Troubleshooting and Bugreports sections
2987 - TVout directory added (only the scripts)
2991 MPlayer v0.10-pre2: Dec 8, 2000
2992 bugfix test release, bps-sync enabled
2993 - AVI: supporting both 0-based and movi-based index types (autodetect)
2994 - AVI: tested with VBR audio: plays well with -mc 0 option, seek doesn't
2995 work yet [thanks to Alan Chen for testfile]
2996 - AVI: A-V sync to avg. byte/sec implemented (again) and enabled by default
2997 (disable with -nobps if you want)
2998 - ./configire: 3rd name ('kni') of the P3 added. Where is the compatibility?
2999 - useless '\' removed from libac3/Makefile [Otvos Ferenc]
3003 MPlayer v0.10-pre1: Dec 5, 2000
3004 test release, players merged!!!
3005 - avip and mpegp have been merged to a single binary called 'mplayer'
3006 - file type detection (AVI/MPEG-PS/MPEG-ES/Other)
3007 - no redundant code (common code for common jobs)
3008 - big format-dependent codes moved to functions (separated files)
3009 - better error messages, removed some debug stuff, code cleanups
3010 - old libmpeg2 version removed from source tree
3011 - help texts merged (help_avi+help_mpg -> help_mp)
3012 - new options: -x <x> -y <y> = scale image (if selected driver supports)
3013 if value<=8 then image size will be multiplied by value, otherwise
3014 image size will be scaled to <value> pixels.
3016 2x ZOOM: mplayer -x 2 -y 2 test.mpg
3017 800x600: mplayer -x 800 -y 600 test.mpg
3018 [default values are still configurable at compile-time, see config.h]
3019 - TV project (not finished) codebase added (see tvision.c, or: make tvision)
3023 MPlayer v0.09: Dec 5, 2000
3024 Beta release [same as 0.09-pre3]
3025 - version changed in the files
3030 MPlayer v0.09-pre3: Dec 3, 2000
3031 bugfix test-release, X11 support testing
3032 - fixed the if [ -z $pparam ] bug in ./configure [Christian Birchinger]
3033 - many changes in AVI seek code, resulting in near-perfect seeking now!
3034 current method calculates absolute audio position, so with VBR audio it
3036 - avip: Xv support (YUY2 image format)
3037 - avip: X11 support (24 & 32 bpp only, BGR format)
3038 I need a very fast 15->16bpp converter for 16bpp support... anyone helps?
3044 - removed unnecessary code from libmpeg2/header.c
3045 Walken told me that standard MPG/VOB streams must NOT use framerate
3046 and bitrate extension... and the ext. id check is done by the caller.
3047 - CRC support to mp3lib's MPEG audio layer-2 decoder
3048 thanks for bug report & test file to Samson
3052 MPlayer v0.09-pre1: Dec 1, 2000
3054 - imported new libmpeg2 files (under testing...)
3055 - GL renderer flickering bug fixed (MMX missing emms() between yuv2rgb and
3056 glTexSubImage(), bug triggered by new Utah-GLX code)
3057 [thanks to Christian Birchinger]
3061 MPlayer v0.08: Nov 27, 2000
3062 Index support, AVI seeking, DLL loader fix, compilation fixes
3063 - Added support for chunk index usage (disable with -noidx option)
3064 - Removed code optimization flags from loader/Makefile because
3065 it segfaults if compiled optimized (it does some hacks with
3066 pointers, maybe the reordered code confuses it)
3067 - added new tool called aviparse (read and check AVI file structure)
3068 - indexed and raw chunk info comparing, bad chunks dropped
3069 - termcap usage is optional (for those Debian users without termcap)
3070 - #if HAVE_* fixed (to #ifdef HAVE_*)
3071 - ./configure supports new /proc/cpuinfo (2.4.0-test11)
3072 - sse is called 'sse' again
3073 - 'flags' field renamed to 'features'
3074 - Xv benchmark results added to DOCS/SPEED
3075 - AVI seeking (and other goodies, pause etc) implemented
3076 no PTS resync after seek yet.
3077 - default video_out driver changed from 'mga' to the first available driver
3078 new driver priority: mga_vid, opengl, x11
3082 MPlayer v0.07: Nov 21, 2000
3084 - Added Pontscho's ./configure script (it's modified a lot)
3085 - Updated makefiles, and tested a lot :)
3086 - Updated DOCS/INSTALL
3090 MPlayer v0.06: Nov 20, 2000
3091 Better codec selection
3092 - AVI audio&video codec selection moved to new codecs.c file,
3093 loader/driver.c and loader/afl.c modified for this
3094 - YUV support fixed, codecs.c setup flags to handle YUV properly
3095 YUV works fine with DivX, MPEG-4, cvid, and upside-down iv50
3096 - DOCS/INSTALL updated
3097 - DOCS/SPEED updated, DivX benchmarks added
3101 MPlayer v0.05: Nov 18, 2000
3102 Merged with MPEGplayer 0.90pre6, first public release of AVI player
3103 - code merged with mpegplayer, new Makefile, some small modifications
3104 - docs updated and moved to DOCS
3108 MPlayer v0.04: Nov 17, 2000
3109 YUV (YUY2) support with DivX 3.11 DLL, some code cleanup, preview-release
3113 MPlayer v0.03: Nov 14, 2000
3117 MPlayer v0.01: Nov 11, 2000
3118 first preview version based on new MPEGplayer's codebase.
3119 it contains the Win32 loader from avifile, and can decode DivX 3.11 video.
3123 mpg12play v0.9-v0.95pre5: Oct 21-Nov 2, 2000
3124 MPEG codec was libmpeg2 (mpeg2dec) by Aaron Holtzman & Michel
3125 Lespinasse. It's great, optimized very fast C code with perfect
3126 image quality and 100% MPEG standard conformance.
3130 mpg12play v0.5-v0.87: Sep 28-Oct 20, 2000
3131 MPEG codec replaced with DVDview by Dirk Farin, it was great
3132 stuff, but it was slow and was written in C++ (I hate C++!!!)
3136 mpg12play v0.1-v0.3: Sep 22-25, 2000
3137 The first try, hacked together in half an hour! I've used libmpeg3
3138 from www.heroinewarrior.com up to the version 0.3, but there were
3139 image quality and speed problems with it.
