2145 if it runs well, then mplayer -o gl should work, too.
2146 it works on G400+Utah-GLX, but segfaults in the G400 driver of X 4.0.2/DRI.
2147 try it with different cards/drivers, and please report me the results.

2178 - libvo / Xv driver swapped red-blue fixed
2179 - ASF timestamps implemented - now ASF A-V should be in sync if you
2180 specify the correct fps at commandline (-fps), +-1 fps allowed...
2181 [i haven't yet found method to get fps out from ASF headers :(((]
2182 - some error and consistency checking into demux_asf
2183 if you see many warning! messages playing an ASF file, then contact
2184 me and upload the file (first 1MB is enough if it represents the problem)
2185 Don't forget: there is no public doc about the ASF file format, so
2186 everything we know is suspected and can be wrong... without your help
2187 we will never have a working ASF player...
2188 - ASF fragment offset checks disabled for grouping...
2192 MPlayer v0.11-pre13: Jan 31, 2001

2196 It's able to blit whole frames, not only 16-pixel slices...
2197 - libmpeg2 and opendivx codec changed to use new draw_slice()
2198 -> opendivx extra 64-pixel width band at right disappeared!
2199 - MPEG bitrate fix: if picture->bitrate==0x3FFFF (means "unspecified" ?)
2200 then using standard VCD bitrate (75*2324 bytes/sec)
2201 -> fixed seeking for those MPEGs with "16MBit/s" bitrate...
2202 - drivers/sis_vid: video4linux interface disabled
2203 - broken VCD playing fixed: stream_reset shouldn't seek to 0x0...
2204 [bugreport: Kang Sun]
2205 - asf_parser: grouping implemented! [test file provided by Gabucino :))]

2222 - no audio decoding if -encode option is used
2223 - audio streaming disabled if -nosound specified (setting audio_id to -2)
2224 - fast MPEG-ES detection (doesn't read the whole MPEG-PS file)
2225 - compile-time option to disable using soundcard driver's select()
2226 (required for some people with buggy/pre-alpha/etc sound driver...)
2230 MPlayer v0.11-pre11: Jan 29, 2001
2231 streaming fixes, ASF support pre, indeo5 fix

2237 > it plays ASF video well, but still has problems with DivX/WMA audio. :(((
2238 - indeo 5 playing fixed (removed ICDECOMPRESS_UPDATE from flags)
2239 - xmga resizing problems with some window managers, so default order is
2240 changed xmga,xma... to mga,xmga,...
2241 - found gcc bug: compiling MPlayer with flags
2242 OPTFLAGS=-O -g -march=i686 -mcpu=i686 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math
2243 causes image sizes negating -> mga_vid kernel driver Oops... :(((
2244 - runaway.bride.sample.avi seeking segfault discovered: AC3 resync fails :(
2245 - improved signal handling: module name is now printed. audio_resync added.
2246 - RGB opendivx encoding implemented, now AVI->opendivx is possible.
2249 MPlayer v0.11-pre10: Jan 22, 2001
2250 OpenDivX encoding, streaming fixes, AVI seek fixes
2251 - new libvo driver: odivx (OpenDivX File Writer)
2252 - AVI file writing support, new option: -encode filename
2253 to encode an MPEG/VOB/VCD to opendivx:
2254 mplayer file1.mpg -encode file2.avi -o odivx -nosound
2255 (sound encoding/copying is not yet supported)
2256 - libvo: default driver priority changed to: xmga,mga,syncfb,3dfx,xv,x11,gl
2257 - AVI writer: index support
2258 - small fixes in AVI writer to be compliant (adjusted chunk/list lengths)
2259 - demuxer.c: stream buffering fixes:
2260 - missing {} in mplayer.c occurring audio reads when has_audio=0
2261 - reordered packet reader and pack count checks -> no more unwanted EOF
2262 - added 4MB buffer memory usage limit to demuxed streams
2263 - CPU flags in ./configure changed:
2264 k7 -> k6 (current stable gcc doesn't support k7)
2265 386,486 -> i386,i486 [Balazs Tibor]
2266 - demux_avi: index check now accepts (raw.len+1)==idx.len [Balazs Tibor]
2269 ** Now we are done with planned features & urgent fixes, **
2270 ** it's time for final testing and then the 0.11 release!! **
2274 MPlayer v0.11-pre9: Jan 18, 2001
2275 OpenDivX fixes,speedup
2276 - solved OpenDivX width problem (stride=width+(Quality?0:64))
2277 now -divxq 0 works, and 0 is the default
2278 - libvo call moved out from my_convert_yuv() so it can be measured (CPU %)
2279 - IDCT code ported from libmpeg2 -> much faster OpenDivX decoding
2283 MPlayer v0.11-pre8: Jan 18, 2001
2284 SDL fixes, OpenDivX support
2285 - added -I/usr/X11R6/include to libvo CFLAGS
2286 - (removed later: applied libvo SDL driver fixes by Jeffrey Boser)
2287 - OpenDivX support, initial hack, maybe not working for you...
2288 (I need testfiles, I have only one)
2289 use -divxq option to adjust quality (1..29 works), 1=default
2293 MPlayer v0.11-pre7: Jan 14, 2001
2295 - ported SDL driver from mpeg2dec/libvo (current CVS)
2296 (it's slower than internal X11 driver, but supports software scaling!)
2297 - fixed SDL driver to support -fs and pass keyboard events
2298 - SDL driver changed to support YV12 and YUY2 formats instead of IYUV
2299 (now works with DivX files, too)
2300 - 'q' (Quit) disabled in SDL fullscreen mode (because it's impossible
2301 to restore screen before exiting so it gets into an unusable state now)
2305 MPlayer v0.11-pre6: Jan 14, 2001
2307 - fixed video_out_xv.c compilation problems [bugreport: Kalle Mellerup]
2308 - modified audio playing: always keep buffer (both internal and card's)
2309 filled using select() -> -alsa audio delays should be fixed.
2310 - updated DOCS/AUTHORS and DOCS/README
2314 MPlayer v0.11-pre5: Jan 12, 2001
2315 xmmp audio support, applied Pontscho's libvo patch
2316 - xmmp audio driver support by Arthur Kleer
2317 - new video_out driver by Pontscho: xmga (Matrox G200/G400 only!)
2318 It does same under X 3.3.x what Xv extension does under X 4.0.x!
2319 (you will have a moveable/resizeable window but see a YUV video
2320 overlay in it using color keying)
2321 - added keyboard event support in X11 windows [Pontscho]
2322 (using mplayer_[put|get]_key() in codecctrl.c)
2326 MPlayer v0.11-pre4: Jan 6, 2001
2327 x11 driver fixes, 15/16bpp support
2328 - version in version.h fixed :))) [Pontscho]
2329 - inttypes.h moved to DOCS/ (copy back to the root if you need it)
2330 - depth calculation in vo_init() changed (Pontscho's version couldn't
2331 differenciate between 15 and 16bpp)
2332 - x11 driver now uses vo_init() instead of get_depth()
2333 - yuv2mmx: 15bpp not really supported -> removed from list, now
2334 conversion is done (well) by the C code -> MPEG play in 15bpp works!
2335 - AVI playing support added in 15bpp (memcpy)
2336 - AVI playing support added in 16bpp (C 15->16 converter by me)
2337 - AVI playing support added in 16bpp (MMX 15->16 converter by Strepto)
2338 - libvo/x11: yuv2rgb used MMX code on non-MMX CPUs, too!!! fixed...
2339 - all x11 modes tested (and MPEG/24bpp byteorder fixed):
2341 15bpp C convert memcpy
2342 16bpp MMX/C convert MMX/C convert
2343 24bpp C convert memcpy
2344 32bpp MMX/C convert memcpy / C conv.
2345 => now all the movie types are viewable using the -o x11 driver!
2349 MPlayer v0.11-pre3: Jan 5, 2001
2350 MPEG fixes, fullscreen support
2351 - vertical.mpg serious libvo (x11,gl) segfaults fixed:
2352 yuv2rgb_mmx requires one more lines that vertical image size...
2353 fixed (allocating memory for width*(height+1)). [bug report: Gabucino]
2354 - Pontscho's fullscreen patch applied!
2355 Using option -fs will maximize window size (for all resizeable drivers
2356 including mga!) and disable window decorations (x11,Xv,gl only)
2357 - simple inttypes.h included for libc5 (and glibc2.0, too?) users
2358 - homepage updates (links changed ftp->http)
2362 MPlayer v0.11-pre2: Jan 4, 2001
2363 better user messages, MP3 codec selection, demuxer changes
2364 - w32codec.zip restored at the FTP site (somehow it got damaged...)
2365 - added version.h, and used its content everywhere
2366 - 'premature end-of-file' problem fixed: freeing audio buffers and
2367 setting d_audio->id=-2 if has_audio==0 [bugreport by Dmitri Pogosyan]
2368 - some more messages added if verbose>=1
2369 - demuxer.c: error message printed if A or V chunk buffer is full
2370 'mplayer test.avi -aid -2' still not works without option '-nosound'
2371 - adding new config.h option to set default MP3 audio codec (mpg123/l3codeca)
2372 ./configure selects mp3lib only if you have 3DNow! [idea: Gabucino]
2373 - automatic fall back on mp3lib/mpg123 if l3codeca.acm can't be loaded/inited
2379 - AVI audio seeking improvements: now using nBlockAlign value to seek
2380 inside the chunk, so DivX audio works without big delays!!!
2381 - AVI PTS calculation modified: counting video PTS when skip_video_frames>0
2382 so new audio PTS values will be correct. Solved many sync probs!
2383 - A-V sync with AVI files fixed!
2384 Now only the Desperado-trailer has 1.0 sec delay after seeking.
2385 - fixed AVI sync in -bps mode, too! :) (perfect except that Desperado AVI)
2389 MPlayer v0.10: Jan 1, 2001 "The new year" release!
2392 - it's time to release and remove the old buggy 0.09 version...
2397 MPlayer v0.10-pre8: libvo/x11 changes
2398 - libvo: x11/xv driver split into x11 and xv drivers
2399 - libvo: DUMMY_VO_FUNC removed from driver sources
2400 - libvo: default driver order changed, because some users with software-only
2401 OpenGL thought that this 'slow' player can only play at 1-3fps :)
2405 MPlayer v0.10-pre7: Dec 31, 2000
2406 libmpeg2 interface changes, display size/area changes, AVI fixes
2407 - libmpeg2/decode.c modified:
2408 - removed unused OMS and mpeg2dec stuff
2409 - decode_data rewritten, now works like parse_es.c
2410 => doesn't copy any data -> faster and less memory usage
2411 - mplayer.c sends code 0x1FF after every frame, so libmpeg2 knows
2413 - mplayer.c: in_frame flag fixes, didn't work well with MPEG-2 streams
2414 (because there is a 0x1B2 chunk between 0x100 and 0x101)
2415 - 'picture' changed from static to shmem-allocated
2416 -> better picture after codec restart (tested with JapAd.mpg)
2417 -> keep information of the header changes (after init)
2418 - MPEG image size changed, now only the real part of frame is displayed
2419 (no more green stripe at the bottom)
2420 - picture struct: new fields: display_picture_width/height
2421 - image buffer allocation (shmem) is done by decode.c instead of libvo
2422 - new option: -xy <value> (resize both x/y direction)
2423 if value<=8 -> x_scale = y_scale = value
2424 else -> x_size=value y_size=aspectratio*x_size
2425 - mplayer.c: video output moved out from AVI/MPG init sections and
2426 now it's common code (added movie_size_x/y variables and out_fmt global)
2429 + and - => adjust audio delay +- 0.1 second
2430 k => kill/restart the MPEG codec process (for testing)
2431 - codec control interface changed: wait for syncword after (re)start
2432 to avoid receiving old frames => it's stable again!
2433 - removed (now unused) allocate/free image buffer code from libvo
2434 - mplayer: new internal variable for video format: has_video
2435 0 = none (unused yet)
2437 2 = Win32/VfW video codec
2438 - config.h has defaults for bps-based AVI sync and ALSA timer code options:
2439 #undef AVI_SYNC_BPS => now it's disabled by default!!! use -bps to enable
2440 #define ALSA_TIMER => now it's enabled by default!!! use -noalsa to dis.
2442 - prints max compressed framesize at exit (both AVI & MPEG)
2443 - AVI audio seeking fixed: some ACM codecs (DivX audio and ms-adpcm)
2444 can't seek inside a chunk, they are only able to play whole chunks.
2445 Current audio seeking has changed to seek inside the chunk only if the
2446 codec supports it (only internal codecs and ACM/MP3 allows it).
2447 - AVI: audio delay correction if seeking inside the chunk is not possible
2451 MPlayer v0.10-pre6: Dec 24, 2000 "Xmas edition"
2452 MPEG signal & EOF fixes
2453 - ./configure: k6_mtrr (2.4.test11+) added [Pontscho]
2454 - `term destroys if mplayer (MPG) called from mc.ext` bug fixed:
2455 added sighandler to the 3rd process (MPEG codec) to avoid sig. recursion
2456 - better output at exit (handled now by exit_player())
2457 - MPEG EOF problem (codec restart) fixed: added EOF detection to parse_es.c
2458 - internal flag 'current_module' added to get more info at segfaults
2459 (contains module number where the segfault occurred)
2460 - audio detection changed: using afm=4 (Win32/ACM) for MP3 audio (AVI files)
2461 (you MUST have l3codeca.acm at /usr/lib/win32, or you have to use '-afm 1')
2465 MPlayer v0.10-pre5: Dec 22, 2000
2467 - AVI image flipping reworked:
2468 - new flag: avi_header.flipped, TRUE if upside-down
2469 - image flipping code removed/disabled from libvo modules
2470 - duplicate flip_page() calls removed (overload with x11 and mga)
2471 - aLaw audio codec (AVI id 0x06) added (uses code from XAnim source)
2476 test release, small fixes
2477 - video_out driver <-> codec incompatibility message changed
2478 - fixed the config.format bug in drivers/mga_vid_test, so it works again!
2479 [thanks to David Whysong]
2484 MPlayer v0.10-pre3: Dec 10, 2000
2485 test release, verbose mode, new docs
2486 - new option: -v = increment verbosity level
2487 (debug printf's changed to verbose level-dependent)
2488 - default level: 0, only some informal output
2489 - init debug: 1, some basic debug infos, AVI header, function values
2490 - player debug: 2, print AVI indexes, chunk inputs, more debug infos
2491 - parser debug: 3, prints everything related to input parsers
2492 to increment verbose level, use multiple -v options (-v -v -v for level 3)
2493 - bitrate calculation for AVI files
2494 - README rewritten, added Troubleshooting and Bugreports sections
2495 - TVout directory added (only the scripts)
2499 MPlayer v0.10-pre2: Dec 8, 2000
2500 bugfix test release, bps-sync enabled
2501 - AVI: supporting both 0-based and movi-based index types (autodetect)
2502 - AVI: tested with VBR audio: plays well with -mc 0 option, seek doesn't
2503 work yet [thanks to Alan Chen for testfile]
2504 - AVI: A-V sync to avg. byte/sec implemented (again) and enabled by default
2505 (disable with -nobps if you want)
2506 - ./configire: 3rd name ('kni') of the P3 added. Where is the compatibility?
2507 - useless '\' removed from libac3/Makefile [Otvos Ferenc]
2511 MPlayer v0.10-pre1: Dec 5, 2000
2512 test release, players merged!!!
2513 - avip and mpegp have been merged to a single binary called 'mplayer'
2514 - file type detection (AVI/MPEG-PS/MPEG-ES/Other)
2515 - no redundant code (common code for common jobs)
2516 - big format-dependent codes moved to functions (separated files)
2517 - better error messages, removed some debug stuff, code cleanups
2518 - old libmpeg2 version removed from source tree
2519 - help texts merged (help_avi+help_mpg -> help_mp)
2520 - new options: -x <x> -y <y> = scale image (if selected driver supports)
2521 if value<=8 then image size will be multiplied by value, otherwise
2522 image size will be scaled to <value> pixels.
2524 2x ZOOM: mplayer -x 2 -y 2 test.mpg
2525 800x600: mplayer -x 800 -y 600 test.mpg
2526 [default values are still configurable at compile-time, see config.h]
2527 - TV project (not finished) codebase added (see tvision.c, or: make tvision)
2531 MPlayer v0.09: Dec 5, 2000
2532 Beta release [same as 0.09-pre3]
2533 - version changed in the files
2538 MPlayer v0.09-pre3: Dec 3, 2000
2539 bugfix test-release, X11 support testing
2540 - fixed the if [ -z $pparam ] bug in ./configure [Christian Birchinger]
2541 - many changes in AVI seek code, resulting in near-perfect seeking now!
2542 current method calculates absolute audio position, so with VBR audio it
2544 - avip: Xv support (YUY2 image format)
2545 - avip: X11 support (24 & 32 bpp only, BGR format)
2546 I need a very fast 15->16bpp converter for 16bpp support... anyone helps?
2552 - removed unnecessary code from libmpeg2/header.c
2553 Walken told me that standard MPG/VOB streams must NOT use framerate
2554 and bitrate extension... and the ext. id check is done by the caller.
2555 - CRC support to mp3lib's MPEG audio layer-2 decoder
2556 thanks for bug report & test file to Samson
2560 MPlayer v0.09-pre1: Dec 1, 2000
2562 - imported new libmpeg2 files (under testing...)
2563 - GL renderer flickering bug fixed (MMX missing emms() between yuv2rgb and
2564 glTexSubImage(), bug triggered by new Utah-GLX code)
2565 [thanks to Christian Birchinger]
2569 MPlayer v0.08: Nov 27, 2000
2570 Index support, AVI seeking, DLL loader fix, compilation fixes
2571 - Added support for chunk index usage (disable with -noidx option)
2572 - Removed code optimization flags from loader/Makefile because
2573 it segfaults if compiled optimized (it does some hacks with
2574 pointers, maybe the reordered code confuses it)
2575 - added new tool called aviparse (read and check AVI file structure)
2576 - indexed and raw chunk info comparing, bad chunks dropped
2577 - termcap usage is optional (for those Debian users without termcap)
2578 - #if HAVE_* fixed (to #ifdef HAVE_*)
2579 - ./configure supports new /proc/cpuinfo (2.4.0-test11)
2580 - sse is called 'sse' again
2581 - 'flags' field renamed to 'features'
2582 - Xv benchmark results added to DOCS/SPEED
2583 - AVI seeking (and other goodies, pause etc) implemented
2584 no PTS resync after seek yet.
2585 - default video_out driver changed from 'mga' to the first available driver
2586 new driver priority: mga_vid, opengl, x11
2590 MPlayer v0.07: Nov 21, 2000
2592 - Added Pontscho's ./configure script (it's modified a lot)
2593 - Updated makefiles, and tested a lot :)
2594 - Updated DOCS/INSTALL
2598 MPlayer v0.06: Nov 20, 2000
2599 Better codec selection
2600 - AVI audio&video codec selection moved to new codecs.c file,
2601 loader/driver.c and loader/afl.c modified for this
2602 - YUV support fixed, codecs.c setup flags to handle YUV properly
2603 YUV works fine with DivX, MPEG-4, cvid, and upside-down iv50
2604 - DOCS/INSTALL updated
2605 - DOCS/SPEED updated, DivX benchmarks added
2609 MPlayer v0.05: Nov 18, 2000
2610 Merged with MPEGplayer 0.90pre6, first public release of AVI player
2611 - code merged with mpegplayer, new Makefile, some small modifications
2612 - docs updated and moved to DOCS
2616 MPlayer v0.04: Nov 17, 2000
2617 YUV (YUY2) support with DivX 3.11 DLL, some code cleanup, preview-release
2621 MPlayer v0.03: Nov 14, 2000
2625 MPlayer v0.01: Nov 11, 2000
2626 first preview version based on new MPEGplayer's codebase.
2627 it contains the Win32 loader from avifile, and can decode DivX 3.11 video.
2631 mpg12play v0.9-v0.95pre5: Oct 21-Nov 2, 2000
2632 MPEG codec was libmpeg2 (mpeg2dec) by Aaron Holtzman & Michel
2633 Lespinasse. It's great, optimized very fast C code with perfect
2634 image quality and 100% MPEG standard conformance.
2638 mpg12play v0.5-v0.87: Sep 28-Oct 20, 2000
2639 MPEG codec replaced with DVDview by Dirk Farin, it was great
2640 stuff, but it was slow and was written in C++ (I hate C++!!!)
2644 mpg12play v0.1-v0.3: Sep 22-25, 2000
2645 The first try, hacked together in half an hour! I've used libmpeg3
2646 from www.heroinewarrior.com up to the version 0.3, but there were
2647 image quality and speed problems with it.
