| ripps | geez, I've been using mplayer+coreavc for all my 720p video playback for my athlonxp 2500+ and ati radeon 9600. It was adequete and would play mostly okay. Now, I've tried the most recent build of vlc, and blows away the performance of mplayer+ffmpeg and mplayer+coreavc. I thought vlc used ffmpeg, so why is it so much faster? | 11:42 |
| tonyyarusso | ripps: is it using new builds of ffmpeg too? | 11:57 |
| tonyyarusso | ripps: although I see no evidence that vlc does in fact use ffmpeg - source? | 11:58 |
| ripps | I always thought that vlc decoders were mostly based off of ffmpeg, although they might be using some kind of dynamic optimizations | 11:59 |
| ripps | it seems to automatically lower quality just enough when cpu spikes, but keep the quality up when cpu usage isn't as taxed | 12:00 |
| ripps | I know mplayer does this as well, but maybe vlc's is just a bit more advanced | 12:00 |
| ripps | I remember doing similar tests with vlc+720-h.264 with Jaunty, and dropping it because it constantly stuttered. They've made some impressive headway | 12:03 |
| tonyyarusso | ripps: it appears to use libmpeg2, which seems to be a different library than what ffmpeg uses. | 12:05 |
| ripps | hmm... it seems that libmpeg2 has better optimizations for amd cpus. Might explain why it works nicer with my athlon xp 2500+ | 12:07 |
| * tonyyarusso is *soooo* behind on my weekly e-mails... | 12:10 | |
| kermit | tonyyarusso: mailing lists? | 14:26 |
| h00k | tonyyarusso: after much ado, I put your testimonial on my wiki, I don't know how I forgot tht | 17:46 |

| tonyyarusso | kermit: My "Lucid Development Cycle weekly topics" things, yeah. | 19:45 |
| kermit | lucid? what's that? | 19:51 |
| tonyyarusso | kermit: 10.04's codename. | 19:51 |
| tonyyarusso | !lucid | 19:51 |
| ubot3` | Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 19:51 |
| kermit | it so slippery out i can idle in 3rd gear, stopped. | 19:53 |
| tonyyarusso | haha | 19:54 |
| tonyyarusso | probably not a good idea | 19:54 |
