[02:43] Heheheh.. http://www.flickr.com/photos/onebutan-iphone/4178222986/ [02:43] :P === mr_steve_ is now known as mr_steve [11:42] 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? [11:57] ripps: is it using new builds of ffmpeg too? [11:58] ripps: although I see no evidence that vlc does in fact use ffmpeg - source? [11:59] I always thought that vlc decoders were mostly based off of ffmpeg, although they might be using some kind of dynamic optimizations [12:00] 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] I know mplayer does this as well, but maybe vlc's is just a bit more advanced [12:03] 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 [12:05] ripps: it appears to use libmpeg2, which seems to be a different library than what ffmpeg uses. [12:07] hmm... it seems that libmpeg2 has better optimizations for amd cpus. Might explain why it works nicer with my athlon xp 2500+ [12:10] * tonyyarusso is *soooo* behind on my weekly e-mails... [14:26] tonyyarusso: mailing lists? [17:46] tonyyarusso: after much ado, I put your testimonial on my wiki, I don't know how I forgot tht === locobot_5_2 is now known as locobot_5 [19:45] kermit: My "Lucid Development Cycle weekly topics" things, yeah. [19:51] lucid? what's that? [19:51] kermit: 10.04's codename. [19:51] !lucid [19:51] 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 [19:53] it so slippery out i can idle in 3rd gear, stopped. [19:54] haha [19:54] probably not a good idea
