[11:42] <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?
[11:57] <tonyyarusso> ripps: is it using new builds of ffmpeg too?
[11:58] <tonyyarusso> ripps: although I see no evidence that vlc does in fact use ffmpeg - source?
[11:59] <ripps> I always thought that vlc decoders were mostly based off of ffmpeg, although they might be using some kind of dynamic optimizations
[12:00] <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
[12:03] <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
[12:05] <tonyyarusso> ripps: it appears to use libmpeg2, which seems to be a different library than what ffmpeg uses.
[12:07] <ripps> 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] <kermit> tonyyarusso: mailing lists?
[17:46] <h00k> tonyyarusso: after much ado, I put your testimonial on my wiki, I don't know how I forgot tht
[19:45] <tonyyarusso> kermit: My "Lucid Development Cycle weekly topics" things, yeah.
[19:51] <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
[19:53] <kermit> it so slippery out i can idle in 3rd gear, stopped.
[19:54] <tonyyarusso> haha
[19:54] <tonyyarusso> probably not a good idea
