[vdr] Re: libsoftmpeg -- a software mpeg decoding and a/v sync library

Very nice indeed, that is what is missing !!

but take care not to make the same mistakes as others:

> You need:
> - DirectFB and a supported gfx adapter (cle266 or Matrox G200/4x0/5x0 is 
this makes your project intressting to cle266 owners and GFX professionals, 
cause every home user i know did buy a 3d card recently, so only very few do 
have a matrox with tv out (i have 2 old matrox but tv out was expensive and 
useless 3 years ago).

> fine, vesafb is only enough if you have a horibbly fast machine ;-)
then it's no living room system, not to speak of bedroom, sorry thats a show 
stopper for aprox 50% of all vdr/mediacenter users i know :-(

> - FusionSound, which needs OSS or ALSA (with oss emulation) sound drivers
that is good, cause alsa still is not an option for many 7.x 8.x distros 
(apart suse ofcourse).

> - libavcodec, version 0.4.8 from http://ffmpeg.sf.net is fine
yep it's very fine and should allow crash recovery like in mplayer (only the 
decoder s restarted, the rest not, so only minimal glitches occour on bit 
errors or bad weather.

Cheers Onno
