For the most part things have been good, but MPlayer has proved to be a difficulty. Not in basic functionality though, but just speed. What I did was start with a basic 'emerge -a mplayer' which installed mplayer and a codec package. Everything seemed very solid and seemed to work as it should. But when I tested mencoder with a dvd it would only run at something like 12 or 14 fps. Normally with the same settings (mencoder dvd://1 -noodml -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:mbd=2:vbitrate=1800) it goes at about 28-30. I hated to think about taking three hours to make one pass on a movie encoding and so unmerged it and compiled myself from source. Now it works fine. I am very curious about what I did wrong, not so much for mplayer as I have it running fine but rather for a better knowledge of portage and such. My use flags in /etc/make.conf are this: "gnome kde jpeg gif tiff dvd dvdr emacs tcltk" in case they are responsible. Thanks in advance for any advice. Patrick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
