Subject: [gentoo-user] Questions about optimal mplayer settings
Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2012 18:20:09 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121218232009.GA24866@waltdnes.org> (raw)
1) In the past couple of days I finally figured out what I was doing
wrong with hardware acceleration (causing lack thereof) with an onboard
Intel GPU in my HTPC machine. I've applied the same fix to my desktop.
mplayer now has 5 video output modes that actually show a picture...
xv X11/Xv
gl_nosw OpenGL no software rendering
x11 X11 ( XImage/Shm )
gl OpenGL
gl2 X11 (OpenGL) - multiple textures version
Which one has the best playback ability? Is there a test program or a
"torture test" video file I can use for testing?
2) When I start up mplayer, the diagnostics include...
"MMX2 supported but disabled"
There is no "mmx2" in the USE flags or in /proc/cpuinfo
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 15
model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4600 @ 2.40GHz
stepping : 13

...and I have "-march=native" in my CFLAGS. Any explanations?
