News: MPlayer 1.0rc1 released
fastreaming.com
News from the official website of MPlayer:
We wish to thank the Google Summer of Code project for sponsoring the
FFmpeg project. Thanks to the SoC program for 2006, the FFmpeg project
was able to get help from students to implement more native codecs.
The highlights of this release are native VC-1/WMV3, On2 VP5 and VP62
(used in some Flash video files) decoding, which works even on
non-Intel platforms and SSA/ASS/color subtitles.
Furthermore we can now run natively on Intel Macs (you just have to
pass --disable-loader --disable-mp3lib to configure), -endpos was
finally added to MPlayer and the Windows GUI has seen a number of
improvements.
Vorbis decoding has seen a big speedup, as has H.264. The
optimizations to H.264 are still ongoing, but the difference should
already be noticeable.
And last not least many bugs were found and fixed since pre8.
MPlayer 1.0rc1 will no longer load a file-specific configure file
located in the same directory as the file you're playing, because of
potential security concerns (thanks to Rudolf Polzer for pointing this
out); if you want to restore the old behavior add -use-filedir-conf.
If you already have the binary codec package from pre8 you don't need
to redownload it: The new 20061022 packages do not contain any new
codecs, they just miss some that now work natively.
