There's a xine-vdpau version available --- I downloaded and compiled it, but kaffeine needs to be compiled to work with it, and I couldn't compile kaffeine: l...@yun:~/Inst/vdpau/kaffeine/kaffeine-1.0-pre2$ cmake src/ CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:29 (kde4_add_executable): Unknown CMake command "kde4_add_executable". CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt: No cmake_minimum_required command is present. A line of code such as cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8) should be added at the top of the file. The version specified may be lower if you wish to support older CMake versions for this project. For more information run "cmake --help-policy CMP0000". This warning is for project developers.

But to get kde to work at all, I had to use one or another package from unstable or experimental because the dependencies in testing were broken. I'm not sure what I'm missing for compiling kaffeine, but it seems that I might mess up things even more trying to install those, so I gave up at that point. Apparently, mplayer is supposed to be able to use vdpau, and 'mplayer -vo help' lists it. But when telling it to use it, CPU load during playback isn't lower than with kaffeine: I doubt that mplayer does actually use vdpau --- or if it does, then why is the CPU load still high? How can I tell for sure if mplayer does use vdpau? > Don't know about the rest. Hm. Is mplayer eventually able to play HDTV with sound? I couldn't get it to work with the TV card at all because I couldn't find out what the format of the channels.conf it needs is and how to create one. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
