Hi all,
I had an interesting experience yesterday.
I created a MPEG4 movie with mencoder (which comes with MPlayer) from a
VCD.
The movie was around 1 hour long, and the final size of the MPEG4 file
was 330 megs.
Cool!!
But, what's even cooler was the [sort of] benchmark which I did.
1. Windows XP (setup for "best performance) - Windows Media Player 8.
Lost Audio Video sync as soon as it started,
2. Windows XP (setup for "best performance) - DivX Player 2.0 Alpha 3
(from DivX networks)
Lost Audio Video sync within a few minutes
3. GNU/Linux (RH 8.0) - Mplayer (cvs version - updated yesterday)
Playback was flawless throughout (and Evolution,OOo, Mozilla, GNOME2
was running in the background)
....and I have a PIII 672 Mhz, 192 Megs, and a NVidia TnT2 M64 with 32
megs onboard.
...eh?? did anyone say you can't play good quality video in Linux??
-cheerio-
