Just a quick announcement about a recently added feature:
The latest CVS now includes a version of libmpeg2 (http://libmpeg2.sourceforge.net) as an alternative to the FFMpeg-based video decoding. FFMpeg still handles the demuxing, but the video can be handed to libmpeg2 instead. This takes significantly less CPU on my test machines, so it's good for lower-end systems; my 450MHz Cube can finally handle SDTV.
If you use MPEG-2 video and want to try this out, enable the "Use libmpeg2 for video decoding" on the first screen of Playback settings -- it's disabled by default, so you'll have to explicitly enable it. Also, you must have XvMC turned off; right now, the libmpeg2 path won't work with XvMC, and forces FFMpeg decoding instead.
If I turn this on, it breaks bob deinterlacing. The deinterlace filter still gets called, but the part in videoout_xv is not being invoked. This means you get double-image output, one field above the other. When I get a chance, I'll take a look -- should be simple to fix.
