Is there a file anywhere that I can edit, which mandates that to use the
vdpau use flag, I have to have the vdpau package installed?
geze.. there it is in the ebuild.
Removed the dependency and all compiles/works well.
Thanks for the time and help!!

Some ffmpeg-using applications (e.g. mplayer) allow you to pass numbers
of threads (e.g. I use 6 on my Core-I7) to ffmpeg; others (e.g.
chromium) do not.
So I'm thinking of hardwiring a default threads number=6 into the ffmpeg
source code; recompiling.
Q: Has anyone done this; if so any

First, mplayer uses its own bundled ffmpeg

Is there any faster and reliable way to checksum whole paritions (not
on per file base)???
FWIW, portage has a tool called dcfldd that works well for me. It is
dd with the addition of:

Not from my experience; I simply mount, exec, and go - Works fine
Let's say you are 50% done copying a partition, when something

If anyone has advice on what I should look at forensically to
determine the cause of this, it is appreciated. I'll first dig into
the logs, bash history etc. and really hope that this very happened
recently.
Thanks for any tips and wish me good luck.
FYI. If anyone understands the bash tweak, please explain :-)
