Hello,

First to new Real codecs: Great job! I will enjoy it on Linux, and I'm not alone...
On Mac there is no way, do not? It uses binaries for IA32...
BTW MPlayerOSX had more than 10.000 download in the first two-weeks!

Somebody (Arpi?) talked here about support for QuickTime binary codecs, it's multiplatform? Will be supported under Mac? There is no support for indeo, sorenson, wma... for MPlayer like under IA32 from DLL/proprietary binaries.

Who develop MPlayer port version for Mac? Is there some Mac-programmer? I know about Atmos (Felix B.) and Joey P., who have only access to Darwin on SF server farm (I think)... 

It would be pretty made a new -vo and -ao named quartz, which uses QuickTime (like in the VLC project). It will give better performence under MacOSX, I think. I have it on my todo list (maybe in the future :-), but any help is really wellcome...

My status on MacOSX (If somebody differ, answer me):

- Running -vo SDL is quite good (and people use this), but there are some bugs. Read my mail in dev-mplayer list...

- When -vo x11:
"RGB32 not supported on big-endian systems, please contact the developers" 
(And shared memory don't run too under XDarwin. :-(()

- When -vo xv: In these days XDarwin run me XVideo extension, but my ATI Radeon don't have support. Is there somebody who run XVideo on MacOSX/Darwin?

- When -vo gl, gl2:
Xlib:  extension "XFree86-VidModeExtension" missing on display ":0.0"
And crashes after open window: interrupted by signal 10 in module: decode_video
When I have time and somebody want reapair it, I will send better bugreport.

Now I have CVS snapshot 20020607, gcc 2.95.2
- I have only libavcodec compiled. Do somebody use anythink else?
- In the configure is not support for compilation of libmpdvdkit, I made it by hand. Darwin patches of dvd_reader.c is applied in this CVS version, but compilation of libmpdvdkit stoped me. Is supported or not in this time?

Ohhh. Now I read about new patches... we will see..
