[MPlayer-users] --enable-altivec problems

[Magnus Damm]

Hi,

First of all: Thank you for a very nice media player!

However, my PowerPC box gets corrupted video output with some files 
if I pass --enable-altivec to configure. Some files work ok, some not. 
Probably due to some fourcc combination or something.
You can probably figure out why with the output below.
I've tested 0.90rc4 and CVS today. Both have the same problem.

I've also tried x11/xv/xvidix output - doesn't seem to matter either.

Feel free to contact me for further information / testing.

thanks.

Example 1: Playing a mpeg file with altivec enabled. 
This works great with and without altivec.

Example 2: Playing a avi file with altivec enabled. 
Without altivec the file looks like it should, 
but with altivec the video output is wierd.
