Comments on: How to compile mplayer with vdpau support on Ubuntu http://blog.avirtualhome.com/2009/05/29/how-to-compile-mplayer-with-vdpau-support-on-ubuntu/ Just my thoughts about things Wed, 28 Jul 2010 12:44:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: funicorn http://blog.avirtualhome.com/2009/05/29/how-to-compile-mplayer-with-vdpau-support-on-ubuntu/#comment-6829 funicorn Sun, 18 Apr 2010 21:05:05 +0000 http://blog.avirtualhome.com/?p=388#comment-6829 I am not very familiar with these steps. But I compile mplayer svn version directly and the configure log shows mplayer already support vdpau video output and has the relevant vdpau codecs built. So I'm wondering what the difference is.

The manual installation of the vdpau-dev libs should be replaced with: `sudo apt-get install libvdpau-dev` which is available in the vdpau ppa for ubuntu. Note, the mplayer supplied in that PPA doesn't work for me in 9.10 Karmic with the 190 driver. Nice guide. The manual installation of the vdpau-dev libs should be replaced with:

I did this"how to" and I'm afraid that it didn't work for me. Or, more probably, I did something wrong. I installed the 185.19 nvidia driver and compiled mplayer accordingly to the "how to". When I play a 720p movie without the config lines vo=vdpau,xv, vc=ffh264vdpau,ffmpeg12vdpau the CPU usage is arround 40%-60%. (I a have a intel dual core at 3Ghz). When I use the suggested config lines I get a bunch of "error while decoding frame" errors and these messages: "Too many audio packets in the buffer" and "FATAL: Could not initialize video filters (-vf) or video output (-vo).". Any ideas? 10x hi there!
