Tried the same tests with Gem? Any difference?
same kind of results for Gem.
although I encoded one video using mencoder .... forced ffmpeg mjpg as the codec. Mplayer plays it back with really low cpu (4% or something). Mplayer reports that it is using ffmpeg as the decoder.
when I try to open that same file in pix_film ... I get a message "ffmpeg: unsurported codec" .......wot? so pix_film is using a different version of ffmpeg? so I downloaded the latest ffmpeg and compiled it. No difference, pix_film still cant read it.
I got Gem from the demudi apt tree ..... does Gem come with its own version of ffmpeg statically linked inside it or something?
on debian, ffmpeg (libavcodec-dev,...) is only available as static libraries. Gem will link against these.
however, i think that mplayer links against its own version of ffmpeg (and having a look at the marillat's package description for mplayer-586 i also find that it depends on libavcodeccvs; probably it is worth to try to compile against this)
