I don't use it for DVD images. In fact, I don't use the DVD player plugin anymore, because this can easily be covered with the mplayer plugin, which I am using now.
OK... I am not sure if this will work for me, as I am only viewing via the output of my Nexus card, not a VGA monitor - or am I misunderstanding how the mplayer plugin operates?
The mplayer plugin doesn't do much more than offering a filebrowser plus a very clever passthrough of remote control codes. Mplayer itself then allows to output via mpegpes device, i.e. the full featured card. I don't have installed a VGA monitor either. This obviously works only for formats that works on that card. If you know bash scripting a little, dig through the mplayer.sh file that the mplayer plugin calls. This script implies a conversion step for formats that don't match, which is likely to be too slow on our poor 200MHz machines. Thus I disabled that functionality and am left with all sorts of MPEG(2)s, DVD and (S)VCD. That's quite sufficient for me. If I happen to get my hands on some DivX's and stuff, I recode that on a better machine to MPEG.
No. Initially I compiled liba52 without djbfft support and got the segfault and the message "No accelerated IMDCT transform found".
IMHO segfaulting doesn't indicate a wrong processor instruction set (e.g. no MMX) as this has its own signal. It's mostly due to faulty software or the compiler doing weird things. What optimization flags do you use? OTOH, it indicates that something "accelerated" is missing and that seems to be a runtime error. So maybe the liba52 is determining processor caps dynamically at runtime? Is there a relevant flag to "configure"? It seems to spit out that runtime error and die miserably...
