Fwd: [x264-devel] Suspected GPL violation by Erightsoft "super"

Yet another GPL rape

Hi guys,

the SUPER codec by Erightsoft

http://www.erightsoft.net/SUPER.html

contains lots of GPL and LGPL code:
mplayer, ffmpeg, x264, musepack, theora,
which they admit and give credit for.

Still, their product is proprietary,
and they insist on it. I tried to get
the source through their forum, but they
of course won't give it:

http://www.erightsoft.net/Supforum.html

I'll forward this to the different mailing
lists, so you can discuss and coordinate

Mplayer on Vista

Hi,

I've been running Windows Vista for a while now, and Mplayer works great, except
for the annoying disabling of DWM (or 'Aero') as long as Mplayer is operating.
This means all the transparency/translucency is gone, but even worse is the
black-out of the display when starting and ending a movie.

The problem lies within vo_directx, but I'm afraid I don't really know where to
look specifically. I haven't found much information from MS yet on what causes
the switch to Vista Basic.

Has anyone looked into this yet and found a solution to the problem?

The overlay hardware can't possibly work in that environment unless your
graphics drivers emulate it via 3D hardware (Xgl on linux uses that
approach, though it has its own problems).
Tried just using -vo gl (or -vo gl:yuv=2 for better speed)?

Yes, I figured it'd be a problem with the overlay approach. I took a look at the 
source code of Media Player Classic, it uses D3D to display the video image. 
Here, the switch to Vista Basic does not occur.

Unfortunately, ATi currently doesn't provide OpenGL drivers for Windows Vista, 
so I couldn't test that.
I guess I'll have to wait for those drivers then ;)

cdda enabled and "disabled" at the same time with libcdio

This is a minor, cosmetic matter.

I wanted to be able to play CDs with MPlayer. cdparanoia cannot be built 
with MingW/MSYS, so I installed libcdio-0.77. It does not compile all the 
way (lib/udf/udf_time.c does not compile because struct timespec is not 
defined), but libcdio_paranoia is built and installed. The resulting MPlayer 
can play CDs with cdda://.

However, my list of enabled and disabled optional drivers looks like this:
  Enabled optional drivers:
    Input: ftp network tv live555 CDDA dvdread dvdnav
    Codecs: qtx x264 xvid amr_wb amr_nb libavcodec real win32 faad2 libmpeg2

    Audio filters:
  Disabled optional drivers:
    Input: vstream pvr radio tv-v4l2 tv-v4l1 CDDA mpdvdkit2 vcd dvb smb

Please don't provide this much information.  If you do there is a real
danger that we might even figure things out ...

Fixed in SVN r20507, please test.

rmvb/rm in GUI mode

Hi, in GUI mode, rmvb/rm file can't be seek by seekbar.
I think add these lines in function static void demux_seek_real(demuxer_t *demuxer, float
rel_seek_secs, float audio_delay, int flags) to libmpdemux/demux_real.c will solve this problem:
if (flags & 2) {
  rel_seek_secs = rel_seek_secs*(((real_priv_t *)(demuxer->priv))->duration);
}
after the code:
    if (flags & 1)
 /* seek absolute */
 priv->current_apacket = priv->current_vpacket = 0;

how about it?

Fixed (very slightly) different in SVN r20508.
