- mgrouchy 16y agoWell then I can't account for why it was choppy. Have to try it with some other files and see how it works.
- mansr 16y agoThe VLC application currently on the app store doesn't have ARM assembler optimisations enabled. Hopefully that will be fixed in an update. MPlayer on the N810 will be using some assembler optimisations. I strongly doubt the "all kinds of SD" claim, however. There is simply no way that CPU will be capable of decoding a typical SD H.264 video. MPEG2 or MPEG4-ASP may work if you're lucky.
- borism 16y agoWhy would they release non-optimized? Fail fast? H.264 is probably hard indeed, but with right command line optimizations doable.
- mansr 16y agoThere was a mysterious problem when assembler optimisations were enabled. This was fixed a few minutes ago in FFmpeg. As for H.264 on a 400MHz ARM11, no amount of command line options will magically make MPlayer manage full SD resolution. If the H264 decoder were fully optimised for ARMv6, it might get close for low-complexity videos, but hardly any such optimisations have been done. There is simply little point, as it would still be too slow in most cases.
