I am very new to Gentoo and portage and just beginning to learn to |
2 |
find my way around. For the most part things have been good, but |
3 |
MPlayer has proved to be a difficulty. Not in basic functionality |
4 |
though, but just speed. |

What I did was start with a basic 'emerge -a mplayer' which installed |
7 |
mplayer and a codec package. Everything seemed very solid and seemed |
8 |
to work as it should. But when I tested mencoder with a dvd it would |
9 |
only run at something like 12 or 14 fps. Normally with the same |
10 |
settings (mencoder dvd://1 -noodml -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc -lavcopts |
11 |
vcodec=mpeg4:mbd=2:vbitrate=1800) it goes at about 28-30. I hated to |
12 |
think about taking three hours to make one pass on a movie encoding |
13 |
and so unmerged it and compiled myself from source. Now it works |
14 |
fine. |

16 |
I am very curious about what I did wrong, not so much for mplayer as I |
17 |
have it running fine but rather for a better knowledge of portage and |
18 |
such. My use flags in /etc/make.conf are this: "gnome kde jpeg gif |
19 |
tiff dvd dvdr emacs tcltk" in case they are responsible. |

Thanks in advance for any advice. |
