Apparently this was needed for good DVD playback.
This demuxer has been removed in 1fde09db6f. All code added comes
from the revision before that. Some other bits have been removed in
later commits, and are added back as well.
Usage of memalign() is replaced by av_malloc(). As far as I can tell,
this memory is never free'd or reallocated, so no calls to av_free()
have been added.
The code re-added to video.c is plain horrible, full of code
duplication, full of demuxer/codecs specifics, but apparently needed.
Unrelated to re-adding the demuxer, re-add one codepath for
DEMUXER_TYPE_TV, which was accidentally removed in the same commit
demux_mpg was removed.
The closed captions decoder is not re-added.
Compiling with full features requires development files for several
external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements. For
more information see the output of './configure --help' for a list of options,
or look at the list of enabled and disabled features printed after running
'./configure'. If you think you have support for some feature installed
but configure fails to detect it, the file config.log may contain information
about the reasons for the failure.
Libraries specific to particular video output methods
(you'll want at least one of VDPAU, GL or Xv):
- libvdpau (for VDPAU output, best choice for NVIDIA cards)
- libGL (OpenGL output)
- libXv (XVideo output)
general:
- libasound (ALSA audio output)
- various general X development libraries
- libfreetype (for libass)
- libfontconfig (for libass)
- libass
- FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libpostproc)
Most of the above libraries are available in suitable versions on normal
Linux distributions. However FFmpeg is an exception (distro versions may be
too old to work at all or work well). For that reason you may want to use
the separately available build wrapper that first compiles FFmpeg libraries
and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against those.
