Has anyone managed to get any DVD playing software running properly under SuSE 9 for the AMD64? I've got an ASUS K8V Deluxe MB and an NVIDIA GF5200FX video card, for what that's worth. I've been trying, with little success, to compile a working version of the 'Ogle' DVD player, but am running into all sorts of dependency issues with RPMs, and missing library issues compiling from source. If someone else has gotten this working, I'd be interested in hearing exactly what RPMs/source files you used and what steps you followed.

Just use xine ? Mike

Or maybe better, mplayer? :) (which I was able to compile and run with various degrees of success, depending on the options, but without win32 dll support in any case, so using 32bit rpms(not sure of the exact link, I used ones from the i386 apt repository) would be a better idea). Although there's quite a hassle with dependencies, it runs fine, and dvd support should be there.
Why don't we try mplayer, it always works fine. larry_prikockis@natureserve.org wrote:

I've been unable to get mplayer to compile on my AMD64 (K8V Deluxe MB, Geforce 5900), I CVS'd it and haven't had any success in compiling it. Is there a 64bit source code out there for it? PS I haven't been able to to compile the NVidia drivers either... Complains about HUNKS ... Life on the bleeding edge Thanks for listening to my whining... On Mon, 2004-03-08 at 21:54, lug wrote:

You should be much more specific about compilation errors!, and please have a look at the developer maillist on the mplayer site. (search x86_64) I have the same MB as you have, but with a Geforce2. It runs well with kernel 2.6.3 and the 1.0-5332 NVidia driver. About mplayer: the code is 64-bit clean and should compile well in 64-bit mode. I have modified, compiled and run etc. the 1.0-pre3 version extensively, so may be you should step back to this defined/stable version. It should be noted that the 64-bit version is slower than a well configured 32-bit version. For example converting PAL MPEG2 -> MPEG4+MP3 is more than twice as fast in 32-bit mode. /Henk On Wednesday 10 March 2004 06:29, Mitch Martinez wrote:

And I assume you also can only get win32 dlls support(thus quicktime,etc) from 32bit version(I use 32bit rpms from the apt repository, they seem to be just fine). Btw, I didn't have much luck(=none) getting replies about compilation errors on mplayer-users...Maybe I'll try posting them here someday :) When compiling in 64bit mode, it doesn't seem to really recognize the cpu and doesn't enable even half of the possible extensions...

You're right; If you want to let's say play rtsp:// RealMedia , you need the 32bit version. I am quite sure it is software/technically possible to combine 64bit- and 32bit code in such a way that the users only sees a 64bit process, but there is not much to gain there. If you compile mplayer in 32bit mode using only plain C (so not using i386 assembly versions) but with gcc -march=k8 and do the same in 64bit mode (which is only plain C and arch=k8+ by default) then the 64bit version is roughly about 10%-15% faster than the 32bit version. The real showstopper is the amount of fixed-register 32bit addressing in the assembly accellerators. Although you can get some i386 assembly code to compile in 64bit mode, most parts do not. :( Only the code that uses MMX/SSE intrinsics (xmmintrin.h) is perfectly portable and is the best way to benefit from the extra- and wider registers of the AMD64. If there is anyone that has compiled mplayer (or any other opensource signal processing software) in 64bit mode with a commercial compiler, I'll be very curious to know about the speedups compared to the 32bit version. /Henk
Fixed it, had to compile it with out the frame buffer ... now it works fine... On Tue, 2004-03-09 at 22:29 -0700, Mitch Martinez wrote:
