[gobolinux-users] Mplayer and libmp3

[Andy Feldman]

Xvid encoding support probably depends on the Xvidcore package.
Mplayer seems to auto-detect most codecs like this at compile-time, so
if you install Xvidcore and recompile Mplayer, I'd expect xvidenc to
start showing up as a valid option.

To test which drivers Mplayer will compile, switch to the source
directory (e.g. /F/C/Sources/MPlayer-1.0rc1) and run ./configure. At
the end, it will produce some output that includes this:

  Enabled optional drivers:
[...]
    Codecs: xvid libavcodec faad2 libmpeg2 liba52 mp3lib libtheora
speex tremor(internal) libmad gif
[...]
  Disabled optional drivers:
[...]
    Codecs: qtx x264 libdv amr_wb amr_nb real xanim win32 faac
musepack libdts twolame toolame liblzo
[...]

Just make sure the codec(s) you want (such as xvid) all appear in the
"enabled" section, and then you can issue Compile Mplayer.
