[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] altivec support for netbsd/powerpc platforms

[matthew green]

hi folks.


this is all i need to get altivec support working on netbsd (with a working
altivec GCC :-) for mplayer.  it provides 1.5-2x speed up for watching
and encoding large movies (eg, dvd size) and makes my mac actually able to
actually play them sanely :-)  unfortunately, it requires GCC 3.4 for
netbsd, GCC 3.3 has internal compiler errors.  the (new, non-apple) altivec
code for GCC wasn't really stable in 3.3 it seems..

it would be nice if this was commited before pre4.


thanks.


.mrg.
