I imagine Arpi to be wondering how the libmpeg2 topic came up in the
Win32 DLL thread.

I've said so before in this thread and I'll repeat now: Provide
samples that fail with the new version of libmpeg2.  If there are
outstanding bug reports, please provide some URLs.  I spent some time
yesterday verifying bug reports about libmpeg2 and all the problem I
stumbled upon were either fixed or present in both versions and thus
no regressions.

I'll come up with some benchmarks of both libmpeg2 versions hopefully
later today.  Preliminary tests indicate that the new version is
faster than the old one.
