[MPlayer-dev-eng] Opportunity for list members (w/ attach)

[Jeff Gladnick]

Perhaps I have misunderstood the problem then.  I probably should have 
used the words open source, or free. Let me re-iterate

1) My goal is to use software that will not require us to pay expensive 
fees (ie microsoft) which we cannot afford

2) I am not married to mpeg-2, and xvid perhaps may be a better choice, 
it was just the first one that popped in my head.  Also, the VIA board 
seemed to support mpeg2 very well.

3) I am not married to the via board either, however, it does have 
EXCELLENT power usage requirements.  Since this system is runnning on 
batteries, that is a HUGE factor.  I am open to other hardware options, 
but a great deal of emphasis must be placed on power usage.
