For what it's worth, my flames turned out to be correct. Right now
MPlayer is unusably slow at h264 because of the IPB model (which does
not suit h264, thus requiring it to use EXPORT type) and the lack of
support for decode-order slices (which requires arbitrary amounts of
buffering at the vo level). I serioysly hope that if you continue G2
you won't leave these fundamental design problems in place.. It will
only get worse with future codecs as they come up with more and more
idiotic ideas for frame dependencies..
