hello,

Looks as if it is a problem with the code after all rather than a compiler error. If I compile the CVS version then it compiles ok along with all the MMX and SSE ASM stuff, without any errors or bad warnings, and it plays the videos without a hitch. What I have noticed is that the CVS version does not have the extra files in the libavcodec directory and these were the ones that were not compiling. so it looks as if extra checking will have to be done with this code before it is included with the next release. BTW your code is very good so lets hope the libavcodec code will be fixed soon.

Michael.
