[MPlayer-users] Porting Win32 Cineform codec in mplayer...

[George Dsilva]

Hi,
 
 I want to port Cineform Codec (which is DirectShow compatible)  to our mplayer.
 The steps followed to do this were as follows:
 
 1. Made a entry in "etc/codecs.conf"
 videocodec cineform
   info "cineform codec"
   status working
   fourcc CFHD,cfhd
   driver dshow
   dll "CFDecode2.ax"
   guid 0xAD83011E, 0x01d1, 0x4623, 0x91, 0xfd, 0x6b, 0x75, 0xf1, 0x83, 0xc5, 0xa9
   out YUY2
 
 
 2. Copied the "CFDecode2.ax" file in "/usr/local/lib/codecs" (win32 codecs directory on my machine)
 
 3. configured and compiled mplayer using configure and make tool respectively.
 
 After this, if I play a movie with Cineform codec, mplayer crashes. The following log file was generated...

 MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: init_video_codec
 - MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
   Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
   disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
 - MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
   It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
   gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
   DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
   won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.
 
 
 
 
 Can someone please guide me if I am missing any steps.
 
 Regards
 
 George
