[sorry if this gets double posted -- i think the first copy got bitbucketted for mentioning a nasty version of gcc by name ;] with video scaling enabled, mencoder (latest cvs) fails with the following error (printed repeatedly) when compiled with 3dnow support: SwScaler: BICUBIC scaler with YV12 output using 3DNOW @@@ libmpeg2 returned from sig11... (bad file?) @@@ and similarly if bilinear or fast bilinear scaling is used. apparently segfaults are trapped with libmpeg2; when trying to scale while using a different codec, the program outright crashes. further, the same thing happens when just using mmx for scaling; however, recompiling with both 3dnow and mmx support omitted fixes the problem. and no, i'm not using a broken gcc [version number omitted so this message can get through], just good ol' 2.95.2, which iirc is for all intents and purposes the same as 2.95.3, as long as no c++ is involved. if any more information from me would be helpful, please contact me by email directly. i try to follow the list archives, but the volume is way too high for me to actually subscribe to it, and sometimes i overlook a few days worth of messages. thanks. rich
