Re: XviD-devel Digest, Vol 70, Issue 3

Dear  Everybody:

       First I will thank you all, and double thanks to those who replied my questions.

       Thanks to  Michael and Dark Shikari,  I really find that my problems were caused by nasm version.

       My  envirionment  is:    Intel Core Duo CPU, 2.16G,  2G Mem, Fedora Core 8,    XVID source 1.1.3,  nasm 2.05.01 .

       Belows are the output of ./configure.  Please notice the red-marked section.  

       It says that my "nasm" is too old!!  In fact my nasm is the most recent version:  NASM version 2.05.01 compiled on Oct 29 2008. 

       

[libing@libing generic]$ ./configure

(..............I omit some unimportant infomation here.)

checking for yasm... no
checking for nasm... yes
checking for nasm patch version... nasm: error: unrecognised option `-r'
nasm: error: no input file specified
type `nasm -h' for help
-1
configure: WARNING: nasm patch version is too old
configure: WARNING: no correct assembler was found - Compiling generic sources only
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating platform.inc

[libing@libing generic]$ nasm  -v
NASM version 2.05.01 compiled on Oct 29 2008



Thus , my problems are listed below:

Q1.   How to compile xvid using   nasm 2.05.01 ? why my configure can not correctly process it?

Q2.   In the xvid_decraw.c , if I set use to XVID_CSP_I420, the decode speed may be up to 220 fps(720x576 video),
        If i use XVID_CSP_RGB565, the speed will slow down to only 80fps.   I wonder why it consume so much CPU time to do yuv/rgb convertion?

Q3.   When I compile xvid, if I want to use assemble language, I must manually define ARCH_IS_IA32 in xvid.h. Or else assemble code will not be 
        compiled.  


  I hope you can solve these problems for me.  Thanks !



Best reguard!

Are you really sure that not using "-asm" implies non-asm?  I would be
quite surprised if that was indeed the default...

Hi,
make sure you really compiled xvid with assembly optimizations enabled. You
need yasm or nasm present - or otherwise xvid will be compiled with c-code
only.
Also note that the -m option will write out data to your disk. It might be
that more time is spent on I/O than on the actual decoding. In that case,
asm and noasm options could seem to perform similar.
Regards,
Michael
