Re: WORKAROUND: transcode-1.0.0-1.2.fc4.i386.rpm - segmentation fault

Ralf:

Below is the output from /proc/cpuinfo.  I do see "sse" listed, but not 
"sse2". I just know that when using either "sse" or "sse2" transcode 
doesn't work for
me.  I also find it weird that the "autodetect" option of "--accel" appears to
work.  I thought "autodetect" was the default option.  I now wonder if the
default is "SSE" and if the implementation in transcode is Intel specific
(seems unlikely, but that is the way it appears, cause it doesn't work - and
apparently folks with Intel or AMD 64 processors aren't reporting this
problem).  Am VERY curious as to what is going on...

Thanks!
