Bug 11510 – xvid use var

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jacob Perkins 2002-12-02 18:38:39 UTC]

xine-lib and mplayer can build with xvid support if xvid is installed, so maybe
these ebuilds could have an xvid dependency, possibly with a new use var.  A use
var would let people choose between divx4linux and xvid since these codecs
appear to be incompatible.  Also, xvid-0.9.0 builds fine, though I haven't
tested encoding (and if possible, change source@pipeline to jap1@ionet in the
ChangeLog).

I fixed your email address in the ChangeLog.

I'll look into trying to add xvid support to xine a bit later.

What is the take on this ?  Dont it use xvid if found, and ffmpeg for divx
like mplayer ?

I still haven't had the time to have a look at xvid.  I'm a bit busy right now; Martin, if you feel like taking this bug over, feel free. ;^)

[Comment 4 Andrew Cooks (RETIRED) 2003-11-19 05:32:29 UTC]

the use var exists, but neither mplayer, nor xine uses it as far as i can tell

Retiring as a Gentoo developer.

[Comment 6 Brian Harring (RETIRED) 2004-05-26 22:21:26 UTC]

There now is a global xvid use flag, and I just closed out bug #30242.

Looking into it for xine, unless others want to handle it.

Slip this in after the security bug is handled.

[Comment 8 Patrick Kursawe (RETIRED) 2004-10-01 03:44:34 UTC]

Looks like the bug this depends on was fixed. Did I miss something or is it OK to close this bug?
