Yes, I did some more changes to MPUI. For example I exchanged the MPlayer logo and I added code to center the MPUI window on your screen.

Also note that CPU usage in Taskmanger alone doesn't say much about the actual performance of an application.
For example higher CPU usage can also mean that there are less situations in which the application has to wait idly, so the performance might actually be better.
Especially on multi-core (multi-processor) systems a higher CPU usage usually (but not always!) indicates better performance due to better multi-threading.
However if you feel the older build works better on your machine, feel free to use it...

Many thank's for your reply, mate

Yes, i had noticed the collor change and center window placement and that was actually also what i meant about "small UI changes"

Yes, about the cpu usage, then i understand what you say, but i was just very puzzled about the newer P4 optimized build did use about the double amount of cpu resources and about 7MB more in ram consumption, and as i only have a P4 1.7GHz with 256mb ram and where 32mb's of that is shared with the on-board graphics, then i will use your MPUI compile together with the MPlayer build from the official MPUI package(dev-SVN-r26251-3.4.2 compiled with CPU runtime-detection)...

Again, many thanks for your work and reply

CU, Martin.

Time for a RAM upgrade! You can get 4 GB of RAM for 60€ these days ...

Yeah, i know, but instead of upgrading my system because of bloated and resource hungry apps, then i just instead preffer to use effecient apps instead...

That's also the reason for me using Win2K with Fred Vorck's IE/Junk removal fileset, instead of XP or Vista and hence, my commit is just 34MB

I just tried out this windows mplayer package; nice. I've noticed two items, common to both front-ends, that I hope someone can shed light on.

1) When I add the -benchmark option, the output it is supposed to generate does not appear in the log files.

2) A "-vf screenshot" filter is being added somewhere (which causes a software scalar to be invoked for yv12 to rgb24 on my system). I couldn't find it in any of the gui options, and ended up having to add a -vf-del to undo it.

Comments? TIA!

That scaler is only invoked when you actually press the screenshot button, it does not affect the normal viewing of the video.

Try this from the commandline:
"C:\Program Files\MPlayer for Windows\MPlayer.exe" -noquiet "C:\Users\Hogge\Desktop\WWESUM~1.XVI\KYR-WW~1.AVI"

If it still crashes, than it's a problem in the MPlayer, either in MPlayer itself or in Sherpya's build.
I have some problem with the latest MPlayer builds too and I tried to report these in the MPlayer IRC channel.
But with "unofficial" Win32 builds they aren't willing to give support...

I hope the problem with skinned Buttons on Vista is fixed now. Here is a new Test build:

Hogge there is no problem with the current build....

mplayer has issues with Vista and Direct Draw, try changing the Video Out driver to gl:yuv=3 or gl:yuv=2:force-pbo:ati-hack i've found these 2 to give the best performance.

There must be a problem elsewhere with your setup, the only time i ever have playback issues is if the video requires more processing power than my pc has!

Can you please add an option not to upx almost all files in the installer, it takes long time to install mplayer.
Thanks!

Yep ...another Win 2k user here (the best M$ OS around there is a reason why its still a viable Vista upgrade ), but TBH 256 MB is a tiny amount of local RAM in todays world, I even use 388 MB in my 466 MHz router/firewall/server/main gate box (had been 128 MB for 6+ years of its life) and Win 2000 comes alive above 1 GB, all of my other win 2000 boxes run 2 GB or more.

As said its not a large amount of money and still about the best power/speed upgrade for any OS.

@Lenny_Nero:

Thank's for your reply, mate

Yeah, i see your point, but as i'm not using background-running stuff like anti-virus/malware(i just re-image every 7-14 days, or if having a problem and simply use common-sence), and are just using apps like Opera, ImgBurn,7-Zip, foobar2000, SumatraPDF and MPUI etc, then i'm actually alright with 256mb, but if running big apps and doing e.g. video encoding and such, then it would of course be a big bottleneck, but anyway, thanks again for your reply, and i apologise to Mulder for the off-topic'ness...

Does Mplayer support interlaced PAFF on H.264? VLC does support it on nightly builds, but those builds are not quite usable.

VLC and MPlayer use the very same H.264 decoder, namely ffmpeg/libavcodec. So if VLC supports PAFF, then MPlayer does too

BUT: The latest MPlayer builds for Win32 date back to 2008-07-18, so you might need to wait for fresh builds or compile your own MPlayer.exe ...
