CoreAVC and archlinux

Well i have spent the past few days trying to get

http://code.google.com/p/coreavc-for-linux/

to work to no avail

as of the moment it is the only way i can play decent quality videos on my laptop

i was wondering if any one else has been able to get it to work with the recent builds of mplayer

or

have a working copy they would not mind linking in some way shape or for for me to use

also i see there is a working version for ubuntu could this help in any way?

CoreAVC isn't that fast actually, I really doubt it makes an unplayable video playable. Do you have a multi-core processor by any chance? If so, mplayer-mt is a much better option.

No i have a single core pentium 3 897mhz and i know for a fact it can play 720p videos was doing it on windows with out an issue now on linux with out coreavc it laggs a bit and the audio gets out of sync (again did not happen on windows)

i have set frame droping and some other settings in smplayer and it makes it a bit better but it still laggs a bit

Re: CoreAVC and archlinux

Are you streaming those videos or playing them from your harddrive? What other options do you use with mplayer apart from '-framedrop'?
This one is out of date, but you can try it anyway https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20145

FWIW, here are the options I used from the cli with an older computer:

mplayer -vf eq -cache 8192 -lavdopts fast:skiploopfilter=all no-correct-pts -framedrop -quiet yes -really-quiet yes

Framedrop kills my speed. I don't use it with the other options though, I sometimes accidentally hit "d", and have now unbound it.
