Does anyone how a clue what could be wrong?

Did it work before?

Try this:
$ sudo service gdm stop
(+ make sure Xorg server is no longer running)
$ sudo rmmod fglrx
(+ make sure the fglrx module is unloaded)
$ sudo rm /etc/ati/amdpcsdb
$ sudo aticonfig -f --initial
(this makes sure the amdpcsdb is regenerated from defaults)
$ sudo reboot
(yes, reboot, don't try to restart X server...)

If it still doesn't work, this is unfortunate and we can't do anything with it. All XvBA errors return "2" on error, and this is not useful at all...

No, it didn't work before, this is the first time I try.
It didn't help to regenerate amdpcsdb either...

How did you install 10-7? Via the run installer or with my script or...? Using the run installer it will definitely NOT copy 64 bit xvba libs.

I followed this guide: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubu...allation_Guide
The run installer made deb-packages which I installed...

Never noticed this problem on Ubuntu. Anyway, check you have an libAMDXvBA.cap file installed too.

audun@mediabox:~$ locate XvBA
/etc/alternatives/libAMDXvBA_cap
/usr/lib/libAMDXvBA.cap
/usr/lib/fglrx/libAMDXvBA.cap
/usr/lib/fglrx/libAMDXvBA.so.1
/usr/lib/fglrx/libAMDXvBA.so.1.0
/usr/lib/fglrx/libXvBAW.so.1
/usr/lib/fglrx/libXvBAW.so.1.0

The files are there.

Did you use my script? Would be best. Also for mplayer+co:

No luck, xvba_video still returns status 2...
