apt-get buil-dep mplayer
./checkout-patch-build.sh
script successfully download and compiled whle mplayer.
when i try play file ./mplayer some-file.mp4 it work.
when i try run ./mplayer -vo vaapi -va vaapi some-file.mp4 i get this
CPU usage is 0-1% so acceleration work
add -vo vaapi:gl[:reflect] is same.
using only -vo vaapi withou -va vaapi lead to normal output only colors is switched. people have blue faces. and CPU usage is 20-30%
using only -va vaapi is normal but CPU is still 20-30%
I guess I'm going back to Ubuntu 9.04....

Oh, and I installed it all manually.
If so, this package has been removed from the Testing branch altogether. I'll try to find it from another source

ATI Radeon HD 4850, Catalyst 10.1, ubuntu 9.10 64bit
in mplayer when -vo vaapi is used then colours are wrong - blue and red seem to be swapped. if i use only -va vaapi then it shows correctly, but doesn't seem to help with cpu usage very much (if at all). i see i am not only one with this problem, but according to http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbe...ne/xvba-video/ ATI Radeon 4870 should be officially supported. I have 4850 which should use same chipset then 4870 if i am not mistaken (RV770), but maybe its some difference in it which causes problems?

Concerning your colors problem, there are bugs and this is the current priority. Does this happen with a specific clip only or did you notice that with others too? Please try to post a capture (with a real camera for example). The clip could also help to see if this relates to the known problem. Thanks.
Note that only H.264 and VC-1 are accelerated. MPEG-4 Part-2 (DivX) are not handled by the HW. Please provide more information: MPlayer version used, likewise for xvba-video and the clip info.
