   Yes, that's been fixed. The --enable-mmx still works, but is only
activated if architecture is x86.

   No idea, but I guess yes. I'll have a look at it.

   They are put respectively in the vlc-gnome and vlc-fb packages. Did
you check that ?

same recent endianness problem.

   If you're running DDBroadway.vob, then yes, the image is still
distorted, We have a bug in our motion compensation code that is being
worked on (I don't know how long it'll take, I'm not doing it). You'll
probably get less distortion on dolby_egypt.vob.
