Hello.

About a year ago I reported problem with VLC on Fedora, where H.264 movies
were not playable on Intel Core2 Duo. The problem was that VLC only used
a single core, while the other one was completely idle.

I'm glad to report, that with vlc 0.9.2 and latest ffmpeg compilled
from sources both
cores are being used now and all my H.264 movies play fine. Here's the
top output:

Cpu0  : 25.9%us,  0.7%sy,  0.0%ni, 73.4%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si,  0.0%st
Cpu1  : 63.4%us,  0.3%sy,  0.0%ni, 36.0%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.3%si,  0.0%st

Could please Fedora maintainers update the packages to have this also available
via yum?

Thanks, Petr
