AmigaOS 4/MorphOS bounty: MPlayer Altivec optimization
Konstantinos 'feanor' Margaritis would optimize the PPC-port of MPlayer for the Altivec-unit built in G4-, G5- and PA6T-processors, if 1000 Euro will be donated. A corresponding bounty now was opened at bountysource.com.
The goal of the optimization is to be able to perfectly play the h264-coded trailer of the motion picture Prometheus in a solution of 1920x1080 pixels on a X1000 - currently only 18 instead of the required 24 frames per second are achieved. If a Altivec optimization is able to increase the performance by 33% and how much influence on less powerful processors it would have, currently the software developer cannot reckon.
The description of the bounty does not say for which systems the optimization has to be released. Margaritis does not own an OS4-compatible computer, but only a Powerbook G4.
