IRIX and Software

IrixDIVX and DVD encoding

I was just wondering, now that we have mplayer fixed to play all DVDs, would it be as possible to fix IrixDIVX? That would be very nice.

PS: Anybody know how to tell IrixDIVX where the DVD drive is? Mine keeps saying:

Code: Select all

Trying to playback xVCD or DVD

Trying forced device: /dev/scsi/sc3d6l0
Device doesn't exist or is invalid!


Which is because my DVD drive is on /dev/scsi/sc1d6l0. :?:
:Fuel: 500MHz 2GB V12
The DVD on my Octane is on SCSI bus 1, device 5. I just tried it, and got:

Code: Select all

/irixdivx/irixdivx.gl -d

IRIX Media Player 0.94 -> Copyright 2001-2003 by Brandon Corey. (OpenGL)
Video HW    : VPro Video

Trying to playback xVCD or DVD

Found a match: /dev/dsk/dks1d5vol
umount /CDROM2
Device is DVD Capable and has a DVD in the drive
Using device: /dev/scsi/sc1d5l0

It worked. I haven't used IRIXDiVX is a couple of years <hence version 0.94>, and there wasn't a DVD <or anything else> attached to the SCSI address it used.

For those of you out of date like I am, it looks like 0.96 is still the latest version.

That version hasn't been updated in years.
Once he won SGI's coding contest he never bothered to update the player any further.

Great! Now I have an excuse to get an Octane2! ;)
