MPlayer		May 11 2008

KEVIN PURCELL  The rc2 running on my "entertainment mac" (TiBook G4 867MHz) requires more CPU than the rc1 release. Seems like it isn't an optimized build for my CPU? Or is missing out on Altivec?

Measurements with typical xvid files seem to show a file that plays with around 66% CPU on rc1 now requires just about 100% on rc2. So about 50% more CPU for the same video file and same sized output.

Also the default output module MPlayerOSX doesn't hide the menu bar for full screen play (a sort of inversion of a previous bug).

Not a big win for me!  
(Version 1.0rc2)
