I was about to says that it was twice slower than the proprietary official decoder, but I just re-did a benchmark and found exactly the same decoding time, so either my memory was wrong or its performance has increased. This decoder was merged in libavcodec last September; current Debian version of libavcodec dates back to last March: you will have ti build your own. Which is advisable anyway, since the Debian version lacks a lot of encoders. Regards, -- Nicolas George
