The error message is the same Arne reported. Buck modified mmx.h
about two weeks ago. Did you use current snapshot of libdv ?
I never got such an error message (K6/2-400, K6/2+-500@550)  so this
is perhaps compiler/distribution dependent (SuSE 6.3).

Libdv has now SDL and XvImage support buildin (selectable in Makefile).
SDL version I got did not compile so I have to search a more recent one.
