[Mjpeg-users] Errors with compile

[JoeHill <jo...@sy...>]

Hello all, 

Brand new user here, had no idea these tools even existed til a few days ago
when I bought my DVD player and decided I wanted to see if I could encode some
of my DivX movies to SVCD.

Good news is, I can.

However, I am using Mandrake with mjpegtools-1.6.1-9mdk, and the script I use,
mencvcd, takes about 24 hours to encode a 700MB DivX to VCD on my aging P3 866
with 392MB RAM.

When I originally tried to compile mjpegtools from source, I was warned that
without "nasm", performance would be very poor. So I installed the Mandrake nasm
package, and proceeded to build. ./configure goes ok, but when I try to 'make' I
get this error:

/home/joehill/tmp/ccdc9rev.s: Assembler messages:
/home/joehill/tmp/ccdc9rev.s:625: Error: symbol `NOT_SUPPORTED' is already
defined make: *** [jdapimin.o] Error 1

I read the install instructions carefully, and I believe I have all the required
software installed, I am not sure what this error means (actually, this error
comes up both when I try to build mjpegtools *and* when I try to build 
jpeg-mmx).

I would like to see if I can improve the speed with which SVCD's are encoded, if
I am barking up the wrong tree, please feel free to slap me with trout.

Thanks for any assistance.
