Comment 3 for bug 74312

If dvdsrc is installed, KungFu will use it, but it wont yet speed up thumbnail creation. The current thumbnail pipeline is tailored to dvdreadsrc, which means it has to drop down to STATE_READY to change the title. I need to write a new pipeline tailored to dvdsrc to get any speed improvement. Then I will choose the pipeline based on what src element is being used.

I certainly welcome any testing of dvdsrc, but I'll warn you that it's still pretty experimental. If you want to try my latest code, install the Bazaar package and then checkout my most recent code with:

bzr checkout http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~jderose/kungfu/dvdsrc

Then cd into the dvdsrc directory and type:

./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr/
make
sudo make install

I haven't figured out how to get things working if installed into /usr/local, so I've been just installing it into /usr, but this is really *not* what you want to do generally. The build stuff in dvdsrc is ugly right now.

To uninstall dvdsrc, you will need to manually remove the files
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstdvdsrc.*
Please be very careful doing this, as you could accidentally delete files that belong to some package.
