Looks a bit harder than I initially thought.
The codec now tries to build a Dialog box during initialization, which means
implementing (or faking) a bunch of windowing functions.  It'll likely take 
some time
to resolve.

Try R74.  I just hacked out the dialog stuff, and it seems to work ok.  
Hopefully the
hacks won't cause any issues.

Reopen the ticket if you still see issues

Hello Alan,

thanks a lot for being up to it. Now there is hope again :) !
Please let me know, if I can help you somehow.
I'm one of the active members of the MyMediaSystem Project (Open Source Media 
Center
for Linux http://forum.mymediasystem.org ), and I'm pretty much interested in 
having
a working solution for playing back AVCHD footage. I've reported at CoreCodecs 
forum,
that there are problems playing back this AVCHD footage, like many other did, 
and
version 1.8.5.0 should reflect/correct (some of) these issues now. As you can
imagine, my disappointment was very big, when I ran into this Segmentation 
Fault.
Since I'm tracking this issue at my http://blog.mymediasystem.net , I can say, 
that
quite a few are looking also into this, so the interest is quite high!

Thank you very much!

Regards,
Andreas

Hi Alan,

coreavc-for-linux svn #74 compiled fine agains mplayer svn #27809. Playback of
Matroska works great, as it did in prior versions.
So your part of the work looks pretty much successful to me! Really great job. 
Thanks!
Unfortunately AVCHD content is being played back, but almost as bad as before. 
But
that's another story. See my Blog, if anybody is interested.

Thanks again. 

Regards,
Andreas

THanks for the quick fix.  Can someone post a 64-bit compatible binary?

Here'a howto for x86_64 systems, with binary I've compiled myself. I've tested 
it on
a Ubuntu 8.10 and it's working for me.
