with 1.0 about to be release we should make sure that the pkg-config files that are installed work. pkg-config does not know about alpha/beta/rc. so the order is 0.9 1.0 1.0.0 1.0RC1 1.0beta4 1.0rc1 1.1 one can check that with pkg-config --exists "theora >= 1.0beta3" && echo exists which will not be true if version is 1.0, and so all software that required a beta version, i.e. gstreamer uses PKG_CHECK_MODULES(THEORA, theora >= 1.0alpha5) will not work with theora 1.0 would be good to find a way to solve this so that we do not have to care about it in the future. j
According to http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/general.html#SEC6 and the mplayer-manpage, ffmpeg and mplayer (through lavc) provide native support for encdoing theora video, now. Can anyone confirm this? If yes, what is the point of ffmpeg2theora? Thanks for helping me understand ;) Hannes On Friday 10 October 2008 19:27:01 j at v2v.cc wrote:> ffmpeg2theora 0.22 is out - http://v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora > > * enable v4l input again (-f video4linux or -f video4linux2) > * ability to set framerate for image sequences (--inputfps) > * fix several memory leaks > * if only width or height are given, > the other is set to preserve aspect ratio > * -start / -end options now work with audio only input > * new option --novideo to disable video stream from input > * remove autotools build system, only scons build is supported now. > > Source: > http://v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/ffmpeg2theora-0.22.tar.bz2 > svn co https://svn.xiph.org/tags/ffmpeg2theora/ffmpeg2theora-0.22 > ? > Binaries: > http://v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/ffmpeg2theora-0.22.linux32.bin.bz2 > http://v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/ffmpeg2theora-0.22.linux64.bin.bz2 > http://v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/ffmpeg2theora-0.22.pkg.zip > http://v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/ffmpeg2theora-0.22.exe > > j > > > _______________________________________________ > theora mailing list > theora at xiph.org > http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/theora
Hey Hannes, I can confirm that. I compiled ffmpeg some months ago with theora encoding support. I had some trouble compiling that version, however it works for me (but this is only from a user perspective). The only main difference I know of is that ffmepg does not support the ogg-skeleton.
