[theora] NHW Project - high compression (-l6 setting and below)
Hello Ken, Many thanks for your reply! Yes, I very need to adapt the NHW codec to any image size.But actually it is the least interesting part, I don't think that it is that difficult (compared to creating high compression settings) but it is very boring, annoying... Really not the part that I prefer... For now, as I am jobless, my aim is to have "pleasure" with the NHW Project and to complete all the quality settings, in order to have a demo version on 512x512 image size that could maybe interest someone, a company that will then maybe hire, sponsorize me to adapt the codec to any size... Because to sum up, to adapt the NHW codec to any image size, I will need a paid contract for it.... Many thanks again for your feedback!
