...n them? Since (again, if accepted) I will be getting paid, I'm not afraid of doing hard work and searching and studying documentation for things that I need to know. And, if everything goes well, I would love to keep contributing even after SoC. Thanks in advance for any suggestion. -- Lino Mastrodomenico E-mail: l.mastrodomenico@gmail.com

.../annevankesteren.nl/2009/05/web-video Two bits from the post: 1) the YouTube demo uses the H.264 codec, but I guess this will change if they want compatibility with Firefox 3.5; 2) Chrome uses FFmpeg for the decoding; can this cause bugs in the decoding of Ogg/Theora+Vorbis videos? -- Lino Mastrodomenico

...what, if anything, this means for Theora, open video and/or the Xiph.Org Foundation? Wild speculation: considering that they complained about the bitrate/quality of Theora for Youtube and they are supposed to be "not evil", maybe Google wants to free one of the new On2 codecs? -- Lino Mastrodomenico

Hello, it's a great pleasure for me to announce the availability of libtheora alpha8 and the imminent availability of beta1. http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/theora/libtheora-1.0alpha8.tar.gz alpha8 brings a completely new decoder (feature complete, lifted from derf's theora-exp) and additional control over the encoder (applications now can specify their own set of quantization

Hello list, When I convert an yuv pixel into rgb using the recipies in http://www.fourcc.org/fccyvrgb.php I get an accurate color conversion but the contrast seems to be decreased. If i write, e.g., the pixel directly into an sdl yuv_overlay, I get a well-contrasted frame, however, if I convert the pixel to rgb and call SDL_MapRGB, I get a contrast-decreased frame. Thanks, Ribamar

Our discussion in the "Theora Camcorder" thread has been great, but I didn't see a direction evolve for action yet. So, I'd like to propose the creation of a community website that will be focused specifically on this kind of thing, partnered with the Xiph Foundation. I'm also more than happy to host said website, as I have more than ample server capacity for that. I just

I'm pleased to announce the second alpha release of our next generation encoder for the free Theora video format, codename "thusnelda". The second release incorporates a number of changes which improve both compression efficiency and execution speed. This release includes working MSVC project files, but the assembly optimization hasn't yet been ported, so performance there will

Hi, I just wanted to say that I've recently become a fan off the ogg movie format. I haven't really done much with video before, but I recently got a Canon DSLR which can record HD movies at 30 fps, 720p. The resulting files are great, but too large to share over the web. After trying a few different encoding tools, I quickly found that ffmpeg2theora is super easy to use, gives good

Hi All, Should anyone be looking for one, here's a DirectShow-based command-line transcoder for Theora: http://www.eddiana.com/?totheora.html It can do basic video transcoding, as well as scale video, watermark video with a graphic, grab frame stills, capture from video sources, and perform a couple color transformations.

Hi everybody, I've had some time and so I added a slideshow creator with the Ken-Burns-Effect to the Ogg Video Tools. Feel free to visit the following page: http://www.server.streamnik.de:88/test.html It's best viewed with the Mozilla Firefox 3.1 Beta 2, but a Cortado Player is also available for the other browsers. The code is actually not publically available, as I would like to add

I tested the new FFMPEG2THEORA 0.26 and some players. 1. Biggest bug: http://freefile.kristopherw.us/uploads/temp/push5tru.zi7 encodes into http://freefile.kristopherw.us/uploads/temp/push5tru.ogv the problem: it doesn't play well. MPLAYER reacts very badly, reports "invalid frames" and HANGS (known issue ???). But in VLC there is also a problem, less severe:
