similar to: Theora vs. Nullsoft NSV

I found out about vp3 from the new winamp and coincidentally i also happen to be trying to find a suitable solution to broadband streaming. I have used flaskmpeg to create a 17mb .avi file from an 82mb Mpeg 1 file and it looks great it took about twenty minutes to encode. It runs for eight minutes and the audio is also fantastic using the lame encoder. However when I try to do the same in

How good is the video compression in vp3.2? For example, how does it compare (bit rate & quality) to mpeg1, mpeg2, Divx, real Video 8+, Windows Media, etc. etc. It being open source is nice and all, but if it can't be reasonably competitive then there isn't much point to it. I just haven't seen anything that compares vp32 to anything else. (Although to be honest, I haven't

I think what they're trying to do here is not only block non-SCDNAS servers, but also as many non-Shoutcast sources as they can. Think about it - if you're streaming MP3Pro without

a couple points before I look at this too hard: "For VP3, since you can't do a constant quality encode" what? that should not be the case. Could be a QT-specific bug. Theora at any rate is certainly capable of doing constant-quality encode. This probably explains your standard deviation complaint -- VP3 is running a rate control alg, where the other codecs are just shooting for

For some reason using the 2.3.0 Version I can no longer stream Nullsoft Video. I have the correct tags in the config file but for some reason the server will not accept the connection from the encoder. I started up shoutcast DSP and it streams fine so I know it's not the encoder itself. Anyone else seeing this or can tell me how to fix it? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML

Nullsoft Streaming Video. Basically a video container format. Can be used for files or streaming. Though it can use any audio video formats internally currently it is just VP3/MP3 (or VP5/MP3, but that's internal only and not publicly available). Basically video for the next version of SHOUTcast. http://www.nullsoft.com/nsv/ From: "Geoff Shang" <gshang@uq.net.au> > BTW,

Brainstorming Idea: Possibly add an xml api to the current yp logic, that way 3rd party providers could parse the stations in the yp off icecast.org in there media players. of course a plugin for winamp would be the first obvious choice(since the already have there own media library but uses yp.shoutcast.com), but others would follow. I remember seeing something previously at dir.xiph.org but

Sorry for the crosspost but I think it's important. Tom Pepper of Nullsoft, posted this yesterday. "We've considered heavily which direction seems most appropriate for the second generation audio codec of SHOUTcast. Our primary goal in the decision process was to provide smaller consumption of bits while maintaining similar quality and compatibility with existing playback systems.

What's the purpose of this NSV protocol? Is it some sort of container protocol

Hullo, When people ask me what Vorbis's license terms are, I usually tell them that the bitstream format is in the public domain, that the reference libraries are licensed under a BSD-like license, and that the example programs are licensed under the GNU GPL. (Note the distinction between filespec and implementation here.) Meanwhile, Theora.org's FAQ doesn't say anything about the

Hi, Quick note: In case anyone has not heard, Nullsoft, the people behind Winamp, have seen fit to develop their own multimedia container format. It can hold any kind of data, but their primary codecs are MP3 for audio and VP3 for video: http://www.nullsoft.com/nsv/ I and a few other people are still working out the details of the format:

As I understand it the current plan is to make it possible to losslessly transcode VP3 video to Theora video. In my experience, one of the "features" of VP3 is it drops frames in the event that there is little/no movement in a frame, or if "drop frames" is enabled, to drop frames if the data rate is getting too high. I understand that the way that VP3 does this in

I don't know how to change a video quality on the fly - I want to provide a slider with a preview window, so user could see the result immediately in this window. I tried to send ICM_COMPRESS_FRAMES_INFO to encoder or calling ICSetState() - with no success however. Am I doing something wrong ? How can I set 'lDataRate', 'dwRate', 'dwScale' parameters ? I tried every

Hi, Its been a while since I posted to this list. I have finished an application to stream Live Ogg Vorbis/Theora to file or Icecast server for Windows users. For example, you can stream your webcam/radio station with it. Maybe this will help make more Theora streams available as there seems to be very little Windows support. Some features are as follows: - Connects to DirectShow Input
