I hope this list is small enough for not beeing banned when introducing oneself. So... Hi, I just subscribed to the theora-lists. I'm from the XVID project, so I know a deal about video and MPEG-4 in particular, but nothing about Vorbis/Theora etc., That's why I'm here, because I'm interested in patent-free alternatives. I guess there is no documentation of the current status

this is slightly off topic and also it was posted to the tarkin list, but I think many people on this list are looking for an open source video codec. ;) On2 released the VP3.2 video codec as open source. I didn't read the license and could not say if it's really open source. http://www.vp3.com http://www.streamingmedia.com/article.asp?id=7871 --- >8 ---- List archives:

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

Hi there, I'm new to this list, and in fact rather new to the Ogg/Vorbis codec altogether. I recently downloaded the test files from the test conducted by the German computer magazine c't (this was mentioned by someone here recently). The idea was that you were given seven WAV files each for 64kbps and 128kbps, and had to rate them. The files were randomly chosen for each participant.

This may not directly be a vorbis topic, but it could have some VERY serious implications for open source development. I read this morning on the doom9 site about the "Security Systems Standard and Certification Act." I not a lawyer so I'm just going by doom9's interpretation. Here's an excerpt from doom9: "Should it pass kiss your rights as a consumer by bye. As a side

Hello Theora developers, I'm doing some cursory research into Theora's IP status in preparation for asking Apple to reconsider the possibility of shipping an implementation. I have a few questions and I'm hoping knowledgeable people can help out. 1) What are the terms of any patent licenses or disclaimers, and do they have field of use restrictions or limitations on code for

Hello fellows, Does anyone of you has found the hack to permit win xp home edition to join a domain controller. I found somewhere on the net a software that does this. But it cost 145 $ US, so like the upgrade... ( the only difference in that i will not give the money to Bill Gates) My problem is with the password modification. Every times someone does change his password, he has to go onto the

I have this problem with Samba: "create_workgroup: workgroup name PRAISENET is too long. Truncating to PRAISENET 2004/08/10 21:47:08, 0] nmbd/nmbd_workgroupdb.c:create_workgroup(68)" There are many lines like this in my logs, for every workgroup when its master browser is a Samba 3. Moreover there are duplicate domains (for the same domain) on the network Workgroup

I and some other people have problems with running the freedos image included in Ultimate Boot CD (UBCD), when using memdisk for floppy emulation. Memdisk starts booting the image and freedos shows the following menu: 0 Boot Clean 1 Boot UMBPCI (silent) 2 Boot UMBPCI (optimal) 3 Boot UMBPCI (semi-defensive) 4 Boot EMM386 (optimal) 5 Boot EMM386 (semi-defensive) 6 Boot no UMB (defensive) 7 Boot

An issue was raised at <http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1728923#post1728923> - FLAC uses WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE_CHANNEL_MASK tag to describe non-standard layout, but it isn't mentioned anywhere in FLAC format. Channel assignment is described at <https://xiph.org/flac/format.html#frame_header>: "Where defined, the channel order follows SMPTE/ITU-R recommendations."

Hello developers, I recently participated in a public listening test that was held by German magazine c't. They had two categories, 64 kbps and 128 kbps. I only participated in the 64 kbps test where there were 7 .wav files, with 1 of them the original one and the other 6 being encoded with different encoders. Without knowing which file was encoded with which encoder you had to give each

Maybe I don't understand you correctly, but 0000 is mono, not undefined. It says: 0000-0111 : (number of independent channels)-1 I agree that the use of WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE_CHANNEL_MASK should be documented. I can probably take a look at it this week or so, if no one hasn't already? 2015-07-05 13:54 GMT+02:00 lvqcl <lvqcl.mail at gmail.com>: > An issue was raised at < >

Hello, I would like to discuss a little about the NHW codec and its state after nearly 5 years on the Xiph forums. I also know that if I would like to discuss I'd better go to the great Doom9 and Encode.ru forums but for now I find that my codec is too experimental for these professional forums: - the codec is only for fixed 512x512 size, just a test tool. - there is only mid compression -

Hello, I just wanted your opinion on should I make a new release 0.1.5 of the NHW Project? I would like to finalyze all the current quality settings and add a -l8 high compression setting, and I am not far from it, all the quality settings are nearly validated if not final, and then release a new version. With this new version, I would like to extend my search area, and present the NHW Project

I think what you're looking for, for your purposes, is an ACM codec, to produce Vorbis data wrapped in a RIFF-WAV header. For use in WAV and AVI and the like. I did come across such a beast a while back, but I think it had trouble recognizing/decoding RC2-encoded data.

Hi, attached (hopefully ;-)) you'll find patches against the current SVN for xen-3.0 and xen-common to support Xen 3.1. Packages I've build with them run fine under Debian Etch for a couple of days now (with the official 2.6.18-4-xen kernel). But I am sure there will be some issues. I did not do any modifications regarding versioning - something that changes with Xen 3.1.
