similar to: expected bitrates ?

Hello everyone, I'm developing software for a marketing company which creates multimedia presentations. We're currently using proprietary Windows software, but are looking for a royalty-free cross-platform solution. It's important that the solution is royalty- and patent-free because the presentations are copied and given out in large quantities for free (as in beer ;-) We are

Are there any Nouveau developers in Europe (preferably in the UK) who would like a GeForce 7600 GS? It's the AGP version and is no longer useful to me. I've got the power dongle (it requires a 350W power supply) and a S-Video to composite dongle. Specs: BFG GeForce 7600 GS OC (AGP) 512MB RAM DVI + VGA 1 x power dongle (the sort that plug into pata drives) 1 x "HDTV" dongle

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 tried out Theora to see what the future holds, and see some pros and cons. As a great plus, I have noticed that, even at the lowest quality (ie. "-v 0"), the detail, and overally quality is clearly better than anything else available. On the negative side, at qualities comparable to MPEG4, I've notcied a great deal of blockiness. It's not as bad as blockiness from other

dv file from minidv camera - interlaced. small dv created by imported jpeg images - not interlaced. seems that when I use ffmpeg2theora with deinterlace switch and reduce size, it works. But when the only reduction I am doing is to width (720x480 -> 640x480) the encoder ignores the naturally interlaced bit and uses the last de-interlaced frame. Since the small bit made from jpegs is a dv

Hi folks, I'm trying to get a handle on the many lossless audio formats from the perspective of a software developer. I love the FLAC format because it is open source and it performs very well. But there is also the MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing), AAC (Apple Lossless), and probably some Microsoft format(s) that compete in the same feature set. These formats all achieve

Hi,all, I cannot get my network in domain1 work. Here is my configuration: in dom0: I have two network cards, the ip addrs are 141.213.10.110 and 192.168.0.4, respectively. 141.213.10.110 is an external IP and can access internet directly. The gateway should be 141.213.10.1. /etc/xen/vfp: the domain1 configuration file, I created domain1 using ''xm create vmid=1 -f

Is it possible to install stuff like frameworks and directx etc?I'm especially interested in the directx part?

Hi I was surprised with size of Theora files and thought of feedback. Following 1minute duration Theora and Xvid files were made from a y4m file. The resolution is 1280x720: 1. Xvid 17MB 2. Ogg/Theora Q7 31MB 3. Ogg/Theora Q8 38MB 4. Ogg/Theora Q9 49MB 5. Ogg/Theora Q10 61MB The Xvid file was made using mencoder by 2 passes with following options:

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

How does the Theora project differ from Nullsofts NSV project?

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

Derf's from-scratch alternate implementation of the theora codec is now publicly available from our subversion repository. http://svn.xiph.org/experimental/derf/theora-exp/ This exciting new codebase promises superiour performance, and the encoder is capable of higher quality output than the current represenation, taking advantage of the bitstream extension we've added to the

Hi. First of all, thanks for Xen. It''s terrific! I''m interested in doing memory oversubscription and am wondering if Xen can do this (now or in the future). For example, on a machine with 100MB available physical memory, can I: 1. Create a domain with a 90MB allocation 2. Inflate a balloon in that domain and return say 40MB back to Xen I know there are mechanisms for doing

Hi, Since a number of people are eager to try out the native VP3 decoder in xine, I have made a patch available, bz2-compressed: http://www.pcisys.net/~melanson/codecs/xine-vp3-decoder-patch.bz2 To work with this patch: 1) Get the latest xine-lib from CVS. Visit this page for more details: http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=9655 The module name is xine-lib, but you will also need

So my question I guess is for people that may have done this? Anyways I see the bartpe load screen then the xp load screen and then it blue

Hi, So it took a little while to get here but VP3 through ffmpeg is finally starting to achieve viewable results. It partially works right now. Keyframes only. And monochrome. Oh, and the picture is upside down (something I did not realize about VP3 until I let it fly just now). Anyway, here is a picture of ffmpeg's VP3 decoder in action using xine:

The vp3 / theora decoder in FFmpeg project received a major speedup: http://multimedia.cx/eggs/profiling-and-optimizing-theora/#comment-150751 http://git.ffmpeg.org/?p=ffmpeg;a=commit;h=6e8061980c9a18a0eb9802f5dc5becc349066680 http://git.ffmpeg.org/?p=ffmpeg;a=commit;h=8476744ba50d26a3e188def192cd9086b0f781d7 http://git.ffmpeg.org/?p=ffmpeg;a=commit;h=a51faef9b61bd80499a28322802ef4b22be44d43

can anyone confirm that, unlike VP3, Theora in fact decodes images right-side-up? (VP3 managed to turn everything upside down on encode and reverse it on decode) The tests I'm doing indicate that Theora doesn't reverse the image -- the first coefficients encoded correspond to the upper-left corner of the frame. ___ Dan Miller (++,) Founder, On2 Technologies --- >8 ---- List
