similar to: My query to MPEG-LA

I've compiled all the e-mails between me & MPEG-LA, along with an explanation and some major conclusions, here: http://www.librevideo.org/blog/2010/06/14/mpeg-la-answers-some-questions-about-avch-264-licensing/ Comments welcome, discussion even more so (preferably some of that on the site, too...). -- *Basil Mohamed Gohar* abu_hurayrah at hidayahonline.org

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

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello everyone! My name is Basil Mohamed Gohar, and I'm an avid free software user & advocate.

Thanks for your answer, well I changed this parameters on icecast.xml and the the delay reduce from 20s to 12s <burst-on-connect>0</burst-on-connect> <burst-size>4096</burst-size> Well I was trying to reproduce mp3 and ogg but both have 12 s of delay. How can I reduce to maybe 1 or 2 seconds. 2013/8/7 <icecast-request at xiph.org> > Send

Yeah, the app will probably only be for viewing statistics and other Icecast data - and not for "managing" or modifying the server since it isn't possible from the Web interface. Any suggestions for what Icecast data the app should display? On Sun, Oct 6, 2013 at 2:29 AM, Basil Mohamed Gohar < basilgohar at librevideo.org> wrote: > On 10/05/2013 04:26 PM, Elad Nava

Hey Theorans, Yesterday and today I decided to try out broadcasting a video stream using Theora from my computer's built-in webcam. I was pleasantly surprised to find that, while maintaining a rate of less than 150kbps, the stream was of quite a suitable quality sending 640x480 video at 15 frames per second. For now, this is video only, by the way, I did not include any audio in the stream

In the discussion of having a freedom-friendly camcorder or other video device, we discussed the idea of using intra-only Theora video to make post-recording editing a much easier process, allowing things like frame-by-frame editing without the need to decode and reencode the video again, thus incurring loss. I was quite skeptical of the efficiency of intra-only Theora, and I had speculated that

Hello, So here is the compression scheme that I don't know if is covered by patent. I use it on the wavelet DC parts.It outputs 1 byte (8 bits) words.There is 5 modes: - 1(MSB) | 7 bits to store value (0->127 range) - 01 | 6 bits to store val[n+1]-val[n] | val[n]-val[n-1] if each in the range [-4,4] - 001 | 5 bits to store val[n+2]-val[n+1] | val[n+1]-val[n] | val[n]-val[n-1] if each in

Hey all, I've setup a simple page that just displays a live webcam stream of me at work, and it supposedly falls back onto Cortado if your browser doesn't support the <video> tag. The URL is here: http://media.basilgohar.com/stream/ There's been a lot of talk about live streaming and low bitrate streams. Here is my command line (I've posted this before): time ffmpeg -f

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey all, I'm a bit disappointed, but it seems that I won't be able to get all the testing results that I wanted for the new vs. old Theora encoders done this week. I am rather busy with some family matter and we're also going to be moving from Malaysia back to the US shortly, God-willing, so things are a bit hectic here. I have done

I just finished using my mother's PC which is running Windows XP. I downloaded & installed, or already had installed, the latest versions of VLC Media Player (1.0.5), Media Player Classic - Home Theater (last release was in August 2009), Miro (already installed), Mozilla Firefox (3.6), Google Chrome (latest from website today), Opera (10.50 Alpha, latest build from the website), and

Hello, Ok, and that's too many work to review a source code.In my codec, I have 3 compression schemes, I think 2 are not patented, but the third... I don't know.For the rest, I think my codec is patent-free (I don't use SPIHT,EZW,zerotree methods), even the wavelet transform is new and don't use the lifting scheme nor the convolution product. Else, if you found time to review the

Hey all! I'm sure you've all been missing my webcam stream, so I decided to start it up again (also, I wanted to do it for my family overseas). However, this time, I'm doing things a little bit differently. For starters, the encoder is the current (as of about an hour ago) ptalarbvorm branch which is destined to become libtheora 1.2. Another difference is that I'm using

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Since I'm planning to finish my encoding tests that Ralph asked me to do a while ago after I return to the US (God-willing!), I thought I'd throw out a request to other more-experienced video folks.
