similar to: Cross-Compiling VP3 on Linux

Hi, I have been working with VP3 for some time now. Dan Miller from On2 just told me about this list. A few months ago, I managed to get On2's VP3 source snapshot to compile under Linux, a feat that many have apparently attempted and quickly abandoned. I compiled a small console app and the results of the experiment are explained here:

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

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:

Hi, Is there anything special I need to know about VP3's IDCT? I mean besides the fact that there are separate IDCTs to handle sparse coefficient matrices. Are the IDCT functions mathematically equivalent to any textbook IDCT functions?

Hi, I have been on a documentation kick recently. I finally updated my VP3 format document tonight: http://www.pcisys.net/~melanson/codecs/vp3-format.txt v0.2: October 9, 2003 - expanded section "Reversing the DC Prediction" - added Appendix B: Theora Differences Feel free to look it over and point out any glaring mistakes. I can't wait to see how much sense it makes to

Hi, Check it out-- another update in the space of a week: http://home.pcisys.net/~melanson/codecs/vp3-format.txt v0.4: March 2, 2004 - renamed and expanded section "Initializing The Quantization Matrices" - outlined section "Reconstructing The Frame" - moved Theora Differences Appendix to its own section entitled "Theora Specification" - added Appendix:

Dan, In reviewing the code, derf came across the DCSearchPoints array in QuadCodeDisplayFragments(), encode.c:696. It looks like it specifies a search order for nearby coded fragments for prediction if there isn't a nearest neighbor. However, the upper search bound is defined as *0*, so the search loop (line 917) is never executed and it always falls back to the last coded fragment.

Hi, I am making good progress on understanding, documenting, and re-implementing VP3. I have found some more deadwood in the decoder code and I just wanted to verify that it really has no place: * Version 3.3 tables: There are 2 sets of VLCs: One for v3.1 and one for v3.3. The v3.1 set is always selected. Are the v3.3 tables in production, or will they ever be? * DC Search Points: VP3

Hi, Some of you may recall that I got the VP3 decoder working with the xine multimedia player some time ago and posted a patch for anyone else to try. I really messed up when I did that since I generated the patch against some random CVS snapshot of xine-lib. I did better this time and generated the patch against the latest release of xine-lib (1.0-beta4, released today). If you

Hi, I am an active contributor to the xine multimedia player project: http://xine.sf.net I would like to add FLAC support to xine. I have almost finished a demuxer plugin which will allow xine to take apart a FLAC file (nice format document, BTW) and send packets of coded audio to an audio decoder plugin. I am having trouble with the audio decoder portion. Ideally, I would like to take the

Hi, Sorry for taking so long with this, but I finally committed a first pass of my own VP3 decoder to the ffmpeg codebase. You can browse the source here: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ffmpeg/ffmpeg/libavcodec/ vp3.c and vp3data.h are the files in question. Attached is a message I sent to the ffmpeg-devel list about the new decoder and its present shortcomings.

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

Hi, Can anyone tell me the significant differences between VP30 and VP31 (or are you allowed to)? Are there different token and quantizer tables? Are there algorithmic differences? I have a VP30-encoded file that plays with the VP3 VfW DLL but not with the open source decoder. Thanks... -- -Mike Melanson --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project

Hi, A few questions: Is libtheora strictly backward compatible with VP3? Can I set it up to shove raw VP3 data through and trust it to decode the same way as On2's open source code did, loop filters and all? Also, is libtheora just supposed to be a C-based reference implementation? I was looking through the code and noticed a distinct lack of any kind of optimizations. Naive tree-based

./configure: line 524: syntax error near unexpected token `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(libtheora,0.0)' ./configure: line 524: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(libtheora,0.0)' I'm sure I'm doing something pro-stupid, but --- my setup works fine for ogg & vorbis. autoconf ver 2.13 automake (GNU automake) 1.4-p4 if that matters hey let's put tool version numbers into the README -dan

Hi, Keep up the good work! The file sizes of Theora's output is amazing! I have just joined the list, and would like to contribute to the

Hi, Attached is my patch to add theora encoding to ffmpeg's libavcodec (by using libtheora). I am requesting help to fix the bug I mention below and am seeking general comments before I submit the patch properly. Files encoded using this encoder have a problem playing in VLC. The files will not play unless "Drop late frames" has been unticked in the advanced video settings.

Hello everybody, I'm a new member of this mailing-list. My name is Remi BEAUDOUIN, I'm student in an engeneering school in France (ENSEIRB, Bordeaux), major Data and Image Processing. I'm currently doing my last internship before graduating in Thales Airborne Systems. I'm working on video compression and I have to choose the best way to encode and to embed it on a DSP TMS320DM642

just added to the WIKI: * Ideas with some concensus after discussion on IRC, it was provisionally agreed (by those present at the time) that Theora should support arbitrary pixel sizes (presently it is limited to multiples of 16 both horizontally and vertically). It is felt that this can be achieved with minimal pain by adding four values to the page header, immediately following the present

Hi, The VP3 source code supports various CPU-specific optimized instructions. I see references to MMX and XMM (SSE2). I also see references to WMT. What is WMT?
