similar to: VP3 for xine 1.0-beta4

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, 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.

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, 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, 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, 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, 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:

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:

Hi, I don't know how much of the old VP3 codebase is incorporated into Theora. I wrote ffmpeg's VP3 decoder from scratch but eventually ported in the original VP3 IDCT function. A BSD conflict cropped up that I thought I would pass along. -- -Mike Melanson <p>---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2003 13:06:37 -0700 (PDT) From: Steven M. Schultz

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

[standard disclaimer about my mail format] in ftp.vp3.com/theora user: vp3 pass: vp3dev theora_dbm_5-28.zip this implements a bitstream change; the header now contains a compressed huffman tree rather than the frequency counts (as discussed) pardon my inability to use diff correctly. The change in toplevel.c is trivial (new function names & params) huffman.c is the important one. I

./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, 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?

the files produced by windows compile vs. Linux are indeed significantly different in size (about 140K vs. 160) However I'm not convinced all the default parameters are set the same way in the two example files. This needs to be verified to see if there really is a bug, or can the two versions produce byte-equal output streams? <p> ___ Dan Miller (++,) Founder, On2 Technologies

I am very interested in this thread. I am willing to pitch in and help get the conversion finished. Are there any resources already completed? Have proper Makefiles been created yet? Where do I need to start? Ed Okerson --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to

Hi, So I have almost completed a new VP3 decoder implementation. In the course of doing so, I have encountered something odd about macroblock coding. As a quick overview, VP3 has a notion of fragments (8x8 pixels) and superblocks (32x32 pixels, 4x4 fragments). These apply to each individual plane (e.g., a 64x64 video will have 4 Y superblocks and 1+1 C superblocks, 64 Y fragments

I'm getting the following dependency problem. Please advise how to resolve. Running 5.5 with latest kernel and all updates.

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

I found gstreamer backend > totem to be most unsatisfactory. Hi guys, Could you please share some details on how to get totem-xine running on CentOS? I believe this could be interesting to a number of people on the list, not just me.

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
