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

Good day! I'm creating HDL IP CORE (for using in FPGA) for theora encoder (now only I-frames). I don't undestand one moment. Now i develop such stages: 1. From RBG(byer) to YCbCr converter 2. DCT processing (8x8 pixels blocks) 3. Quantizator of DCT coeff. 4. Zig-Zag of quantized DCT coeff. and now i have uresolved last stage of compression - how i must send 8x8 blocks to huffman

./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, There seem to be 2 sets of block coding patterns in the VP3x/Theora algorithm. Based on the comments in the code, the first pattern is used if encoder version < 6 and the second pattern is used in encoder version >= 6. None of the code to support the second pattern is ever called. Is there an encoder with a version >= 6? The code in question is

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:

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, 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, 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, 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:

Hi, Here is something that confused me greatly at first. In Huffman.h, the comment "35" sits above the definition of MAX_ENTROPY_TOKENS: // 35 #define MAX_ENTROPY_TOKENS (DCT_RUN_CATEGORY2 + 2) Yet, if you do math from all the preceding #defines (not easy given that each in a long chain of #defines is defined in terms of the previous #define), there are actually 32 tokens.

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, 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

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

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

Hello, I am a student who wants to study the VP3 encoding/decoding process in detail. I downloaded the source code from your site. I was wondering if there is any supporting document which provides details of the entire process - a complete VP3 standards document to aid in the understanding of the code. Any information will be welcome. Thanks Regards, Navneet --- >8 ---- List archives:

Good day! I create diagram of encoder process. Using it i create implementation of encoder in FPGA (Xilinx/Altera). Please critique it. Is there missing stages? Here is blog http://developer-fpga.blogspot.com/ Here is picture of encoding stage 1 https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-NV8o9DG3jvE/TYjYXr-dYGI/AAAAAAAAAos/U06O-YvhSI0/s1600/stage1.jpg Here is picture of encoding stage 2

[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
