Hello everyone, I'm currently developing an adaptive videoconferencing application based on Ekiga which uses TFRC as a congestion control mechanism to adapt the video encoding rate according to the quality of the network experienced. My goal was to use the open-source Theora codec for video transmission. Unfortunately, it seemed that Theora 1.0 did not properly implement any correct CBR mode.

Hi I'm evaluating Theora for a video communication system and would like some info as to what the following struct members (from the theora_info structure) do and what values one should pass to them: If there is some documentation somewhere that I've missed, please direct me to it. ===== Extract from theora.h ===== int quality; int quick_p; /* quick encode/decode */

Hi everybody, me again. I'm trying to write my own VFW-like dll... It doesn't need to do much. 1.) compress a single frame and give it back to the host application 2.) host applications sends the frame 3.) client application receives frame 4.) client application tells the dll to decompress the data So if I try to do this, something is going wrong... Perhaps someone could have a look at my

I am trying to write a sample app that uses Theora for encoding/decoding a network video stream. Unfortunately, I keep running into this error: Run-Time Check Failure #3 - The variable 'MVect' is being used without being defined. It always happens on decryption, line 467 in decode.c. The issue is that CodingMethod is equal to 5 (CODE_GOLDENFRAME), which doesn't initialize the

Hi all. I post a small app I made that create 2 clips using a V4L device. I would like to get every tips you think it's useful... Some notes: - I make 2 clips because in our project we create series of clips and it's important to check that the all the resources ( memory, descriptors, etc. ) are freed correctly and to reuse all the resources that can be reused - the clips are not well

Hi all. In my test application I saw that the encoding process with Theora is too CPU expensive ( compared to FFmpeg - MP4 ) ... Perhaps I'm using wrong parameters: ti.fps_numerator = fps * 11 + 1; // var framerate ti.fps_denominator = 11; ti.aspect_numerator = 1; ti.aspect_denominator = 1; ti.colorspace = OC_CS_ITU_REC_470BG; //

Hi all. I would really like to use Theora for the commercial product I work on... It's a Linux based DVR. Actually we use ffmpeg to produce MPeg4 short clips from 4 BNC channels in CIF resolution. I made a small module for our project that uses Theora... but I see that it gets a lot of CPU :( So I'm here to ask for any kind tips to reduce the CPU usage. - Hardware... do you think there

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:

Hi There, i want to stream some pictures out of my application using the Theora codec. I can stream to a socket or a file. The current work based on the png2theora example. Something while enconding went wrong: I can see the whole video in VLC, but the complete duration of the file will not be displayed. If i play the video in Firefox, the first 2 seconds will not be played. I think the

Hi, the attached patch (against current SVN) adds three new options to ffmpeg2theora: --keyint (set keyframe interval) --smoothness (set the theora_info::sharpness encoding parameter) and --noautosync (disable the new frame dropping/duplicating code). It also fixes a bug with the processing of --cropright that sometimes segfaulted. The sync adjustment code is now tuned to be more reliable. BTW

Hi! Some background: I am trying to create an application that would encode video taken by USB camera using Theora and then send it to the client. I have almost succeeded, but I have one problem. When I grab video frames from the camera and encode them they form 4KB OGG pages, then I send them over TCP/IP to the client application. Since I want to achieve as small latency as possible I

Hi all. I'm Mat & I'm new :) I'm testing libtheora + libogg perhaps for a commercial product. I started watching encoder_example.c ... I simplified it for testing it easier. It seems ok to me but I have no experience with theora so I would like to know if my code is correct. I tried to debug it with Valgrind and I found 4 possible memory leaks... but I think they can be

Hi, Ralph recently checked in a version of theora/tests/noop.c that uses the new API. Part of the reason for this test is to check for memory leaks in the library's constructors and destructors. You can run the test suite under valgrind by configuring with --enable-valgrind-testing. The test passes, but gives output like: make[1]: Entering directory

For last few days I was trying to learn ffmpeg and libtheora API. In the process, I have modified ffmpeg2theora code to include support for start time and end time. ffmpeg2theora -s 60 -e 130 file.avi will produce file.ogg which will be from 60th to 130th second of input file (something like -ss and -endpos in mencoder). This is a useful feature for someone who wants to cut a part of video

Hello. I'm trying to encode an Ogg Theora file from an unencrypted dvd using mplayer and encoder_example. I set up named pipes stream.wav and stream.yuv. I then run: mplayer -ao pcm -aofile stream.wav -vo null /dev/dvd & mplayer -vo yuv4mpeg -ao null -nosound /dev/dvd & encoder_example -v1 -a 1 stream.wav stream.yuv > lec1.ogg but I get the following error: File stream.wav is

Hello, I'm not sure if this list is the proper place for this post; please correct me if it is not. I am attempting to use libtheora and I have been looking through the examples in the distribution Excerpt from encoder_example.c -- case 'V': video_r=rint(atof(optarg)*1000); if(video_r<45000 || video_r>2000000) { fprintf(stderr,"Illegal

Hi Is there a way to estimate the number of bytes per second from the information passed in the th_info-struct to the Theora encoder's th_encode_alloc()? I'm trying to be able to give users a rough estimate of the file size needed to encode with the setting provided to th_info-struct (frame width/height, fps_numerator/fps_denominator, target_bitrate and quality). -- Bjoern

I'd previously been working on the assumption that the frame_height was the height of the inner picture region... and height was the height of the outer frame. Then upon readnig the spec... where it calls the outer part the frame and the inner part the picture region... i assumed i'd made a mistake and that frame_width is actually >= width in the theorainfo structure... ie

Hey Folks. I'm currently working on implementing Theora Video playback for the Unity engine (http://www.unity3d.com). So far everything works fine, But I have a small question: Is there a reliable way to predict what bitrate a stream will have when encoding or decoding? Of course, there's the target_bitrate parameter in the Theora Info structure, but somehow, I always get quite

Hello, I've built my own source for ICE/SHOUTcast, and it works pretty well except for one thing. After tuning into the server and listening for an 60-90 minutes you may hear a song skip ahead 30-90 seconds. I think I know why this is happening but I'mnot sure how to fix it. I think this is happening because my source is sending a little bit too much data to ICE/SHOUTcast. My formula
