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

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

Figures. I knew I should've just pasted my code: .. while (ret != -1 && speex_bits_remaining(&bits) > 0); I am using a newer version of Speex, so I guess the terminator is a relatively new thing. I'm not even sure if it's necessary, but I think Jean-Marc recommended using it back when I asked this question awhile ago..? Anyway, glad it's working for you. Tom

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

David, Here's the trick ... do this just before your speex_bits_write(): speex_bits_insert_terminator(&bits); Then, when decoding, keep calling speex_decode() until it returns -1 or speex_bits_remaining(&bits) returns 0. Works for me, anyway. Tom David Barrett (dbarrett@quinthar.com) wrote: > > Hi, I'm using Speex and I want to pack multiple frames into a single >

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, 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

Jan, Here's a hacky patch to add a few commandline options for setting comment header fields in ffmpeg2theora. It's a bit big because I virtualized the global info struct in theorautils.c. In retrospect that probably wasn't necessary, but I think it's cleaner anyway. I didn't test it because I couldn't compile ffmpeg2theora, but modulo bugs it should support

(Cross posted to speex-dev from iglance) Enzo -- I haven't tried the fixed point engine, though I've considered it for the WinCE port. For the desktop/laptop edition I'm assuming the slight short->float conversion cost will be made up by the improved performance of the floating point implementation. But I could be wrong: 1) Can anyone recommend whether Speex performs better

I am using the directshow Theora encoder to compress a live video stream. A dump of the encoder settings is given below. The starred settings have been explicitly configured and the others are defaulted or derived values. These settings produce an even, dark (almost black) recorded result as does any recording with Keyframe Freq <= 32. Keyframe Freq >32 works perfectly. The incoming

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 */

Monty, Derf and I were discussing some theora bitstream improvements. He was curious about the spare bits in the keyframe header. There's a keyframe type bit which is always DCT_KEY_FRAME aka '0' and two spare bits. You took out a lot of similar extra bits in the VP3 code. Do you remember anything about the motivation for leaving this one in? Given the constant, were there plans

I've got my encoder working now... and i put a proeprty page interface to allow the user to set a few encoding paramters to start off with... but changing the paramters doesn't seem to make barely any difference... These are the defaults i'm using... mTheoraInfo.target_bitrate=400000; mTheoraInfo.quality=30; mTheoraInfo.dropframes_p=0; mTheoraInfo.quick_p=1;

Hi all, Attached is a trivial patch that speeds up encoding for key frame only streams. It skips the motion vector search which is not needed when there are never going to be any delta frames. It was made against thusnelda SVN revision 14589. Tested on Fedora 8 x64_64. -Phil -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed... Name:

Hello everybody ! I am working on a php class to enable, on the server-side, to extract useful data from Ogg theora videos. http://opensource.grisambre.net/ogg . I need to have it extract a thumbnail picture from a video (much like dailymotion or youtube). Right now, I am doing it using the ffmpeg-php extension (for picture extraction only), but the problem is that this module is available on

Hello, I recently decided to develop a client-server visio-conference app for windows using libtheora for network communication. But I have a problem initialising the theora encoder : theora_encode_init() returns -23 and I would like to know what it means all I could find in the doc is that it should return 0 in case of success. I understand my call to theora_encode_init() failed, but i'd

Here is a fix that prevents the encoder from spending too many bits on keyframes. The main problem is that the old code computes the target keyframe bitrate incorrectly. This causes the code that computes the Q for the frame to think that it has tons of bits to spend. It selects a high Q value for the keyframe. Since so many bits were spend on the keyframe the the inter-frames have to use a much
