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, 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 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, 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

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, Let's play a little game. Forget all you know, or think you know. Without any context at all, what does the following pattern make you think of? <p> X -> X X -> X | ^ v | X <- X X <- X | ^ v | X X -> X X | ^ | ^ v | v | X -> X

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, 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, 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

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.

I'm getting the following dependency problem. Please advise how to resolve. Running 5.5 with latest kernel and all updates. Tried getting this one to update and can't - what am I missing? 18:02:57 : Packages to update 18:02:57 : ---> libcaca-0.99-0.1.beta17.el5.rf.i386 18:02:57 : Preparing for install/remove/update 18:02:57 : --> Preparing for a full update 18:02:57 : -->

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 installed Centos on some machines that need long term support. I'm running up against some simple user convenience issues. How to play MP3? I've been really puzzled today that the addon rpm sites like livna, rpmforge, rpmfusion, epel, don't seem to have something like amarok-mp3 or xine-lib-mp3. What am I missing? It can be done in Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora Linux. In the

When trying to update xine-lib, the following is returned, how did I break it? Please advise. Thanks in advance. Missing Dependency: libxine.so.1 is needed by package xine-0.99.6-1.el5.rf.i386 (installed) Ed Westphal

I uploaded the source tarball and binary releases for win32 and redhat 7. Solaris package should be ready tomorrow. See the news item for all the improvements from 1.0.3: http://flac.sourceforge.net/news.html#20020924 Developers, see the new Doxygen-based API docs: http://flac.sourceforge.net/api/index.html Thanks again to all the contributors and testers.
