Hi folks,I'm joining this list because I've encountered difficulties with the ogg tools. I'm running Windows, and can't find binaries for liboggz tools, such as oggz-merge.exe Can someone provide oggz-merge.exe? So I use ffmpeg (v19289) for muxing ffmpeg -y -i sync2.ogg -i sync.ogv -vcodec copy -acodec copy sync2.ogv but the framerate fluctuates wildly on playback, and ogginfo

I can't seem to get the hardlinks to work in windows via --link-dest. It just refuses to find the files in the directory and make a hard link. Here's the setup. -I run 2 rsyncs from batch files called sync.bat and sync2.bat. -I'm connected to the server via a mapped network drive, we'll call it 'z'. -I then run the client, on the destination, once to pull the data

I am forwarding to the list a mail that I send to one of the subscribers, related to codecs comparison. Perhaps the material will be helpful to some of you. <p>Regards, <p> ---- Gabriel Bouvigne www.mp3-tech.org personal page: http://gabriel.mp3-tech.org <strong>attached mail follows:</strong><hr noshade> Hello I just looked at your vp3/mp4 comparison. In

a couple points before I look at this too hard: "For VP3, since you can't do a constant quality encode" what? that should not be the case. Could be a QT-specific bug. Theora at any rate is certainly capable of doing constant-quality encode. This probably explains your standard deviation complaint -- VP3 is running a rate control alg, where the other codecs are just shooting for

Hi all, I have to compare the theora codec with MPEG and H264. I was googling and I found that the PSNR is a common used parameter. How can I do this with Theora? Thanks -- Leonardo de Paula Rosa Piga Undergraduate Computer Engineering Student LSC - IC - UNICAMP http://www.students.ic.unicamp.br/~ra033956

Hi all, First of all a big thank you for your work. I would like to know what is (could be) the best (optimal in a psnr and/or subjectivity sense) maximum distance between keyframes or is theora using a good heuristic change scene detection mecanism? Does it really matter to theora as with mpeg4 part2/10? Thank you and keep up the good work -- Josh

Hello, Definitely not any (constructive) comments on the NHW Image codec? According to my tests, it can compare good with reference codecs like x264 intra and WebP. Yes, the codec is still experimental and is optimized for visual (subjective) evaluation, not PSNR.Its main feature is again that it would have a little more neatness/sharpness and a little less precision (residual coding is applied

Hello, Yes, that's right, I had the remark that if I say that the NHW codec would have more neatness/sharpness, this must be also accompanied with objective measure.But the neatness/sharpness measure is quite complex to define, and implement. But at classical visual review step, I would find that the NHW codec would be less blurred (maybe PSNR would like blur?...) with more

Hello, In my last post, I seemed to say that there were no directional wavelet transforms that would give improvement to the NHW codec, but are directional wavelets an active research field today? I have also seen some recent patents on advanced and improved SPIHT, and I am a little surprised that there is no "up-to-date" state-of-the-art wavelet codec.Rududu in April 2008 was the last

Hello, I am still working on very high compression for the NHW Project, but I find the current version good, it has a good neatness of image, which I find visually more pleasant than other codecs that are optimizing for PSNR, SSIM,... Furthermore the NHW Project is still very fast and royalty-free. I dedicated this past year to the NHW Project and I could make very good improvements (like

Hello, I've found some time to get back to the NHW Project.In fact a Xiph forum member told me that even if I will start a new job, he hopes that I will still continue to develop a little the NHW Project, on my spare time.I told him that I would furthermore spend my spare time on the NHW Project if a community around the project could emerge... and he told me that certainly the best way for

Hi List, Just batting a few ideas around here, but would it be possible to include in to the codec, estimation for common video artifacts that occur in the analogue world? For example, anything that's gone through a composite stage will likely have dot-crawl and false colour - if we can recognise this effect in the encoder, we can treat it as a special case. Other artifacts that come to

One thing I have noticed when encoding VCDs is that often videos with complex backgrounds don't compress nearly as well as those with simple ones. Part of the problem is that TV cameras seam to have the focus so that the entire image is clear rather than focusing on the foreground (and blurring the backgrounds). The result is that a good number of bits are wasted trying to perfectly

Hi, I guess this is a good time to start putting together a wish list for a video codec. I see that for audio the compression is around 10X for reasonable quality. I am sure this will start its own thread of conversation. For video you can do 40X fairly easily and the big task is to go to 80X or 100X with reasonable picture quality, say, a peak luma SNR of more than 30 dB. Uncompressed

Hello, I have finally added 2 lower quality settings for the NHW codec: -l1 (-5Ko) and -l2 (-10Ko).I use a quantization of 0.935 and 0.88 (kind of quantization), and I decrease residual coding on the first order wavelet image. I have updated the demo page: http://nhwcodec.blogspot.com/ . These 2 lower quality settings are still experimental.If you could find time, would be interested in any

Hi, After a quick read of the Theora spec, I became curious about the possibility of fast quality reduction of Theora videos. The idea is to decode through the Huffman and reverse prediction steps, and then to truncate the coefficients and reencode. My questions are: * Is this a reasonable way to reduce the quality and bitrate of a stream? Will it be comparable in quality to a complete

Hello! I'm trying to use ffmpeg2theora to encode raw (.yuv) files in I420 format (just frames, no headers at all), but failed to find corresponding input format. Is there any documentation of supported formats for ffmpeg2theora? Or maybe there is another command-line tool for Windows to encode raw video using Theora algorithm? Thank you for help! Alexander.
