theora - Jan 2008 - Encode a normal stream in to black & white video

Hi,
       Can we encode a normal stream in to black & white video using
exsisting encoder_example in theora_beta2.

        Is it required to change encoder_example  file  to  do that?  So
please guide to do that.



Thanks...

Yes.

If the input is encoded as 4:2:0 YUV4MPEG2 (black and white would use
the Y plane and both U and V would be blank) then no modification is
needed.  If you want to feed the video as a single (Y) plane (or any
format other than YUV4MPEG2), you'll need to modify encoder_example to
parse the new format.
