I'm very interested to see cinelerra in a ppc64, if some thing goes wrong in the compilation (probably something will go wrong, like in ppc sometime ago) I'd like to help. We are starting a free uhf tv, and i'm trying to convince a friend that has a g5 to install linux on it ;) may be we can help libdv people to get some altivec optimization in the code! - libdv has no altivec optimization code in it... - lets assembly! bye, rafael diniz
libdv is a dead end I'm afraid: I think the project's been abandoned. I've been trying to play around with cinelerra on a G4, and while I'm reasonably impressed by the overall performance, I can't do anything with standard dv because of the infamous purple/green problem with libdv. However, ffmpeg's dv codec works fine on ppc and is a better codec according to various posts I've found (I can look those up if you want proof). My question: how could I get cinelerra to use the ffmpeg codec instead of libdv? Seems like this could help non-altivec users as well if the codec is of better quality. I know when I asked this question before, the fact that libquicktime has a plugin for ffmpeg was mentioned. Unfortunately I had exams to worry about at the time so there wasn't much I could do. Now that those are over, I'd like to know if anyone has suggestions for getting cinelerra to use ffmpeg's dv codec. I haven't coded in C in a while, but I'm willing to give it a shot. thanks, _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
