Hi folks, please allow me to raise the subject again. Anybody had the time to check http://uci.sf.net yet ? The MCF team meanwhile has decided to use UCI as the only codec interface to libmcf, at least for native MCF streams. There was also interest from the XviD team to use UCI, at least in addition to the currently existing VfW interface. A mplayer wrapper for UCI seems feasible and the OpenBeOS mediakit people show big interest to make UCI the new codec API for their opensource implementation of BeOS. Good input to UCI came from gstreamer people, especially Erik Walthinsen, its founder, and Thomas van der Stichelen. Could you consider to add a UCI interface to your codec ? IMHO we have a good chance to get some level of standardization in the opensource media world, we shouldnt miss it.
