AVI sux. MCF and UCI are the answers ( IMHO ). I really hope we can find anybody else as a volunteer to implement a UCI interface into FLAC once Alex Stewart is about to fix the specs and has a stable libuci running to allow testing of the codec interface against it. Steve is 'MCF chief engineer' ( ;-) and the backbone of MCF, and we are all anxiously waiting on him to freeze and document MCF-1 specs and update libmcf then. We have first alpha test files with MP2/3/PCM audio and uncompressed RGB video in them, and first dshow and JMF based MCF parsers for them. At the same time i am trying to motivate Cyrius to start looking into using UCI codecs from Virtualdub ( as alternative to VfW/ACM ), so that movies with VBR audio codecs like MPC ( musepack ), Lame VBR, Vorbis, etc. can be packed in a suitable container ( preferably MCF, maybe even OGG/OGM ). Of course, we have to wait patiently for Alex Stewart to release UCI/libuci as alphas before we really can start working on that. For FLAC alone MCF could offer some nice features same as for MPC, like having a complete album in one file ( tracks accessible via chapters or menue ), album covers or lyrics attached in the file, mode 2 form 2 CDs with header protection for 800 MB/80 mins, multi segmented files with internal MD 5 ID ( nice for p2p ), etc. ... Reminds me that i wanted to drop an email to this list to ask if you are ok that we add FLAC as possible audio compression format to mf's S-DVD specs, the openstandard next generation HDTV DVD standard, based on MCF/Theora/Tarkin/Vorbis and blue laser DVDs .... :-) ..... as you can see, we are a small team but we are not lacking of visions at all ..... lol ..... ;-) Christian Sites : http://mcf.sourceforge.net http://sf.net/projects/mcf http://uci.sourceforge.net MCF mailing lists : news://news.gmane.org gmane.comp.video.mcf.general gmane.comp.video.mcf.devel gmane.comp.video.mcf.mplayer gmane.comp.video.mcf.announce gmane.comp.video.mcf.mpc gmane.comp.video.uci.devel Soon : www.corecodec.com ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Influence the future of Java(TM) technology.
