Hi, I was looking in using xine-lib to support other video formats and codecs, but after a while I had to come to the conclusion that this is not yet possible. I hat som e-mail exchange with Guenter and it seems, that this is something xine-lib might be targeting for after they have the 1.0 version out.
No I will have to try either ffmpeg again, or maybe look at mjpegtools. mjpegtools look like a huge set of standalone tools, which is not optimal for what I want to do. I am not sure if there is some central library I could use, but I don't like the idea of calling external binaries and pipe the video data around. I have the feeling, that I will end up at the same point like with xine, namely that mjpegtools cannot easyly provide random access to the mpeg frames. -- Cheers, Rolf *************************************************************** Rolf Dubitzky e-mail: Rolf.Dubitzky at Physik.TU-Dresden.de s-mail see http://hep.phy.tu-dresden.de/~dubitzky/ ***************************************************************
