I'm all for it, assuming we can keep the current level of abstraction and not clutter the public APIs with intricate details of the movie codecs. For example, we already have the concept of "subimages" -- many of the formats can handle more than one image per file. Do you think it would be sufficient to just use this concept, that is, make a the frames of a movie file simply appear to be the different subimages? I think it could all be made to work. Let's pick one format and write a reader for it, and see how far we get. -- Larry Gritz [email protected] _______________________________________________ Oiio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openimageio.org/listinfo.cgi/oiio-dev-openimageio.org
