Attached a new set of patches to http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=9281 (suffixed with '_updated'), which REPLACE the first three patches.

libtheora has been updated to version 1.1beta2, allowing for 4:4:4 subsampling (i.e. no subsampling), resulting in higher quality (and, of course, larger size). The Subsampling property of vtkOggTheoraWriter and vtkSMAnimationSceneImageWriter controls whether 4:2:0 or 4:4:4 mode is used. 4:2:2 is not implemented. However, this property is not exposed through the GUI so far. 4:4:4 has been chosen as the default.

One problem could be that old video players do not support the default 4:4:4 subsampling. I did see problems with mplayer on OpenSUSE 10.3, where the chroma planes where simply offset and scaled, resulting in quite psychedelic effects. So we probably want that Subsampling property to be exposed in the GUI (or default back to 4:2:0, but that results in color bleeding).

Cheers

Thanks, I did a fresh checkout and applied the patches.
Compiles fine, the colors are finally OK.
Do note, the fourth patch still fails.
Let me know when it is in the CVS without pathes so I can test it out.
Good move!
best regards,
Dominik

Of course you still need the patches. The following command should update a (patched) CVS checkout, hopefully without any conflicts
cvs update -dARP

PS: explanation of the -dARP:
-d: also create directories that have been created remotely
-A: reset sticky tags
-R: update recursively
-P: Remove empty directories
CVS is a very strange thing...

Wondrous what a cvs update can do:

Dominik, can you confirm this?

Yep, looks like the YUV planes are shifted, or something. But the first frame is fine. Very strange. Stupid thing is, I can't compile a 64-bit version on my Mac, because the Qt- Carbon libraries are only ppc/i386.

I used variable c3 for the movie.

Ugh, gross. Would it be possible for you send me the data so I can use it for testing?

Hmmm, will have to try myself then.
On OS X 10.5 it works fine. See

OK I managed to compile.
The movie is distorted (false colors).
I get a message like "disabling offscreen rendering because empty image was detected" or so.
