Quoting august <[email protected]>:
I don't know gavl, but it if it is close to as good as vlc/mplayer/
ffmpeg for reading codecs, it would be an improvement over
Quicktime.
you mean "QuickTime" or "libquicktime" (4linux)?
as a matter of fact, the author of gavl/gmerlin is also the author
of libquicktime (after the fork from heroinewarrior)
I mean Apple Quicktime. VLC and mplayer are already much better for
playing movies than Quicktime on Mac OS X so it would be nice if Gem
on Mac OS X took advantage of that.
it is very close to vlc/mplayer/ffmpeg. in fact, it might even read
more formats depending on what options you compile in.
gavl is already in macports so making a fink package should be easy,
then it could be part of the nightly builds.
What about using ffmpeg for something like readanysf~? Its much
more
widely deployed, its even on Windows.
gavl/gmerlin is designed as a stable API that uses a number of
available backends.
writing code for ffmpeg is a nightmare. the API changes every week.
writing code for gavl/gmerlin is simple. the ffmpeg-nightmare is
delegated to a single-point: gavl.
Ah ok, alles klar, makes sense.
Another option is to check in a version of gavl and the related
packages to the pure-data SVN and have it build the library then
build
readanysf~. Since gavl/gmerlin is not fully packaged on any
platform,
I think this makes sense.
yes, and AFAIK the gavl package in debian is already over a year
old and
is not compatible with readanysf~.
i hope that gavl/gmerlin will be included in (more) distros soon
In the meantime, I think it would be worth it to have gavl/gmerlin
build out of the pure-data SVN. Then we can remove it once its widely
packaged.
