Re: [osg-users] Quicktime and movie size
Hi all, Do you know if it's possible to deinterlace a movie on the fly with the QuickTime plugin ? Is there any codec supporting this feature ? Thanks !

Thank you Stephan, we've confirmed with our customer that it's a codec problem and not in our side, so it's OK. As a side note, the QuickTime plugin is really working like a charm compared to the other solutions like FFmpeg, it's a real pleasure.

DVCPro is convenient for editing movies/ capturing from video-cameras. I'd use Foto JPEG or MP4 for OSG. Safari shows the same error: if you open the movie with it, it will display at 1920x1080, so it's not isolated to the quicktime-plugin. cheers, Stephan ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org -- Serge Lages http://www.tharsis-software.com ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
