[Bug 663535] Re: Extreme poor Video Quality in Empathy (jabber)
Easiest/Best fix seems to me to update the x264 package to the latest revision from the x264 stable branch Olivier from upstream also said the latest snapshot should be taken: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633809#c10 He probably also implied from stable branch. If it really has been fixed in the stable branch of libx264, given that it alone would need to be upgraded (no other dependencies), is this the proposed solution then? If so, can we start moving in that direction? Are we there yet? P.S. The latest revision from stable branch of libx264 as of now is: 0.114.1907 429af21 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/663535 Title: Extreme poor Video Quality in Empathy (jabber) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Our options are: A) Fix libx264 : http://git.videolan.org/?p=x264.git;a=commitdiff;h=3d0d9cda1d39239e9f388fe1fce29c9212d0273c and http://git.videolan.org/?p=x264.git;a=commitdiff;h=5f104e9957cc4b69f7197fecf93648a0e2ae0e59 Since when these 2 patches were ported they resulted in a serious issue, and were then reverted, are we still certain that this issue is fixed in latest stable x264? Perhaps we should first at least estimate which commits after the 2 above have really fixed the issue, and then upgrade...

The problem is that they change internal structures that require recompilation of *all* users of x264. This is a no-go for a stable release update.
