In floating point, all you have to do is flip a sign bit. But with integers, it's not so easy. There is no instruction for absolute value in MMX, you have to use a four instruction sequence and two registers. Slower than squaring a value, which only takes two instructions. I finally

Gert, Robert, Thanks very much for the LPCM feedback. It is *extremely* interesting to get real feedback on some of these fiddly issues. Just a quick question: are the noise problems Robert had with a hardware player or software? If hardware, this would indicate there is a 'funny'

Hello. How do y4mscaler and yuvscaler compare when scaling a video stream for MPEG2 encoding for SVCD, in terms of speed and image quality? Regards. Romildo -- Prof. José Romildo Malaquias[EMAIL PROTECTED] Departamento de Computação [EMAIL PROTECTED] Univ. Federal de Ouro Preto

I was using the software player xine. I will have an opportunity to test with hardware in the near future. I am building up to authoring my first DVD. I've done a lot of SVCD's but recently acquired a DVD writer. When I get my first DVD authored to my statisfaction, I'll try both with and

Okay, since I didn't have my original material anymore and re-encoding the VCD is not really an option, I used a sledgehammer solution. I created an a couple of frames long, black video sequence and put it at the beginning of each video file. mplex then recognizes it as video stream and although

I'm not sure if this is the proper channel to ask about the mencvcd script, so let me know in whatever appropriate manner ;-) Anyhow, I have a DivX file which I encoded to SVCD, the picture quality was great but the sound was waay off, and I suspect it is because of my use of incorrect
