Francesco, Andrew:
Attached is a patch to add filter_nextsub.
Looks nice at first glance. Deeper review later. :)
It creates two new files, extsub/filter_nextsub.c and extsub/nextsub.h. It
highjacked the filter_extsub2 Makefile entries for building. This is a
re-work of the existing filter_extsub code, cleaning it up, and (my first
attempt at) getting it into NMS format, (and somewhat style compliant, still
missing function headers). The new functionality is described (fairly
adequately I think) in the help string.
Indeed. I'd like, as yait, to include it into 1.1.0, but not replacing
existing extsub.
extsub* will be still present for backward compatibility, maybe deprecated.
I would have distributed this earlier, but I had a problem running it on
amd64. I'm convinced now that the problem is not mine. It is dying
somewhere in tcv_convert() at an sse2 optimization. I'm screwed because I
can't build 32-bit variants for all the support libraries required by
transcode. So, no 32-bit transcode, and no subtitling for me on amd64.
Maybe I can replicate this issue, so we have another bug (I'd file of course
a bug on our bug tracker
if is it the case).
Still more threading problems as well. Running an identical process can
produce different results, given exactly the same input data! It must be
some kind of race condition. I am a gentoo nptl only system (glibc 2.4),
and have no downgrade option available to glibc 2.3 (old linuxthreads).
So, I'm just going to have to wait for your threading changes. Any time
estimate on that? Within 6 months?
I'll open a thread shortly for reporting the state of progress. I have plans
and some ideas for nearly all this stuff (this NOT means, of course, that
they are good ideas; but there is some chances at less :P), the problem is
time, bot in development time and in time required to release 1.1.0.
pps: I'm also looking into another interesting problem, an inverse 5:6
pulldown telecine filter. Yes, they mangle PAL dvd's to NTSC for
distribution here in North America.
Very nice work. Keep on! :)
