Hi, thanks for this contribute I've a concern and an observation regard this code. The corcern regards the ulaw_decode table in extract_ulaw.h: is this a rip from libquicktime sources? I'm wondering about (theorical?) copyright issues, transcode has plenty of those in past days and I never liked them. The observation is technical, I think that, given the code, ulaw support can be merged in existing avi/raw inport module, there is no need for a separate one. > Is it possible to create decoders with the nms already? Just > wondering because there don't seem to be any. yes it is possible with a few hacks. Some new import modules (x11, alsa, pv3, vag) are already internally designed for nms with a (thick?) wrapper code around to fit in oms.
