FWIW, I wrote a lossless codec that is extremely cheap for encoding (decoding is still slower than I like). http://scanline.ca/compression/ It's kinda like huffyuv, which I think is supported in ffmpeg now. -Billy -- video4linux-list mailing list Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list
