Quoting august <aug...@alien.mur.at>:
I don't know gavl, but it if it is close to as good as vlc/mplayer/ ffmpeg for reading codecs, it would be an improvement over Quicktime.
you mean "QuickTime" or "libquicktime" (4linux)?as a matter of fact, the author of gavl/gmerlin is also the author of libquicktime (after the fork from heroinewarrior)
it is very close to vlc/mplayer/ffmpeg. in fact, it might even read more formats depending on what options you compile in.gavl is already in macports so making a fink package should be easy, then it could be part of the nightly builds. What about using ffmpeg for something like readanysf~? Its much more widely deployed, its even on Windows.
gavl/gmerlin is designed as a stable API that uses a number of available backends.
writing code for ffmpeg is a nightmare. the API changes every week.writing code for gavl/gmerlin is simple. the ffmpeg-nightmare is delegated to a single-point: gavl.
Another option is to check in a version of gavl and the related packages to the pure-data SVN and have it build the library then build readanysf~. Since gavl/gmerlin is not fully packaged on any platform, I think this makes sense.yes, and AFAIK the gavl package in debian is already over a year old and is not compatible with readanysf~.
i hope that gavl/gmerlin will be included in (more) distros soon fgsdmr IOhannes ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
