Re: [9fans] hints on new decoders for video

2008-12-09 Thread Skip Tavakkolian
i recently needed an mpeg4-wmv live transcoder and looked at FFmpeg
briefly.

because of wmv and ASF container requirements, i ended up writing one
that uses directshow filtergraphs (obviously on windows).

[9fans] troff, refer, and diversions

2008-12-09 Thread Gregory Pavelcak
I've been writing a paper using -ms macros and refer and refer seems
to work as advertised. Recently I decided I wanted to get references in
endnotes instead of footnotes, so I added some very simple macros,
like FS/FE, around a diversion, thus:

.de XS
.ev2
.da XA
.br
..
.de XE
.br
.di
.ev
..

Aside from defining some number registers, the footnote macros
FJ and FK really don't seem to have much more to them than XS/XE,
and the XS/XE pair work as expected when I use them in the text.
However, when I replaced the FS/FE pairing under [2 in tmac.srefs,
the references are output in the text where I had the tags for refer
instead of being put into the diversion. I messed around with
variations on the macros much of the day and can't figure out what
I'm doing wrong. I can't see why FS and FE will work in the sref
macros, but XS/XE won't!

Thanks and Happy Holidays. I can't believe it's almost Christmas
again!

to read mail, it would be 

upas/fs -f /imaps/imap.gmal.com/$gmailuser

you send mail, you want to modify the last line of /mail/lib/remotemail
to be something like

exec /bin/upas/smtp -sa -u $gmailuser -h $fd tcp!smtp.gmail.com!smtp 
$sender $*

i'm guessing that you'll need tls (-s) and authentication (-a).
you'll need to arrange that the factotum smtp sees running from cron
has the right keys to authenticate to gmail's smtpd.

>  tools so we can fix them.

In order to get the information that I used to
write aux/vmware, I signed an NDA that prohibits
me from releasing the source code, regardless
of what VMware has done in the interim.  At the
time, that was the only way to get the information.

That said, the mechanism for backdoor calls into
VMware has completely changed at least twice
since I wrote aux/vmware, which is why it no longer
works very well.  It's no loss to start from scratch.
If I thought the program was still useful today, I might
try to get permission to release it.  But it's just not
useful anymore in any real sense.

Also, the program is pretty small:

vx32% wc *.[chs] mkfile
 84 2061683 all.h
 27  49 289 asmbackdoor.s
 34  83 539 backdoor.c
 16  33 217 calls.c
6421303   10148 fs.c
176 3262224 inout.c
 33  46 392 isvmware.c
 10  13  98 mousepoll.c
224 5513677 msgchan.c
 44  69 554 vmmousepoll.c
 12  11 177 mkfile
   13022690   19998 total
vx32%

I have attached fs.c, which is quite generic
and has no VMware-specific goo.  Maybe
someone will be motivated to fill in the rest
using the latest and greatest VMware API
instead of one from seven and a half years ago.
Or maybe Uriel will just keep whining.
