Since kcvdphoto was mentioned on the mjpeg home page I thought it would be appropriate to tell you about VCDMeta. VCDMeta is a Perl script which makes creating easy to navigate VCD extremely simple. It takes in a simplified XML documents which simply contains a list of the Videos you want to i

-M0 + the ASM change seems to do the trick. Note: It still stalls without -M0. Must be cygwyn threading implementation or even w2k. BTW: Has anyone else noticed that linux is *much* better at doing more than one thing at a time (ie, multitasking) than windows? IMO Windows/2k can run the GUI OR so

Hi, I would like to provide a translation of my little daughter's baby talk ;-) in subtitles of SVCDs. Is this possible with the current toolset for Linux? (mjpegtools, vcdimager, gimp, etc.) The footage is DV material captured from a camcorder, edited with kino and/or Cinelerra. I would also

Thanks for the replies. I see now where I needed to move the entire quadword in the ASM. Regarding the lockup I will try -M0 today. Just to clarify, I should not use the term "lock-up", it was in a blocked state (CPU idle 100%), which is also attributable to an incorrect threading implementation on

Hi Matto, I haven't had a chance to look at the code so I don't know how wide the H-scaling filter can be. However, if you can do it a Lanczos kernel or windowed sinc at 7 or 9 taps width is generally what is used professionally (resources permitting). V-scalers are usually narrower as video s
