Hi everyone,
While 1.1.0 is progressing slowly but steadly, I'm also restarting to work
on HEAD, thanks to some extra time kindly provided by Magic & Miracles dept. ;)
The plan, which hopefully will lead to 1.2.0 in reasonnable time, is
roughly the following:
1. complete the port to existing export modules to NMS
2. disable export layer by default, then remove it if noone complains
(too loudly) for some time.
3. add some new modules (full-featured xiph first stack due to
real-life requests. mkv and mp4 are planned as well):
- theora/vorbis/schroedinger/speex/flac encoders.
- ogg multiplexor.
4. power up import_ffmpeg (this will boost transcode's import
capabilities _without_ mplayer :))
- use libavformat as demuxer
- add support for audio
5. Start to plan next Module System revision
- configure() operation is messy.
- we would like to have open()/close() operations.
6. Start to plan next core changes (my pet peeve: drop the memcpy count)
7. Continue to port more filters to NMS, and outline the requisites
for new filter layer
Well, point 2 is pretty straightforward, points 1 & 4 is ongoing, for
points 5,6,7 I'm already collecting some thoughts, point 3
is scheduled after 1 is completed.
So, I'd like to summarize the status of NMS porting of export modules.
Let's see what we have in 1.1.0:
old module new module done? Notes
