Don't hold your breath, 1.1.0 will go alpha hopefully in time for christmas (06 of course!), 1.2.0 with new export layer will take some more months at present development rate. :| > > I have only one strong objection: add more profiles like the existing > > ones in export_ffmpeg (hardcoded into export module(s)) should be seen > > as *very* *last* *resort* and I'll never enthusiast nor just happy doing > > so. > > Unfortunately that's the way that I was thinking. :-) As a normal > transcode user, it'd be challenge enough for me to understand the > structure of the code and to follow it. To be honest, understanding old code can be pretty hard as write new one. export_ffmpeg is a fairly big (59KB size, 1691 lines long) beast, and it's sometime messy. Anyway, I've no intention to force you or someone else on this direction :) If someone would like to give a try, just drop me a note :) > Quick hack solution is the only > thing I could do now, let alone an envision to re-write almost entirely > the export layer. Just rewrite a few modules, or just one (encode_ffmpeg in that case), would be a big help. (again, I'm not asking you to do so, unless of course you're already interested. It's just a reminder for anyone out there interested in hacking transcode ;) ) Status of new modules is reported (in a fairly regular fashion) here: http://fromani.exit1.org/ > I'll cheer for you as you pursue your ambitious goal. :-) Thanks :) Best regards, -- Francesco Romani - Ikitt ['people always complain, no matther what you do'] IM contact : (email first, Antispam default deny!) icq://27-83-87-867 known bugs : http://www.transcoding.org/cgi-bin/transcode?Bug_Showcase tiny homepage : http://fromani.exit1.org (see IDEAS if you want send code!)
