Original commit message from CVS:
This is a first attempt at a wrapper for the lib'ified mpeg2enc of
mjpegtools. Currently, there's a few release candidates for mjpegtools-1.6.2
available, but no stable version yet.
I've made 4 small subclasses to wrap input, output, options and generic
encoding model. The last .cc file is the GStreamer plugin element.
Note that it doesn't actually work yet, I'm doing something wrong with
header parsing and Andrew asked me to commit so he could help debugging
that. Apart from that, we should soon be able to make top-quality MPEG
encodes! :).
mpeg2enc licensing is tricky, btw, I don't even want to start discussing
that...
Original commit message from CVS:
rework id3tag plugin to work as
a) parser - just strip id3 tags
b) tag reader - extract tags and go EOS
c) tag writer - change id3 tags
Included is some revamping to ease code to make it possible to strip id3tag from its mad dependency (without ID3v2 support), which would still make the parsing bits work. This is however not done yet.
This plugin supercedes the id3types plugin.
Original commit message from CVS:
Adding a new plugin: switch.
It takes N input and only has 1 output. You can "switch" the forwarded input through properties ("nb_sources", "active_source") and i will probably add tuner interface support soon.
It should be able to handle any kind of data passing through it.
It is still a work in progress don't consider it usable for production yet.
Original commit message from CVS:
Riff, EBML, fourcc etc. work. Not fully finished, but better than
what we used to have and definately worth a first broad testing.
I've revived rifflib. Rifflib used to be a bytestream-for-riff, which
just dup'ed bytestream. I've rewritten rifflib to be a modern riff-
chunk parser that uses bytestream fully, plus adds some extra functions
so that riff file parsing becomes extremely easy. It also contains some
small usability functions for strh/strf and metadata parsing. Note that
it doesn't use the new tagging yet, that's a TODO.
Avidemux has been rewritten to use this. I think we all agreed that
avidemux was pretty much a big mess, which is because it used all
sort of bytestream magic all around the place. It was just ugly.
This is a lot nicer, very complete and safe. I think this is far more
robust than what the old avidemux could ever have been. Of course, it
might contain bugs, please let me know.
EBML writing has also been implemented. This is useful for matroska.
I'm intending to modify avidemux (with a riffwriter) similarly. Maybe
I'll change wavparse/-enc too to use rifflib.
Lastly, several plugins have been modified to use rifflib's fourcc
parsing instead of their own. this puts fourcc parsing in one central
place, which should make it a lot simpler to add new fourccs. We might
want to move this to its own lib instead of rifflib.
Enjoy!
Original commit message from CVS:
Fix v4l detection (it requires X, but X is detected after v4l, so this needed to be swapped). Also add X requirement to v4l2
Original commit message from CVS:
tagging stuff and build fixes. In detail:
- make gdk-pixbuf loader work when distchecking
- fix invalid syntax in ffmpeg Makefile. wildcards for EXTRA_DIST are not allowed. This broke builds where distdir != srcdir
- fix ffmpeg cvs grabbing when srcdir != distdir
- new id3tag plugin for id3 tag reading/writing (uses mad's libid3tag)
- mad and libid3tag require mad/libid3tag v0.15. Fixed configure to require that
- added ogg demuxer in ext/ogg. The demuxer does not handle events yet. Especially getting seeking right will require some effort or code copying from libvorbis.
- added raw vorbis detection to typefinding. oggdemux requires a typefind function to detect its contents.
- tags plugin in gst/tags. Provides API in <gst/tags/gsttagediting.h>. API includes tag matching GStreamer <=> ID3 and GStreamer <=> vorbis and writing/reading vorbiscomments or ID3v1 tags. Also included is a simple vorbiscomment reader/writer. Writing will not really work though until someone writes oggmux.
- various build fixes. Mostly missing (DIST)CLEANFILES.
- vorbisenc handles tag writing.
Now it's YOUR turn to fix and write more plugins that handle writing/reading of tags. :)
