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:
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. :)
Original commit message from CVS:
New typefind system:
* bytestream is now part of the core
* all plugins have been modified to use this new typefind system
* asf typefinding added
* mpeg video stream typefiding removed because it's broken
* duplicate typefind entries removed
* extra id3 typefinding added, because we've seen 4 types of files
(riff/wav, flac, vorbis, mp3) with id3 headers and each of these needs
to work. Instead, I've added an id3 element and let it redo typefiding
after the id3 header. this needs a hack because spider only typefinds
once. We can remove this hack once spider supports multiple typefinds.
* with all this, mp3 typefinding is semi-rewritten
* id3 typefinding in flac/vorbis is removed, it's no longer needed
* fixed spider and gst-typefind to use this, too.
* Other general cleanups
Original commit message from CVS:
* actually recurse into sndfile if we are able
* big ladspa cleanups, mainly to comply with the buffer-frames caps property, but also general
cleanups
- the samplerate prop is gone, if you want to set it explicitly (as in for get-based plugins)
you need to use a filtered connection, just like with buffer-frames
* big float2int and int2float changes for buffer-frames compatibility - I think it's quite a bit
simpler
* make the ossclock general, add it to gstaudio, and use it in sndfile as well
i need to update mimetypes, but that's coming soon. there are some other plugins that don't
support buffer-frames, i guess i need to get around to fixing them as well.
Original commit message from CVS:
Plugins cleanup:
* stereo2mono, mono2stereo, int2float, float2int: replaced by audioconvert.
* stereosplit replaced by oneton.
* vumeter replaced by level (and was broken anyway).
* avifile replaced by ffmpeg.
* mjpegtools duplicates functionality of jpeg. jpeg now works with jpeg-mmx,
too, which makes mjpegtools unneeded.
* allow for jpegmmx instead of jpeg.
* openquicktime replaced by qtdemux and ffmpeg. Broken anyway.
* XMMS is broken and will never be fixed.
* vga is broken and will not be fixed anywhere soon.
* videosink has never worked. If it works, add it back to replace xvideosink.
Original commit message from CVS:
* caps refcounting fixes for float2int
* fixed wrt setting of caps on int pad with dynamic number of sink pads in float2int
* added libsndfile plugin (currently only the src is implemented) - currently only float output, noninterleaved is implemented
Original commit message from CVS:
Adds divx/xvid encoders.
* divx encoder is based on divx4linux (commercial, closed-source)
* xvid encoder is based on xvidcore (http://www.xvid.org/, GPL - Christian? ;) )
Both use a GstCaps that doesn't conform with what we currently use, I might fix that later on or so. For now, it doesn't matter, it's just a test. We're also missing corresponding decoders (ffmpeg can decoded this too, but that's not the point), these might come later too.
Original commit message from CVS:
add FreeBSD patches from Andrew Turner and add missing ivorbis m4 to cvs, also disable ivorbis plugin as the test mistakes ordinary vorbis for tremor
Original commit message from CVS:
* s/gst_element_install_std_props/gst_element_class_install_std_props/ -- it just makes more sense that way
* added jack element, doesn't quite work right yet but i didn't want to lose the work -- it does build, register,
and attempt to run though
* imposed some restrictions on the naming of request pads to better allow for reverse parsing
* added '%s' to reverse parsing
* added new bin flag to indicate that it is self-iterating, and some lame code in gst-launch to test it out
* fixen on launch-gui
* added pkg-config stuff for the editor's libs
Original commit message from CVS:
... and cvs commits should not be allowed for people who spent six hours
on the phone talking to hardware vendors and struggling with failing raid
systems
