• WebM Semantic Video Demo

  18 août 2010, par noreply@blogger.com (John Luther)

  Brett Gaylor at WebMadeMovies has posted an HTML5 demo of popcorn.js, “a javascript library for manipulating open video on the web.” The demo plays a video while using semantic data in the video to trigger machine-translated subtitles, map lookups, Twitter feeds and other elements on the page. If you’re using a WebM-enabled browser the page serves a WebM video, otherwise it serves an Ogg or MP4 video depending on the browser’s capabilities.

  See Brett’s post or the popcorn.js wiki page for more info. You can also download the source from the Mozilla github repo.

  

• Kaleidoscope-like video, what happened ? [closed]

  11 avril 2012, par ghost

  I have used dolphin-player (http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-player/), it is based on ffplay with libsdl, all movies are in 3 pictures like these .

  can anyone know what the problem is, and how to repair it in code ?

• Naive Sorenson Video 1 Encoder

  12 septembre 2010, par Multimedia Mike — General

  (Yes, the word is “naive” — or rather, “naïve” — not “native”. People always try to correct me when I use the word. Indeed, it should actually be written with 2 dots over the ‘i’ but who has a keyboard that can easily do that ?)

  At the most primitive level, programming a video encoder is about writing out a sequence of bits that the corresponding video decoder will understand. It’s sort of like creating a program — represented as a stream of opcodes — that will run on a given microprocessor or virtual machine. In fact, reading a video codec bitstream specification will reveal a lot of terminology along the lines of “transmitting information to the decoder” or “signaling the decoder to do xyz.”

  Creating a good encoder that will deliver decent quality at a reasonable bitrate is difficult. Creating a naive encoder that produces a technically compliant bitstream, not so much.

  
  
  

  When I wrote an FFmpeg encoder for Sorenson Video 1 (SVQ1), the first step was to just create a minimally compliant bitstream. The coarsest encoding mode that SVQ1 allows is to encode the average (mean) of each 16×16 block of samples. So I created an encoder that just encoded the mean of each block. Apple’s QuickTime Player was able to play the resulting video in all of its blocky glory. The result rather reminds me of the Super Nintendo’s mosaic effect.

  Level 5 blocks (mean-only 16×16 encoding) :
  

  
  
  

  Level 3 blocks (mean-only 8×8 encoding) :
  

  
  
  

  It’s one thing for your own decoder (in this case, FFmpeg’s own decoder) to be able to decode the data. The big test is whether the official decoder (in this case, Apple QuickTime Player) can decode the file.

  
  
  

  Now that’s a good feeling. After establishing that sort of baseline, it’s possible to adapt more and more features of the codec.
