Hello,

thanks for your work.

I will test this version this day or tomorrow

Woo, a reply. I was getting worried there. Might put this post on aw.net too.

And now there are two.

Good work and thanks

Good work

Nice, thanks !

MickJT : I'm using FFmpeg on a regular basis (it was even tested in the latest issue of the French magazine Amiga Power)

I'll test the Altivec version

Great, will test.

I tried to extract the AAC data from some youtube videos but only MPlayer could play it. Tried with TuneNet and the AAC plugin. It just kept falling back to mp3 so I removed the mp3 pluging but then it wasn't recognized at all.

Also tried converting to flac but both TuneNet and AmigaAmp 3 failed on that as well. Only option was to convert to mp3...

Use a windows ffmpeg build and see if you can play it back in TuneNet or AmigaAmp.

I'm guessing ffmpeg isn't the issue there, especially if mplayer could play it.

Noticed it looks for /dev/urandom and opens a requester when making .mkv's. Will fix that one up.

Edit: Just tried converting to .flac then. Played in fine in TuneNet. Had to download the flac plugin from OS4Depot but it plays fine.

Can't get TuneNet to play any AACs though. I'll figure it out.

Edit2: TuneNet isn't able to load the AAC plugin. So, without an AAC plugin, naturally I can't play AACs. Check the "Plugins" list in Preferences and it's not there.

Edit3: Whoops, added faad.library. Now the plugin loads. Works fine with the .m4a's i've made with it. I don't think the TuneNet plugin supports raw .aac files.

Tested the Altivec version. Works ok for me without any trouble.

FFplay is great too, too bad it doesn't support overlay since it is able to play file the actual version Mplayer can't. And FFplay Altivec is nealy as fast as Mplayer.

Hello,

tested some movies with ffplay and all work fine but when one movie is too big, the cpu reach 100% and the movie stop.

resizing the window to a smaller size (and even verry small) and the movie not restart (allways black). Normal ?

Pretty much. ffplay is all software rendering to the screen, and if it falls behind, even though it has frameskip, it can't catch up.

Use left/right cursor keys and it that should get it going a again. On my Sam, ffplay is unusable. It's just included, because why not? :)

It's no-where near as fast. Perhaps what you're seeing is ffplay can almost play a particular video at full speed, and mplayer plays it effortlessly. Without looking at a CPU meter, it would look like ffplay is almost as good.

Edit: I guess the actual decoding is just as fast, though, but rendering it on the screen via CPU is slow.

OK. Will just fix the random_seed.c in the altivec version (so .mkv output doesn't bring up a requester) and then release it.

The amount of overall source change is pretty much nothing. It will run and work without any changes what-so-ever.

I've just given it a stack cookie, version string and amiga path fix documented in the 0.6 release thread.

Now available on OS4Depot (upload queue at time of posting).

@MickJT

I'll try putting the aac streams in a m4a container then. Now all I wish for is that AmigaAmp 3 will support aac as well. I think AAC has a fairly superior dynamic sound and stereo image.

Commonly is known that x264 isn't usable, but...

I experimented with a short MJPEG clip, encoding 40 seconds with libx264. I found that using the preset libx264-lossless_ultrafast produces agreeable quality, but the video bitrate is really high - a multiple of the original MJPEG value even.

At first I thought this means I can't use it, but since what I wanted was to upload videos to Youtube without them getting re-encoded, perhaps Youtube would turn them into working & smaller (lossy) H.264 videos? In that case you'd actually get ok quality, if you can wait "that" long to upload.

libx264-lossless_fast comes up bugged, I think. So looks like, the more the codec tries, the worse the result (both lossless and lossy).

Interesting. I'll have a look at that preset. Note that the altivec version is linked against a generic version of libx264 seeing as it never worked anyway. Makes the binary a couple of hundred KB smaller.

A generic PPC build of libxvidcore is used for the generic PPC version of ffmpeg too, even though the altivec version of libxvidcore has altivec detection code so it works on generic PPCs too. Just doing what I could to make the binary slightly smaller.

It can be compressed even further with lzmaloader

Is it possible to turn these static libs into Amiga libs or shared objects ?

How can I compile a program using these ffmpeg/av* libs ? I get a lot of "undefined reference" errors ?

I did compile shared libs a long time ago with 0.6 and there were complications.

What are your undefined references? Please check the .pc files for the "libs.private" line and you'll see what libs are needed there.

This kind of stuff, f.ex.:
/SDK/local/newlib/lib/libavcodec.a(libfaac.o): In function `Faac_encode_close':
/Other/ffmpeg-0.7-rc1/libavcodec/libfaac.c:145: undefined reference to `faacEncClose'
...
/SDK/local/newlib/lib/libavcodec.a(libgsm.o): In function `libgsm_decode_frame':
/Other/ffmpeg-0.7-rc1/libavcodec/libgsm.c:152: undefined reference to `gsm_decode'
...
/SDK/local/newlib/lib/libavcodec.a(pthread.o): In function `worker':
/Other/ffmpeg-0.7-rc1/libavcodec/pthread.c:137: undefined reference to `pthread_mutex_lock'
...
/SDK/local/newlib/lib/libavcodec.a(libxvid_rc.o): In function `ff_xvid_rate_control_init':
/Other/ffmpeg-0.7-rc1/libavcodec/libxvid_rc.c:80: undefined reference to `xvid_plugin_2pass2'

(And a lot of others.)

My command line is:
gcc -o TEST:Program SOURCE:Program.c -lauto -lpthread -lavformat -lavcodec -lavutil -lz -lm -O0 *>ram:Log

I've installed, for example, libfaac.lha from os4depot into my SDK. I couldn't find any gsm libs.

Do this all mean our ports of all those libs are outdated ?

Quote:
?? What and where ?

In the pkgconfig directory that comes with libffmpeg.lha. Bunch of .pc files. I can see you're missing -lgsm -lpthread -lfaac -lfaad -lxvidcore etc.. It's all listed in the .pc files.

As for libgsm, I think I forgot to release that. I'll stick it on OS4Depot in an hour or so.
