Any altivec experts? (H.264 codec)

@broadblues

Thank you for understanding, I have asked my accountant about this and am awaiting a reply on the matter. As a freelancer I do have to fill periodic VAT paperwork, including intra-EU invoicing, which is more complicated than usual but not that much, and it's hard for me not to invoice services properly -and the fines are pretty high if I don't. I actually live on this, not just Altivec/SIMD work -I admit it's not 100% of my time as I would like- but software development in general. It's quite common for me to work with companies abroad and usually -at least within the EU- there is no problem, but I've never had to provide my services to individuals so far, which complicates things a bit, but I trust to find a solution soon. But as others have already pointed, this is off-topic and I won't bother the list again until a solution has been found,

I've just started looking at the code and in the next days I'll be posting updates here. I will try my best to prove worthy of everyone's trust and I hope the result will be to your satisfaction.

"I will try my best to prove worthy of everyone's trust and I hope the result will be to your satisfaction."

You are right, for us it's the only goal.
Sorry for the digression...

Courage for the work !

i found the libmpeg2 is full altivec optimized right now.
if some one need apple made an .h for altivec in the SDK of Macos PPC . plus gcc use -faltivec an -maltivec of CPPFLAGS .i dont know if it work on amigaside too

@all
There is at the moment nothing to report.I'm struggling with the paperwork.
After this i will get the money and pay off feanor. This is a slow process.

Oh, please bother, post, write, imagine, turn this forum into your blog
I would like that as it's quite calm and quiet in here most of the time.

I need to say this...i like your style...please stay around and as elwood mentioned...you'll probably even find more work lying around us Amigamaniacs

@tommysammy

Please note that Hyperion has endorsed this project and has contacted the developer directly in order to assess where we can be of help, financially and legally.

@PWP

Great and of course, as it's individuals guys that donated to this bounty, the advancement and the availability will be public (not reserved to OS4 betatesters).

Right ?

@PWP

who says that Hyperion has contacted the developer?

@PWP

Who are you?

@rwo

I do and since I am still director legal, I represent the management.

Obviously this code is GPL v2 so it will remain that way.

@PWP

ohh, so you would be mr. Hermans in disguise ?

its nice to see Hyperion have money to support new projects!

@PWP

Hello,

Thank you for the support, but I admit I have not received any email yet, thought it was in my spam folder but it isn't perhaps you used the wrong address? (it's markos at freevec dot org).

@Raziel

The past days I admit I haven't been very involved with much, mostly due to the holidays, but things will start picking up pace soon, I've done some profiling myself -basically reproduced what corto did here and split some functions to get more fine-grained profiling, but not much more. I think I'll go with optimizing the pred* functions first and see what happens, these are optimized for arm/aarch64/x86 so it's a natural choice to do these for altivec as well.

@PWP

Ah, sorry, it was in the inbox in the forums, for some reason I didn't have email notification setup here. I'll reply asap :)

edit: Just realized that my profile here uses a non-existent email account, any idea how/who to contact to have my email address changed to a more recent one?

@feanor
Would you like me to change your email? If yes, which one would you like to use?

@walkero

Thanks for the instant support :)

Why did Ben Hermanns resurrect PWP? 2 posts in 6 years, both here.
Why not just use HyperionMP as normal?

@ddni

Maybe it is a fake account

@tommysammy

If so, then who has contacted Feanor?
