hi,

that's great !! that's the first time i get an acceptable frame rate in PD and, that's funny because i was planning to make such a package myself.

by the way, do you plan to add audio support one of these days ( this might be my little contribution ).

cheers,

hi all,

announcing the initial release of pure data packet (pdp) 0.1. this is a data packet processing extension that uses the pd messaging system to pass around (references to) data objects. right now there is only limited image/video processing.

it is in an experimental phase, so probably only interesting for developers.

the goal is to find a good trade-off between speed (mmx, memory locality), flexibility (meaning low level raw buffer passing actually..) and compliance to the pd paradigm. (the only thing i broke right now is that data has to stay within one pd session. so netsend/receive won't work. fanout is working with minimal data copying using a read/write registering protocol).

portability and ease of compilation hasn't been my greatest concern as of yet, but should gain importance once i understand the trade-offs. so right now its:

• linux only
• intel/amd only (mmx)
• xvideo only (you need a recent video card/driver that supports xvideo

overlay/blitting)

• supports video4linux (and some special support for philips webcam)
• supports movie playback trough libquicktime (only planar yv12 (jpeg))

the source tarball including a precompiled binary can be found at:

comments and suggestions are welcome.

enjoy
