hi all ...
i'm currently working with a gem patch to play back videos files encoded with the cinepak format on linux ...
Why on earth are you doing that? Cinepak is the very first lossy codec
developed for quicktime around 1991 and the quality is horrendous.
It's very unlikely that you would encounter any content compressed
after 1996/97 in Cinepak as literally every single codec after it is
superior.
and what's the prefered (most stable, hq) video codec for linux ...
Photo-Jpeg? Uncompressed 4:2:2? Anything other than Cinepak!
thanks .... tim
