hi,
i am on linux running the very last version of gem from cvs. i am trying to find a good codec for gem. here's my basic research:
the best codec for quicktime is jpeg: transcode -i yourvideo -y mov,null -F jpeg,,jpeg_quality=70 -o gem.mov
gem cpu usage is 38% mplayer cpu usage is 27% ffplay cpu usage is 16% lqtplay cpu usage is 1% **
for avi i tried ffmpeg / mjpeg: transcode -i yourvideo -y ffmpeg,null -F mjpeg -o gem.avi
gem cpu usage is 33% mplayer cpu usage is 33% ffplay cpu usage is 22%
the really best codec around is mpeg4: transcode -i yourvideo -y ffmpeg,null -F mpeg4 -o gem.avi
gem cpu usage is: crashed** mplayer cpu usage is 16% ffplay cpu usage is 11%
it be possible to make a pix_qt based on the source of this player???
** anybody can test this codec? that would be my second choice... after lqtplay ported to gem...
