ola,
i am not complaining too much because i am pretty happy this is just working in general... i am just looking to make it a little more efficient and i am a little confused over all the yuv/yv12 stuff that is going on and why i have to convert to rgb and back to yuv just to get it to work right - with the understanding pdp/yuv is the fastest and most efficient.
yes, pdp was all coded mostly in yuv since the beginning for efficiency and speed reasons, so we have to pass throough conversions to connect to other pieces of code.
BTW the piping stuff is really killer! although i have only been able to get it to work on linux... osx gives me a wicked big file that continuously increases in size as the stream is converted. linux just makes a 0k tmp/pipe that is very nice. i guess this is just a mencoder thing on osx obviously.
interesting bug, but it means it's not compà tible with linux standards then, humm.. no osx here ( in all the house )
xiaoo, sevy
thanks! m
