Uh ? Why did you move the thread to mcf-devel Steve ? Was this by purpose or
coincidentally ? I dont think this question is directly related to the
development of MCF, but more like '.....do we want to do it, and can we
offer him something working based on what we have....' , therefore i chose
mcf-general.

Steve, this codec doesnt have b-frames at all i guess, its not based on
anything similar to MPEG standard if i understand correctly.

Here is what he says :

[quote]In terms of intraframe, it's supertemporal. It uses no motion
encoding, vector motion prediction is a flawed system unsuited to the nature
of video data. (yeah yeah I know, it sounds like a broken reccord but I
really dislike mpeg) =)
Actually this isn't quite right but it's hard to explain how it doesn't
really use frames at all. I'm a big fan of analog signals. Hence this system
would work with any analog signal (such as audio, hint hint). If they invent
a device that can digitize and reproduce smell, I could compress the data.
I liked your idea, but since there's no real analogy between my system and
the motion system in mpeg, I don't really have a way to use it. It's a neat
idea though. [/quote]

But as i understand it he has to load more than one frame into buffer ( read
about his problems with memory allocation ) for encoding, this makes VfW
impossible IMHO. Talking about MCF, he simply would like to put the frames
into the container in a certain order i guess. libmcf should be capable of
supporting this ?

Christian
