[Kdenlive-devel] xine-lib & non DV video

[Rolf Dubitzky]

Hi,

I was looking in using xine-lib to support other video formats and codecs, but 
after a while I had to come to the conclusion that this is not yet possible. 
I hat som e-mail exchange with Guenter and it seems, that this is something 
xine-lib might be targeting for after they have the 1.0 version out.

No I will have to try either ffmpeg again, or maybe look at mjpegtools. 
mjpegtools look like a huge set of standalone tools, which is not optimal for 
what I want to do. I am not sure if there is some central library I could 
use, but I don't like the idea of calling external binaries and pipe the 
video data around. I have the feeling, that I will end up at the same point 
like with xine, namely that mjpegtools cannot easyly provide random access to 
the mpeg frames.

Cheers,
Rolf
