We now also have python bindings for Dirac /encoding/ too. If you feel like playing with this (please do!) the same caveats Michael mentioned apply, and the dependancies are the same (pyrex and dirac).
A sample video encoding->decoding->viewing pipeline is in: /Code/Python/Kamaelia/Examples/example10 ... in Kamaelia's tree in the CVS repository. Again, the input format is 'raw' yuv video files. Follow Michael's instructions to build your own from AVI files using ffmpeg. Alternatively, download the sample video files from the dirac website, and prepare them by following the instructions you'll find within comments in the example python program. regards Matt Hammond http://kamaelia.sf.net/ -- | Matt Hammond | R&D Engineer, BBC Research and Development, Tadworth, Surrey, UK. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
