[XviD-devel] time for some progress :)

[Radek Czyz]

Hi everyone,

As you might know, my exams are over. I really feel like going back to 
xvid now - there are things I want to do, bugs I want to fix and bugs I 
want to invent.

I commited AdvDiamond() fix some hours ago, and dshow brightness fix 
some minutes after that.
What I'm doing now is VBV controls in out VfW config. Everything works 
well except for one parmeter - peak bitrate. VBV needs it, but the value 
is NOT hardcoded in our already-coded profiles. Is this a buglet which I 
should fix, or maybe our profiles do have this value and I just can't 
see it? They have some values I don't understand, that might be it.


Now, another thing: RRV. What are we going to do about it? It doesn't 
work, it's useless, it's not supported by anything. We can either fix it 
or get rid of it. I place my vote on removal, lots of ME, MC and decoder 
code will become clearer.

Further down the road, I want to make XviD understand packed bitstream 
without any stupid DIVX markers (it is easy, this is how all other 
decoders work right now) and implement HVS plugins (I've already made up 
my mind how).

PS. don't forget to answer about the profile / peak bitrate stuff :)
