The VideoLAN Forums

Hi all,
I am a masters student at UPM (Madrid, Spain) and my work will revolve around video
scalability. The initial intention was to implement some subset of SVC
in VLC. The idea was to receive a scalable H.264 over RTP stream and decode it using VLC.
I have done some changes on VLC source code and I am able to receive and play a non h.264 SVC input stream over RTP.
The next step will be to incorporate SVC abilities.
I would like to know which improvements have been done in this field or some indications on where to start.
I am considering using a x264 library version which includes scalability but I am not quite sure how to integrate it with VLC code.
Thank you in advance.

Regards.

Hi,

I have my own H.264 and AAC codec. I want to use real player for Live capture and Preview. Also i want use V LC for playing.
Can i integrate my customized codec with VLC.
Only for encoding and Decoding i will use my latest CODEC available.

Any one please suggest me asap.

You can, you need to code a module wrapping your codec.

Thank you very much.
As i am fresh user to VLC and integration, any more help how to wrap my codec and build and test will be usefull.

Please i would request any one who has integrated the custom codec and tested.

Thanks in advance !

Take any codec in module/codec/ and take inspiration on it.

Can anyone advise what the processor requirements are for the decompression (decode) of h.264 as compared with mpeg4 part 2? It is twice, thrice or more?

Minimum twice, I would say.
