Is anyone able to play this in FreeBSD with any tool, freeware or commercial? I'd sure like to know if you can. QT video playback is one of the few things I keep MSWin on this box for. BTW, I played this 480x248 clip full-screen in 1280x1024 at full frame rate using hardware scaling and interpolation (not sure about YUV->RGB colorspace conversion; could have been sending RGB for all I know), but anyway it was very nice. Hopefully this will be possible in XFree86 4.0 (+ or - Quicktime codecs). I was just thinking, what would be slick is to have a CGI page (trailers.freebsd.org?) that you can toss Quicktime URLs at, it would rewrap (or decode and reencode) in something your standard xanim could handle, and it'd post a link on a download page and send mail to freebsd-trailers. Heck, that'd be a list I'd join ;-) The Quicktime folks, trying to push their latest and greatest proprietary codec, probably wouldn't go for that though...

Nominally, its Cameron. Unfortunately, he has spent the last several weeks recovering from a filesystem crash which he lost about 88G of data in.

NTSC, etc... Thanks for the pointer. This has some good info. In particular, a few of the slashdot article responders discuss something a friend of mine was telling me: that an encoding that some of the HDTV broadcast stations are using (and doubtless the HDTV cable folks are considering), is just digitizing, compressing, and jam-packing 4-6 regular NTSC signals into the 6MHz chunk previously allocated to one signal (or just transmit one NTSC-encoded channel, and use the other 75-83% of the bandwidth for "other services"). Pure profit, if they can convince anyone to buy a digital TV for that... An article one slashdot poster mentioned also discusses this and is a good browse (it's looong): http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/5.02/netizen.html?pg=3&topic= The Great HDTV Swindle The section on the CICATS standard is pretty funny.

I've been able to reproduce a strange effect with my grab.c program here in the UK (PAL video). If I run grab.c with an image size greater than half the total video size, grab.c grabs an interlaced image. If I run grab.c obnce every 2 seconds, then 1 in 5 images grabbed will have the odd and even scan lines the wrong way around. I've not had time to follow it up yet.

When exactly is the FIELD bit updated in the status register ? There will be random latency before the code gets into the location where the "evenness" is queried, and if (most likely) the bit is updated somewhere near this time, it can cause described behavior ? It can vary against other activity with the same ipl, was bktr using NET_IMASK ? A test run with floodping on, and another with no... I wonder if use of splq() and IMASK_MISC would be proper for sound/video/etc ?

The problem is we don't know what Sigma Designs is having problems with .

It does. There is an output pin which signels even or odd which can be used for 'exernal applications'. After further testing, it may be a settling down problem. It seems to do this glitch on the first frame after initialising the bt848 and is stable after that.

In my opinion, their cards suck. I actually tried one out, but you can't run it at even a moderate resolution without serious video degredation. Even with good cables, I think the pass through solution is not acceptable. Unless you like to run at 800x600 or less, you will probably want to purchase a graphics card with an integrated dvd decoder instead. I think it would be much more worthwhile to support these..

The jist of the problem for what I could figure out was that they did the DVD auth and decrypt in software. Thus the em8300 just took in a raw MPEG stream. So a sugesstion would be to ask them for the specs to only support MPEG 1 and 2 streams. Don't even mention the DVD stuff. Then look at using the css-auth for the Linux folks to get the MPEG 2 stream from the DVD drive. They are not will and even able to tell you how to do the DVD access because of the stupid (IMHO) DVD Consortium policy of security through secrecy. I am willing to work on this with other people. I am working on a Linux project at the moment but I can find some time if this means I can finally get Windows out of my house. -- Nick Poolos poolos@net.ohio-state.edu * Chris Csanady (cc@137.org) [991109 09:01]: > Amancio Hasty wrote: > > > > > > > > With regard to using the Hollywood Plus under NON-Windows environments, I > > > finally got Sigma Designs to say the following: > > > > > > Hi, > > > Our engineers were working on it, after many unsuccessful trials they found > > > out that it is not possible to use the EM8300 chip for that purpose. > > > Sorry but that is not possible. > > > Thank you, > > > mc > > > > > > I would call that pretty well as defective as a WIN-modem. > > > > What is em8300 chip and are they any pointers to a datasheet? > > In my opinion, their cards suck.
