What does JMF stand for?

While I don't understand why they do it (Java is slow as a dog and decoding 
RA or QT is CPU intensive), this is very interesting, because it is amazing 
what Java decompilers can reconstruct from Java byte code.

Even if it is obfuscated, it should be possible to dig out the interesting
parts and turn it into compilable C++ code.


This interview has some interesting views about formats like ac3 and
DVD

I wonder if Real would change the format, if such an open codec would
be built. They seem to be peculiar about non real clients connecting.

Are you talking about these transformations?

    R = 3.063*X - 1.393*Y - 0.476*Z
    G =-0.969*X + 1.876*Y + 0.042*Z
    B = 0.068*X - 0.229*Y + 1.069*Z

    R'= Y' + 0.000*U' + 1.140*V'
    G'= Y' - 0.396*U' - 0.581*V'
    B'= Y' + 2.029*U' + 0.000*V'


These look like ordinary linear equations.
One could do it even in fixed point arithmetic.

Saw you roaming there. :)
