[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] xjadeo-0.4.0-rc1

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 xjadeo-0.4.0-rc1 - X Jack Video Monitor http://xjadeo.sourceforge.net/ Xjadeo is a simple movie player that synchronizes video to an external time source such as jack transport. It is intended to aid sound composition to a video clip. This is a rewrite of the previous 0.1 release and a conclusion of the ongoing development during the last year. New Features include * displays: Xv, x11+imlib2 * fullscreen and letterbox video * improved video file reading via ffmpeg * on screen display * configuration file * LASH - session management * optional GUI - qjadeo * remote control interface * Midi Time Clock quarterframe sync * documentation * OSX support (experimental) Release Notes: Mixing ffmepg and Xv may produce unexpected effects on some architectures. Please report them as those are the main reason for this release-candidate: http://xjadeo.sourceforge.net/doc/ar01s03.html#problems Although there are many new Features, only the on-screen-display might have an impact on the perfomance of xjadeo. since 0.3.13 xjadeo uses gettimeofday(3) for it's internal timekeeping. - it appears that using clock(3) was a major-bug in the original xjadeo code, though not harmful. The default xjadeo configuration is to run with a low profile: Additional Features need to be enabled explicitly (LASH is an exception). Performance highly depends on the Codec and geometry of the video file: the -K, -k arguments allow to seek many file formats - but is intended only for preview! http://xjadeo.sourceforge.net/doc/ar01s03.html#video_formats There are open ends in osX support: This version includes workarounds for use with ffmpeg on PPC. , but they might not work for all versions of ffmpeg. - Are you an intel-mac user who succeeded to run 'make test' in the ffmpeg svn src? - give us a wink :) http://packman.links2linux.org/package/xjadeo/ provides SuSE-RPMs for i586 and also for x64-64bit. many thanks! We are pleasantly surprised, since we expected serious video-Codec and xjadeo-Xv problems for 64 bit architecture. We have not tested any of the RPMs ourselves. - imlib display + mjpeg codec should work though. A beta-devel debian package can be built from source and the xjadeo.spec.in is intended for FC4 RPMs. robin /at/ gareus /dot/ org luisgarrido /at/ users /dot/ sourceforge /dot/ net
