VC-1: Blu-Ray is now supported too

Now FFmpeg and MPlayer support VC-1 in MPEG2-TS streams which can be found on Blu-Ray discs.

Thanks to Martin for providing sample and Nico Sabbi for implementing handling of this in both FFmpeg and MPlayer.

    Great job…. again! 🙂

    If you need anything else (more .EVO samples f.ex.) just tell me, I have a lot.

    So can I just download the latest MPlayer SVN snapshot to try this?
    Is it updated everyday?

    Regards
    Martin

    Actually it is a small job 😉 It took a small patch adding five lines and changing one in FFmpeg and twice as much in MPlayer.

    Yes, MPlayer snapshot is updated daily.

    As for samples, please contact Roberto Togni (rxt )at( rtogni “dot” it), he is in charge for MPlayer samples repository.

    Hey Kostya

    Is anybody working on sound (getting E-AC3 support)?

    That’s the only thing missing to start watching some HD DVD’s on the Mac 🙂

    Currently Justin Ruggles works on integrating AC3 decoder developed during Google SoC 2006 to FFmpeg (now it uses liba52 to do decoding) and maybe then somebody will work on E-AC3.

    Hi Kostya

    Any updates on the sound support (E-AC3, TrueHD, DTS-HD)?

    Also, are you optimizing the VC-1 code? All my HD DVD VC-1 .EVO’s are playing the video slow (with lag).

    My computer is fast enough. It doesn’t max out the CPU, but still it “lags”/runs slow.

    Thanks 🙂

    No, even AC-3 decoder is not integrated yet.
    I suspect that E-AC3 will be eventually integrated (standard is freely available) and *HD probably won’t (no standards).

    As for VC-1 optimization – it does not have very high priority in my list (I don’t have neither fast CPU nor high-resolution display to watch 1080p). But I will try to make optimizations on x86 for it anyway.

    Frame Accurate Editing in Blu-ray MPEG-2 Transport Streams have now been like perfected.

    Authoring is much easier as oppose to 2007.
    Dooms9 forum goes over the new advances for DVD & Blu-ray authoring.
    check it out its a good site.
