The Xiph.org Foundation's libtheora 1.0beta1 release
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
*** What is Theora?
|
|
|
|
Theora is Xiph.Org's first publicly released video codec, intended
|
|
for use within the Foundation's Ogg multimedia streaming system.
|
|
Theora is derived directly from On2's VP3 codec; Currently the
|
|
encoders are nearly identical, but Theora will make use of new
|
|
features supported by the decoder to improve over what is
|
|
is possible with VP3.
|
|
|
|
*** Where is Theora?
|
|
|
|
Theora's main site is www.theora.org. Theora and related libraries
|
|
can be gotten from www.theora.org or the main Xiph.Org site at
|
|
www.xiph.org. Development source is kept in an open subversion
|
|
repository, see http://theora.org/svn/ for instructions.
|
|
|
|
*** What is the goal of this release?
|
|
|
|
This is the first beta release of the 1.0 reference implementation.
|
|
It is intended to completely support the decoder specification, and
|
|
gather feedback on the implementation before declaring it stable.

Getting started with the code

|
*** What do I need to build the source?
|
|
|
|
Requirements summary:
|
|
|
|
For libtheora:
|
|
|
|
libogg 1.1 or newer.
|
|
|
|
For example encoder:
|
|
|
|
as above
|
|
|
|
libvorbis and libvorbisenc 1.0.1 or newer.
|
|
|
|
For the player only:
|
|
|
|
as above,
|
|
|
|
SDL (Simple Direct media Layer) libraries and headers
|
|
|
|
OSS audio driver and development headers
|
|
|
|
The provided build system is the GNU automake/autoconf system, and
|
|
the main library, libtheora, should already build smoothly on any
|
|
system. Failure of libtheora to build on a GNU-enabled system is
|
|
considered a bug; please report problems to theora-dev@xiph.org.
|
|
|
|
Some windows build support is included in the win32 directory.
|
|
|
|
There is also an experimental scons build.
|
|
|
|
*** How do I use the sample encoder?
|
|
|
|
The sample encoder takes raw video in YUV4MPEG2 format, as used by
|
|
lavtools, mjpeg-tools and other packages. The encoder expects audio,
|
|
if any, in a separate wave WAV file. Try 'encoder_example -h' for a
|
|
complete list of options.
|
|
|
|
An easy way to get raw video and audio files is to use MPlayer as an
|
|
export utility. The options " -ao pcm -vo yuv4mpeg " will export a
|
|
wav file named audiodump.wav and a YUV video file in the correct
|
|
format for encoder_example as stream.yuv. Be careful when exporting
|
|
video alone; MPlayer may drop frames to 'keep up' with the audio
|
|
timer. The example encoder can't properly synchronize input audio and
|
|
video file that aren't in sync to begin with.
|
|
|
|
The encoder will also take video or audio on stdin if '-' is specified
|
|
as the input file name.
|
|
|
|
There is also a 'png2theora' example which accepts a set of image
|
|
files in that format.
|
|
|
|
*** How do I use the sample player?
|
|
|
|
The sample player takes an Ogg file on standard in; the file may be
|
|
audio alone, video alone or video with audio.
|
|
|
|
*** What other tools are available?
|
|
|
|
The programs in the examples directory are intended as tutorial source
|
|
for developers using the library. As such they sacrifice features and
|
|
robustness in the interests of comprehension and should not be
|
|
considered serious applications.
|
|
|
|
If you're wanting to just use theora, consider the programs linked
|
|
from http://www.theora.org/. There is playback support in a number
|
|
of common free players, and plugins for major media frameworks.
|
|
Jan Gerber's ffmpeg2theora is an excellent encoding front end.

|
Troubleshooting the build process
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
*** Compile error, such as:
|
|
|
|
encoder_internal.h:664: parse error before `ogg_uint16_t'
|
|
|
|
This means you have version of libogg prior to 1.1. A *complete* new Ogg
|
|
install, libs and headers is needed.
|
|
|
|
Also be sure that there aren't multiple copies of Ogg installed in
|
|
/usr and /usr/local; an older one might be first on the search path
|
|
for libs and headers.
|
|
|
|
*** Link error, such as:
|
|
|
|
undefined reference to `oggpackB_stream'
|
|
|
|
See above; you need libogg 1.1 or later.
|
|
|
|
*** Link error, such as:
|
|
|
|
undefined reference to `vorbis_granule_time'
|
|
|
|
You need libvorbis and libvorbisenc from the 1.0.1 release or later.
|
|
|
|
*** Link error, such as:
|
|
|
|
/usr/lib/libSDL.a(SDL_esdaudio.lo): In function `ESD_OpenAudio':
|
|
SDL_esdaudio.lo(.text+0x25d): undefined reference to `esd_play_stream'
|
|
|
|
Be sure to use an SDL that's built to work with OSS. If you use an
|
|
SDL that is also built with ESD and/or ALSA support, it will try to
|
|
suck in all those extra libraries at link time too. That will only
|
|
work if the extra libraries are also installed.
|
|
|
|
*** Link warning, such as:
|
|
|
|
libtool: link: warning: library `/usr/lib/libogg.la' was moved.
|
|
libtool: link: warning: library `/usr/lib/libogg.la' was moved.
|
|
|
|
Re-run theora/autogen.sh after an Ogg or Vorbis rebuild/reinstall
