[theora-dev] question about ogg mapping

[Mauricio Piacentini]

Are you sure about this, Dan? Because I got from ogg.h

typedef struct {
  unsigned char *packet;
  long  bytes;
  long  b_o_s;
  long  e_o_s;

  ogg_int64_t  granulepos;

  ogg_int64_t  packetno;     /* sequence number for decode; the framing
    knows where there's a hole in the data,
    but we need coupling so that the codec
    (which is in a seperate abstraction
    layer) also knows about the gap */
} ogg_packet;

And in theora_decode_packetin there is:

int theora_decode_packetin(theora_state *th,ogg_packet *op){
..stuff deleted..
    if(op->granulepos>-1)
      th->granulepos=op->granulepos;
...

So at least it looks like theora_decode is setting the current theora_state
granulepos from information encoded in the ogg_packet structure. However as
I said I am not sure this is set correctly by the current encoder.

Regards,
Mauricio

with a zero (one == header packet), then there's a 'predicted' bit
(0=keyframe), etc -- no granulepos at all, that's an Ogg thing.
