[theora-dev] Win32 experimental player/encoder

[Dan Miller]

it appears your encoder/player do not yet reflece the changes rillian introduced wrt theora headers, which have been split into three parts -- header proper, comment, and tables (see toplevel.c).

It's strange that your code works at all linked against the new libs; presumably since the tables still have the hard-coded values, if you encode & decode from the same lib compile you won't see the problem -- the tables just never get loaded & use default values.  You can test this by trying to decode with NEW_FREQS (hufftables.h) set to 1 (use a file encoded with it set to zero, or vice versa).  You should see obvious artifacts that get progressively worse after each keyframe.

Right now I think I have the encoder working properly, but I'm having trouble with the player.  Should be debugged in a couple days.  Clearly the code needs to be cleaned up so it errors or at a minimum doesn't initialize these tables to any default values. 

Hopefully then we can do a real merge & test/ checkin.  Final bitstream change would be the arbitrary size fix, with a cropping rectangle in the header.  Anyone working on that?
