[theora-dev] [PATCH][RFC] Adapt Theora frame rate to DirectShow clock

[Patrice MANDIN]

Hello,

Here are my patches to adapt the Theora frame rate of the encoded stream
to the DirectShow clock.

Theora has a fixed frame rate for a video stream, contrary to a DirectShow
stream. When Theora do not know the frame rate of a video device, it
defaults to 30 fps, and the resulting stream playbacks too fast or too
slow depending on the video device frame rate.

For example, a DV cam (PAL, 25 fps) stream is playback too fast.

The first patch adds a function in the DS abstract lib, to send the DS
frame time start and end to the filter.

The second patch is the one related to the Theora encoder, which skips
frames if the Theora encoder generates too many frames, and adds frames
if they are not enough. Currently it is disabled in the patch, with
the #define ADAPT_FRAME_RATE 1.

I ask for a RFC, because there may be a better way to check for the
Theora time, and/or DS time.
