Thanks to #theora IRC channel I've ripped the RTP/THEORA packet stream to an
ogg file.
I used liboggz to write packet content (oggz_write_feed function).
The only problem I've found is related to header packets since rtp_theora
specification
(http://svn.xiph.org/trunk/theora/doc/draft-ietf-avt-rtp-theora-00.txt)
suggests to merge identification header and setup header in a single rtp
packet payload suppressing the comment one.
Solution to this problem is trivial:
1) Extract identification header it has a fixed length (42) and write it
down using oggz_write_feed
2) Create a dummy comment header:
Theora_comment tcom;
ogg_packet op_header_comment;
theora_comment_init(&tcom);
theora_encode_comment(&tcom, &op_header_comment)
// and write it down using oggz_write_feed
3) Extract setup header (the remaining playload from 1)) and write it using
oggz_write_feed
Now I've the following problem, playing the ogg file is very fast, is there
a way in theora to 'control' frame rate?
Moreover my next step consists in muxing audio/video (I can save it as a
separate WAV for now), what tool or library do you suggest for muxing?
Thank you,
Stefano
