<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi good people,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just to inform:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I finally fed FFMpeg2Theora with a .VOB input, and
the .OGV output produced played back beautifully in VLC, both audio and
video. However, the same output .OGV file gave clicks and pops in the
audio when fed through Directshow programs. I played it through Windows
Mediaplayer as well as through Winamp, with the same crackles in the audio, and
this leads me to assume the problem might be directshow-dependent, especially
since VLC plays the audio crisp and clean</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>.
Through Directshow both in Winamp and Windows MediaPlayer, , It sounds like an
old CD that has developed that "static" sound throughout the audio.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Winamp still produces the upsidedown video as we've
already identified.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Seems like Directshow has a bit of way to go
before we can safely call for public release, but I must say, it's marvelous
thus far for a team of people who do this as a charity project!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, I've figured that when using the --Optimize
switch in FFMpeg2Theora, it does correctly assume the correct output
filename.ogv from input filename.vob. It is probably only a
problem using -Speedlevel 0. Sorry for miss-reporting earlier. Also,
my experience with that result was when feeding a .avi file so not sure with
other formats.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also still not sure why videos from my digital
camera whose audio is 11025 sampling speed,, outputs to a distorted scrambled
sound result in the ogv output. Video is just fine.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On my server, you can find the Animals.vob file
from which I replicate the problem with the "static" sound in the audio, as well
as the .ogv output.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You can also find the "Lion.avi" file from my
digital camera along with the .ogv output whose audio is highly distorted and
scrambled beyond recognition.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please forgive the fact that once I reach my
bandwidth limit on the server, you will get very very slow downloads. Note
that I will remove the server from 1 July as I will not want to lose all my
limited bandwidth for another month. I'm doing just that this month for
the sake of helping development. It's the least I can offer for the
efforts of this great team.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And finally: Does anyone know where to find
accessibility tips using VLC player for visually impaired users? I am one
such user, really struggling to access the interface with Jaws for Windows,
especially the menu bar which only speaks the first pull-down item once you pull
down any menu item from the main horizontal pull-down. Also, Jaws cursor
only sees the title bar and some graphics.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If not done so already, I would like to get
something going on accessibility tips and tricks for VLC Player, as it is such a
great program which can read so many Video formats.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Kindest regards to all, from here in South
Africa.</FONT></DIV>
