• Imagick and Gmagick builds available for Windows

  19 septembre 2009, par Mikko Koppanen — Imagick, PHP stuff

  The new Windows build page http://valokuva.org/magick/ contains builds for both Imagick and Gmagick. All builds are done using VC9 and PHP 5.3.

  ImageMagick builds are QuantumDepth 16 (default).
  GraphicsMagick builds are QuantumDepth 8 (default).

  Please note that these builds won’t work with the official PHP.net binaries which are compiled using VC6.

  Edit : Pierre corrected me that there are official VC9 builds of PHP available at http://windows.php.net/download/

• libvpx 0.9.1 and FFmpeg 0.6

  18 juin 2010, par Multimedia Mike — VP8

  Great news : Hot on the heels of FFmpeg’s 0.6 release, the WebM project released version 0.9.1 of their libvpx. I can finally obsolete my last set of instructions on getting FFmpeg-svn working with libvpx 0.9.

  Building libvpx 0.9.1
  Do this to build libvpx 0.9.1 on Unix-like systems :

  • Download libvpx 0.9.1 from http://code.google.com/p/webm/downloads/list
  • Unpack, chdir to the source dir, ’./configure && make && make install’

  libvpx’s build system has been firmed up a bit since version 0.9. It’s now smart enough to install when said target is invoked and it also builds the assembly language optimizations. Be advised that on 32- and 64-bit x86 machines, Yasm must be present (install either from source or through your package manager).

  Building FFmpeg 0.6
  To build the newly-released FFmpeg 0.6 :

  • Install Vorbis through your package manager if you care to encode WebM files with audio ; e.g., ’libvorbis-dev’ is the package you want on Ubuntu
  • Download FFmpeg 0.6 from the project’s download page
  • Configure FFmpeg with at least these options : ./configure --enable-libvpx --enable-libvorbis --enable-pthreads ; the final link step still seems to fail on Linux if the pthreads option is disabled
  • ’make’

  Verifying
  Check this out :

  $ ./ffmpeg -formats 2> /dev/null | grep WebM
    E webm            WebM file format
  $ ./ffmpeg -codecs 2> /dev/null | grep libvpx
  
   DEV    libvpx          libvpx VP8
  

  That means that this FFmpeg binary can mux a WebM file and can both decode and encode VP8 video via libvpx. If you’re wondering why the WebM format does not list a ’D’ indicating the ability to demux a WebM file, that’s because demuxing WebM is handled by the general Matroska demuxer.

  Doing Work
  Encode a WebM file :

  ffmpeg -i <input_file> <output_file.webm>

  FFmpeg just does the right thing when it seems that .webm extension on the output file. It’s almost magical.

  For instant gratification that the encoded file is valid, you can view it immediately using ’ffplay’, if that binary was built (done by default if the right support libraries are present). If ffplay is not present, you can always execute this command line to see some decode operation :

  ffmpeg -i <output_file.webm> -f framecrc -

• FFmpeg 0.6 ; Something About HTML5

  17 juin 2010, par Multimedia Mike — Open Source Multimedia

  The FFmpeg project made a formal release yesterday. You can download version 0.6 from the project’s download page.

  I’ve actually been seeing more news items about this today than I would have expected. This is most likely because the 0.6 release is named "Works with HTML5". Let it never be said that nerds don’t know marketing. The team really latched on to the hottest buzzword going right now.

  The name of the release refers to FFmpeg’s new native support for Google’s WebM format. It can mux and demux the WebM container, and decode the Vorbis audio, all natively (FFmpeg’s Vorbis encoder has been demoted to "experimental" for this release and it is recommended to enable libvorbis for encoding). But the big news is that this release can support Google’s libvpx natively for VP8 encoding and decoding, without having to apply any other patches.

  Getting libvpx to compile still might be a bit tricky. Fortunately, the first pass of a native, independent VP8 decoder is currently in review on the ffmpeg-devel list.
