Etheora is a a simplified API for programming Theora video encoding/decoding applications with Ogg containers. It uses and encapsulates libtheora + libogg API and structures, so users need to know very few about video and data containers.
Overview - Encoding
An encoding process is made by these steps:
/* a context declaration. */ etheora_ctx ec;
/* encoder configuration. */
etheora_enc_setup(&ec, width, height, ETHEORA_ASPECT_NORMAL,
fopen("output-video.ogv"), fopen("debug_info.txt"));
/* encoder start. */ etheora_enc_start(&ec);
/* drawing next frame, by puting a r,g,b or y,u,v pixel in (i,j) coordinate */ etheora_enc_rgb_draw(&ec, i, j, r, g, b); /* alternative: etheora_enc_yuv_draw()) */
/* submiting frame to encoding. */ etheora_enc_nextframe(&ec);
/* submiting last frame to encoding by finishing the process. */ etheora_enc_finish(&ec);
The functions _yuv_ and _rgb_ works transparently with OC_PF_420, OC_PF_422 and OC_PF_PF_444, having the libtheora version used support for them or not.
Overview - Decoding
The decoding process is quite similar.
/* a context declaration. */ etheora_ctx ec;
/* decoder configuration. */
etheora_dec_setup(&ec, fopen("input-video.ogv"), fopen("debug_info.txt"));
/* decoder start. */ etheora_dec_start(&ec);
/* reading video data. */ etheora_get_width(&ec); etheora_get_heigth(&ec); etheora_get_fps_numerator(&ec); etheora_get_fps_denominator(&ec); etheora_get_aspect_numerator(&ec); etheora_get_aspect_denominator(&ec);
/* getting next frame by decoding it. */ etheora_dec_nextframe(&ec);
/* getting frame data, by reading a r,g,b or y,u,v pixel in (i,j) coordinate*/ etheora_dec_rgb_read(&ec, i, j, &r, &g, &b) /* alternative: etheora_dec_yuv_read()) */
/* finishing the process. */ etheora_dec_finish(&ec);
The functions _yuv_ and _rgb_ works transparently with OC_PF_420, OC_PF_422 and OC_PF_PF_444, having the libtheora version used support for them or not.
Overview - Going Further
Etheora is documented here: http://svn.xiph.org/branches/etheora-0.1.1/doc/etheora_documentation.pdf
Etheora code is here: http://svn.xiph.org/branches/etheora-0.1.1/src/
Etheora very simple examples are found here: http://svn.xiph.org/branches/etheora-0.1.1/examples/
Etheora still doesn't have audio/speech support. (Although it can get video data from videos with audio). And uses internally the old libtheora API (ie, not the theora-exp). FIXME: The theora-exp API is what's used now on libtheora 1.0. Please use that API instead.
