[AG-DEV] resurrecting AGVCRtoMPEG2

[Gabriel Noronha]

Hi all 

AGVCRtoMPEG2 converts AGVCR recordings to something more useful for playback eg mpeg2 and mp3. 
so far the project was abandon 5 years ago https://trac.ci.uchicago.edu/if-media/browser/AGVCRToMPEG2 
the code for 5 years ago successfully can extract h261 and audio and produce mpeg2 and mp3's. 

I tracked the name of the orginal dev Yifan Lu but it seems he's to have moved on. 

In my efforts to understand it a bit better I've run the source through doxygen to get call graphs and a understanding of flow. 
http://noronha.id.au/AGVCRToMPEG2/files.html 

I've noticed he's copied code from VPC project and VPMedia but then deleted stuff. Is their any active documentation for those projects ? and is any active devs out their able to tell me if the new code will just copy and paste in ? 

currently waiting on uchicargo to give me svn access to upload any changes their is already a patch to allow it to compile with newer gcc and some new ubuntu install instructions. 11.04

plans just so you know: (in order sorta)
    full codec support h264 h261as and mpeg4 
    different arrangements for videos 1 large rest small etc..   
    update to use new ffmpeg functions so not using superseeded functions. 
    64 bit support
    GPU accelerated  (dreaming)
    new UI (maybe) 

yours 

Gabriel
