Hi guys... I am sorry I haven'tentered in a while, but I have some
personal problems :(. I'll be here next week with the user interface.

No problem. I also have to run off for a few days to finish other
stuff...

OOH, status right now is promising, but now quite working yet:

You can convert video using just linux box which plays on hardware
player (apart from glitz at the end where it sometimes reports format
error), but luminance is all wrong: colors are much brighter then they
should be. Oh, did I mentioned that frame is flipped so that you can't
read text? ;-)

On the bright size, display on players isn't that good, so turning your
player under slight angle might make picture quite good.

And player doesn't mind being turned upside-down for video playback...

Anyhow, if you wanted to quickly convert video to your player on Linux box,
it has some use, at least for me...

I'm sorry to hear about your personal problems Alex.

Dobrica: For me, the converter also already has some use, I converted some video to amv format for viewing on the train and stuff !

We should also support mac users - they also can't use the Windows AMV convert tools.

This really is cool! About that luminance thing, can't you try to play a bit with that luminance table? As far as I remember, that table is constructed from the jpg headers. You should be able to tweak that issue. I am not too sure. There is a thing. I can make you a DLL that you can call and it can flip the picture and apply filters like contrast, etc. But the thing is that I need a classic JPG file for that. I mean a valid picture with headers, not just the data. I'll be soon there to help. Monday I am releasing my first shareware application and we're striving to fix those nasty bugs.

I'll see you soon. Take care!
Alex.

try attached patch. But note: this is not solution.

With this patch AVI->AMV->AVI transcoding works well, while AMV->AVI
and AVI->AMV does not, thus not usable.

In other words:
If A' is table for decoding AMV's MJPEG, B is table used by ffmpeg's
mjpeg encoder,
then attached table is B' (ffmpeg's decoding), while we are need A
(AMV's mjpeg encoding)

I can't find A->A' and A'->A conversion algorithm, though.
