Users / Re: Video File Format
« Last post by tschak909 on March 10, 2014, 04:25:36 pm »The H.264 codec (that is a part of MPEG-4 advanced profile) has become the main-stay of high definition video output, over the last decade, alongside other codecs like VC-1.
For high-definition output, you essentially have two major resolution targets, 720p (1280x720 or approximate), or 1080p (1920x1080p or approximate).
The two major video containers that have established themselves across the *cough* high-def downloadable video content arena, are basically Matroska (MKV), and ISO MPEG-4 (aka MP4).
AVI is not in this list, because AVI's data structures are nominally signed 32-bit, and thus do not scale out well past 2.1GB of data. This would drastically limit the amount of video data that can be held in an AVI, so it's usually relegated to low resolution content, now.
If you use a tool, such as MakeMKV, to make a backup of blu-ray content, you'll see that a full quality rip of a single blu-ray movie (just the movie, not the other features, menus, etc.), will vary from approximately 20 to approximately 40 gigabytes in size. This translates roughly to a video bandwidth between 36 megabits per second, and 54 megabits per second (max, as defined by standard.)
This should give you a solid ceiling for high-def content.
Most "downloadable" content from various sites, however, will be significantly curbed, to make the downloadable size much smaller, so you'll typically see good copies of a movie from 6 gigabytes to 12 gigabytes in size.
Scale accordingly. Hope this helps.

Users / SIP Video intercom
« Last post by SoChabran on March 10, 2014, 10:27:10 am »Hi,
I'm currently looking for a SIP video intercom and I found the product "NovoSIP" on the internet which sounds interested but I don't know much about video intercom so I would like to know if someone knows about it or what you think about it ?
Thank you

« Last post by dopey on March 09, 2014, 10:52:43 pm »Okay, interesting response. Why do you think this won't succeed? At this point it's just a concept, so if there's good reason why this shouldn't happen, then I'd like to hear it.
You are right though, I most certainly won't succeed if the existing developers don't really care about this and I get no direction from them.

« Last post by phenigma on March 09, 2014, 10:37:12 pm »I am not quite sure if I am ready to take ownership over the MythTV integration yet, but willing to help out any way that I can.
Hey there ata-lmce! I am, currently, one of the primary devs on the project. I try to work with people regularly as they are prepping new features or bug fixes. If you need any assistance let us know. I'd be happy to help you to get things added/updated/fixed from this end. So even if you do not wish to take ownership we would still welcome any contributions you can provide, especially MythTV related.

Let me say just a single thing on this topic, after that I shall refrain from visiting this thread again: You won't succeed. You will probably burn endless hours. And in the end, you will give up. Sounds harsh. Yep.
