h264 compressor for firefox

by Andy Shaules-2 :: Rate this Message:

Hello,

I stuffed an h264 compressor and decompressor into a netscape plugin
sample.

Is there any interest in this being finished and any feed back on me
choosing javascript to pass video frames into the compressor?

Also, Im looking at jni and the rtmp client samples with screen video
capture and formulating to add the compressor to produce h264 screen
captures.

Any interest in these objects, feed back would be appreciated.

This would be 'windows only' folks. at this time. Sorry.

If there is enough interest, I may move beyond proto type proof-of-
concepts. The end result would not likely be 'free'

Sounds awesome and if anyone can pull it off, I'm sure it would be you. :)

Hi,

You mean "h264 compressor and decompressor" is a dll library?
If not, can you provide your prototype as dll library?

Regards, Andrei.

I've made a ton of progress with this dll.
 
Although the dll is not publicly available at this time, I am sending the Header files and the test app code to interested parties for usage review.
 
The firefox h264 compressor interface (through java script) would be last option available. First would be native c++ classes to make either your own JNI interface or broadcast appliance, followed by My own JNI implementation, and finally I'll revisit the Mozilla plugin, and actually implement SIlverlight->Red5 broadcasts using the java script interface.
 
The pace of the work is depending on cash donations. (hint hint) :)
 
Andy

The first generation dll source code and test code is available.

http://www.thebitstream.com/?p=193

firefox plugin code version, not released but you could fidget your own just
as easily.

I have to move on for awhile. Second gen may link to Directshow, or
MediaFoundation. Third generation would link to x264 directly hopefully
being cross platform.

But its fun stuff and the code is nothing too special. moving on for now. I
did my Proof- of - concept. I can write a plugin. I'm satisfied! :)

Hey Andy, cool stuff indeed! One question: what exactly did you mean by Silverlight to red5 broadcasts? Are you talking about live webcam broadcast??

Yes, Silverlight version 4 has webcam access but no compressor as of yet. Possibly a user-generated screen codec, but no real implementation provided by MS for compression.

Cool...I don't get the point of providing webcam access but no compression codec out of the box...so what you are talking about is basically building an h264 compressor for silverlight webcam snapshots that can stream to red5? What about licencing issues with h264? Is it free and open to anyone to implement an encoder? I as because all the encoders that I know of are not free.

Well, it appears they with silverlight are progressivly releasing api's and seeking feedback.
 
As far as licensing is concernered, it is up to the developer and the content provider.
 
This code links to the VFW windows interface and asks for an avi compressor of a particular fourCC code.
 
I have the x264VFW.dll installed.
 
You tell me what license it requires. :)
