NAME

Ogg::Theora::LibTheora - XS Interface for calling Theora Video Codec functions in Perl.

DESCRIPTION

Ogg::Theora::LibTheora is a glue between theora/theora.h theora/theoraenc.h and theora/theoradec.h . Please read the XS code to understand the glue implementation.

SYNOPSIS ENCODE

Encoding raw RGB files to create a theora video file.

use Ogg::Theora::LibTheora;
use Ogg::LibOgg ':all';

my $op = make_ogg_packet();
my $og = make_ogg_page();
my $os = make_ogg_stream_state();
my $oy = make_ogg_sync_state();

ogg_sync_init($oy); ## should be == 0
ogg_stream_init($os, 10101); ## should be == 0 and 10101 is a random serial number

# (1) Fill in a th_info structure with details on the format of the video you wish to encode.           #
# (2) Allocate a th_enc_ctx handle with th_encode_alloc().					          #
# (3) Perform any additional encoder configuration required with th_encode_ctl().		          #
# (4) Repeatedly call th_encode_flushheader() to retrieve all the header packets.		          #
# (5) For each uncompressed frame:								          #
#        (5.a) Submit the uncompressed frame via th_encode_ycbcr_in()				          #
#        (5.b) Repeatedly call th_encode_packetout() to retrieve any video data packets that are ready. #
# (6) Call th_encode_free() to release all encoder memory.					          #

-Output: HashRef

ycbcr_to_rgb_buffer

reads the data from the ycbcr buffer and converts to its equivalent rgb buffer. (this is NOT an optimized code, there will be better ycbcr to rgb convertors, some intel gpu processors have mnemonic that does the conversion)

get_th_comment

return an array of comments

get_th_ycbcr_buffer_info

Returns an arrayref of hashrefs containing width, height, stride and data_pointer for each plane (issue#1)

-Input: th_ycbcr_buffer

-Output: arrayref

get_th_ycbcr_buffer_ptr

Returns an data pointer for specified plane index (0 - Y, 1 - Cb, 2 - Cr)

-Input: th_ycbcr_buffer index

-Output: pointer

get_th_ycbcr_buffer_data

Returns an data for specified plane index (0 - Y, 1 - Cb, 2 - Cr)

-Input: th_ycbcr_buffer index

-Output: string - use unpack to get numbers

CAVEATS

This Modules expects the Theora file to be contained in an Ogg container (which true for most of the theora videos at the time of writing this module). Few of the miscellaneous functions like rgb_th_encode_ycbcr_in, ycbcr_to_rgb_buffer are not optimized. This module seems to give Segmentation Fault if the version of libtheora is pre-1.0. In my system (Mac OS X, 10.5.8) when i wrote this module, I was using libtheora @1.1.1_0 (active) and libogg @1.1.4_0 (active).
