SW: Updated ffmpeg Again (0.49.pre based)

23 Apr 2005 14:53:31


++ From the VOICE OS/2-eComStation News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: Paul Smedley



Hi All,
This is my third release of FFMpeg 0.49.pre based on a pull from the CVS
archive on 23rd April, 2005.

This second release today fixes a screwup on my behalf that prevented the
mp3 & ogg stuff linking in ffmpeg.exe

This is compiled with Innotek GCC 3.3.5 beta 4.

It can be downloaded from
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/ffmpeg-os2-0.49pre20050423v2.zip

For those that don't know ffmpeg is a tool that can be used to quickly
convert video/audio from one format to another.

Please note that with this release, I have compiled in support for mp3 &
ogg encoding, and with these changes, this version of ffmpeg is released
under the GPL license, not LGPL like the prior release.


This has not been extensively tested - but I have successfully converted
some AVIs to Mpeg.

Please send any feedback to paulDESPAM@DESPAMsmedley.info

Cheers,

Paul.
Adelaide, Australia
23rd April, 2005.

21 Apr 2005 08:03:47


++ From the VOICE OS/2-eComStation News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: Paul Smedley



Hi All,
I've uploaded a test version of ffplay.

ffplay is a companion piece of software to ffmpeg the freeware video
converter that I announced on this list a week or so ago and uploaded to
hobbes.

ffplay is a video player that uses the SDL libraries.

This release has known issues on my hardware where if audio is used, the
system hangs. The intent of this test release is to determine if the
audio causes a hang on all systems or just mine.

If the system hangs with the above syntax, please try with:
ffplay -an

-an disables audio which makes it work on my hardware.

Please report feedback and your experience to me at
paulDESPAM@DESPAMsmedley.info

ffplay is at http://users.bigpond.net.au/paulsmedley/ffplay.zip

It requires the sdl.dll and fslib.dll from
ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/sdl/sdl-1.2.7-bin-20050330.zip
&
libc06b4.dll from ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/wvgui/libc06b4.zip

Cheers,

Paul.

Net: New URL for Electronic Teller

18 Apr 2005 17:53:26


++ From the VOICE OS/2-eComStation News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: "Sander Nyman"



There is a new URL for Paul Caron's Electronic Teller.

http://home.cybrnet.net/~phcaron/et/etfeat.htm

Electronic Teller is a native OS/2 - eCS personal finance program with an
elegant user interface. Itt handles bank, credit card, cash, asset,
liability, and investment accounts, which are grouped within portfolios.
WPS integration includes drag-and-drop and object launching.

IMO, ET is VERY well thought out, extremely fast, configurable, and very
stable. It is remarkably intuitive for a financial program, although it
offers extensive help, and documentation. ET has "Advanced balance
forecasting". Why wait to be depressed about future debt and poverty,
when you can forecast it NOW. Reporting capabilities are extensive. It
also utilizes Blowfish encryption, for the age of identity theft. And
yes, it does have a QIF Converter, so importing/exporting data is
possible.

There is an OS/2 eZine review of ET from March 2003 (Note: Features have
been added since this review) here:

http://www.os2ezine.com/20030316/page_3.html

You can download Electronic Teller here:

ftp://ftp.bmtmicro.com/bmtmicro/et420.zip

or, here:

ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/apps/money/et420.zip
