[PATCH] add a ffscale element
Last modified: 2005-06-30 16:04:08 UTC
This patch adds a ffscale element to gst-ffmpeg. The element is based on imgresample and can resize video. Right now there are other 2 similar elements in gstreamer: videoscale and gdkpixbufscale, some things about these elements: * ffscale is faster than gdkpixbufscale (a lot faster) * ffscale is slower than videoscale* ffscale images are the same quality as gdkpixbuscale's one * videoscale has really bad quality (see #161079) * ffscale supports only I420 * gdkpixbuscale supports only RGB I'm attaching here for review.. and to see if someone other than me would like to see this element in cvs :)

Well, it's in the TODO in gst-ffmpeg, so yes, I've considered this cool-to-have at some point, too. :). Not sure how useful it is in the end for mainstream (like Totem) because ffmpeg limits itself to YUV420, but well, why not... Deinterlacing would rock, too (see TODO once more). Apply it, I'd say, although long-term it's probably better to work on videoscale... Up to you, though. Thanks.
committed as ffvideoscale (as written in the TODO)
