DivX H264 Decoder

[Ne0phyte]

Hi developers,

I've looking some information about the "Project Rémoulade" and looking information on inet about it.

Anyone knows if I can use in a C++ project to dompress a h264 frame data from an IP Camera? I've looking and I can't find information to know the value of biCompression in a BITMAPINFOHEADER.

If I can use, this works good with big resolutions?

Thank you in advance :)

I'm pretty sure they don't provide an open API that you can link to, but you can probably interface with it in DirectShow.

But if you're looking to distribute a product using it, I highly doubt they will license it to you for free ;)

I'm trying different decoders and now I'm going to try Divx Decoder because I founded very hard for example use of libavcodec in a c++ code.

I'm using ffdshow but In the configuration window of that I can't see anything about the Divx Decoder. Yo know the FCC of the DivX?

Thanks Dark Shikari :p

Yo know the FCC of the DivX?The DivX decoder is not part of ffdshow.

You can try the DiAVC H.264 decoder. It has a open API that you can use to decode raw H.264 bitstreams.
The DiAVC H.264 decoder is the fastest software H.264 decoder in the world.

schweinsz, how much would licensing cost later, when the final version of DiAVC is released?

@schweinsz

are you sure you checked the whole world:p

I will sell the DiAVC H.264 decoder filter at 9.9USD.
If some companies would like to license the DiAVC H.264 decoder, the cost depends on their purpose. For example, if they only plan to use the DiAVC in their player, I can license to them at 50000USD by .dll (for windows) or .a (for linux). If the arm version is in interest, I can develop on it (perhaps need 7 weeks). If they plan to buy out the DiAVC, they must pay 20000USD.
I am not an expert on pricing, so I simplily set these prices.

I believe if there is one, it will be well known in doom9.

If some companies would like to license the DiAVC H.264 decoder, the cost depends on their purpose. What would apply in my case if I want to make a DGIndex/DGDecode based on DiAVC? I would assume nothing as I would invoke the API only and the user would already have obtained the decoder.

Yes, you are right.

Great. Thank you for the information.

And me who thought there was long-lasting commercial negociation behind the scenes !!!
Methinks we have just witnessed a contractual agreement, live !

For once, I can't wait to start spending my hard-earned €€€s on software (the only software I have bought was ... er ... OS/2 2.1 ?!)

three cheers for a potentially very useful developer partnership.

Hi ppl,

but DiAVC H.264 decoder is free? Where I can download the API to try it in my own code.

Thanks in advance :)

Look three posts above yours.

Nope, it won't be free. So for any application that is based on the DiAVC API the user will need to buy DiAVC separately.
