DUGL Player 0.4 alpha (Theora/OGG) (Announce)

posted by FFK , 18.10.2009, 16:41

I dropped MPEG1/2 support for 2 main raisons :
- First MPEG1/2 is a patented video/audio format. So as I'm not sure about the legal issues. Even is DUGL Player is a freeware!
- Second, I used LIBMPEG2 which is a GPLed library, and also I have doubts about legal issues, as DUGL core library is closed source. (DUGL player source available not enough ?!)

For the OGG format, It's right that we need (i guess) two times more powerful CPU to see the same video. But it's :
- Patent free format
- Video file is about 30% of the size MPEG2 file for the same quality.
- theora/ogg/vorbis library are free for any usage.
- Demuxing audio/video is pretty easy not as libmpeg2
