- Schroedinger
- ============
-
- Schroedinger (or "schro" for short) is an implementation of the
- Dirac and SMPTE VC-2 video compression specification. Dirac was
- developed by BBC Research & Development (http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/)
- as an open technology with open licensing.
-
-
- Schroedinger is the C library implementing video encoding and
- decoding. Most end users will want to use an application that
- uses the Schroedinger library for encoding and decoding Dirac
- streams. A few such applications are Totem, VLC, and Mplayer.
- In addition, media frameworks such as GStreamer and decoding
- libraries such as ffmpeg can be configured to use Schroedinger
- either internally or via plugins.
-
-
- Schroedinger requires Orc (the Oil Runtime Compiler) in order to
- processing. Orc is a library that generates SIMD code at runtime
- based on simple rules and configurable parameters. Information
- about Orc can be found here:
-
- http://code.entropywave.com/projects/orc/
-
-
- Schroedinger uses pkg-config both for finding Orc, and for allowing
- other build systems to find it. If you are having trouble with
- configure scripts not finding Orc or Schroedinger, you probably need
- to set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable (substitute /usr/local
- as necessary):
-
- export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
-
-
- Schroedinger has a mailing list:
-
- https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/schrodinger-devel
-
- (Note that this is spelled with just an "o" instead of "oe" or
- o-umlaut "├╢".)
