= Welcome to pylibdv 0.1 = [[PageOutline]] check this [https://dev.interhost.no/pylibdv/downloads download] == Background == pylibdv is a project for one of my university courses; [http://www.uio.no/studier/emner/matnat/ifi/INF5660/index-eng.xml INF5660 - Advanced problem solving with high level languages]. pylibdv is a python wrapper for [http://libdv.sourceforge.net/ libdv].[[BR]] From libdv home page: "libdv is a software codec for DV video, the encoding format used by most digital camcorders, typically those that support the IEEE 1394 Firewire or i.Link) interface. Libdv was developed according to the official standards for DV video: IEC 61834 and SMPTE 314M." == Overview of package == {{{ pylibdv-0.1/src/pylibdv.c pylibdv-0.1/src/pylibdv.h pylibdv-0.1/frame_viewer/frame-viewer.py pylibdv-0.1/example/parse_decode.py pylibdv-0.1/dv/test.dv pylibdv-0.1/testing.py pylibdv-0.1/setup.py pylibdv-0.1/README }}} == Setup == use setup.py to install package. Please note! If you can't get root acces, but want to build, and try the examples (frame-viewer.py and parse_decode.py) simply copy the .so file into those folder after building. {{{ pylibdv-0.1/python setup.py build (will create a build directory, inside the arcitecthure directory you will find the shared object file pylibdv.so) pylibdv-0.1/python setup.py install (requires root) }}} == Testing == To run the tests simply use pylibdv-0.1/python testing.py Uses [http://docs.python.org/lib/module-doctest.html doctest]. It will search for pieces of text that look like interactive Python sessions, and then executes those sessions to verify that they work exactly as shown. See [https://dev.interhost.no/pylibdv/wiki/WikiStart#Knownbugs Known Bugs] for more information. == Requirements == libdv 1.4 (works with debian package 0.104-2 from debian repository)[[BR]] python >= 2.4 (testing.py won't work with 2.3, doctest will fail due to a bug in 2.3)[[BR]] gcc[[BR]] == Known bugs == libdv seg-faults on some versions of the libdv library. There seems to be a bug in the asm-optimization, so a quick work-around if this occurs is to turn off asm-optimization. The doctest suite doesn't seem to find the two tests belonging to the Decoder, only the pylibdv tests are performed. == Progress == So far the following is available:[[BR]] pylibdv: Constants: DV_QUALITY_BEST[[BR]] DV_QUALITY_FASTEST[[BR]] DV_QUALITY_COLOR[[BR]] DV_QUALITY_DC[[BR]] DV_QUALITY_AC_1[[BR]] DV_QUALITY_AC_2[[BR]] DV_QUALITY_AC_MASK[[BR]] e_dv_color_rgb[[BR]] e_dv_color_yuv[[BR]] e_dv_color_bgr0[[BR]] Object: Decoder[[BR]] Methods: parse_header()[[BR]] decode_full_frame()[[BR]] Data: frame_size (read only)[[BR]] width (read only)[[BR]] length (read only)[[BR]] quality (read & write)[[BR]] This project is ongoing and most functions will be wrapped by the end of the summer (depending on need). == Simple example == {{{ import pylibdv decoder = pylibdv.Decoder(ignored=1, clamp_luma=1, clamp_chroma=1) file = open("somedvfile.dv,"r") framebuffer = file.read(120000) # Just enough to make sure decoder.parse_header(framebuffer) # Now we can get some information about the video frame_size = decoder.frame_size width = decoder.width height = decoder.height file.seek(0) #Back to start framebuffer = file.read(frame_size) rgb_buffer = decoder.decode_full_frame(framebuffer) #Now the rgb buffer can be drawn to screen, check out gtk package }}} Enjoy!
