Module History

Version: 0.957

2007 january 19

Once I had figured out why motion JPEG "mjpg" avi files had all sorts of trouble running. But, holy camoly! billyboy figured out that many still cams can produce mjpg-avi files so MS built mjpg into their latest direct show (directX) release and zs4 v0.956 is being conflicted...

this module has thus been expanded to support mpng, mjpg, mvjp, i420 (iyuv) iv12, yvu9 and p444 decoding so that any reasonable windows video program can load avi files with transparencies produced by zs4.

made decoder configurable separately for any invoking program. if a program (someprog.exe) plays the video upside down. then a configuration file for that program "someprog.exe.tabdec.ini" can be set up. every fourcc can have a decoder ini group like [MJPG_decode] with an entry that says "upside_down=1" if the coded should flip the video frame upside_down during decompression.

additional code has been added to the tabpix module for this (the above) purpose.
