The MBONE is a virtual network. It is layered on top of portions of the physical Internet to support routing of IP multicast packets..." That document was last updated in 2000 - when native multicast was already deployed on several sites for a few years. I remember draft-ietf-mboned-intro-multicast describing mbone as the virtual network using tunnels. Although the draft did not become an RFC (at least, I can't find it right now), it shows that even people on mboned-wg see the mbone as the tunnel part of the multicast enabled internet. Also, the "bone" part in mbone indicates it's seperate infrastructure. To kick off something, it's a good think to use tunnels to create some infrastructure.

It seems that other people participating in mboned-wg have a different view. I'm not sure if it still makes sense to have a working group that coordinates "deployment, engineering, and operation of multicast routing protocols and procedures in the global Internet", but in Salt Lake the majority saw it differently. > Please review the Internet Drafts and RFCs that have been issued by the > IETF MBONED Working Group.

There were good reasons to have it in the past, but that changed today. Multicast has been around for quite some time, SSM is not exactely new either. There is lots of documentation and good books. I really don't see the need for a dedicated mboned-wg anymore. -tb To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Tue Mar 5 12:58:59 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from studsboll.d2g.com (a63.flamman.student.liu.se [130.236.218.63]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 15FE837B405 for ; Tue, 5 Mar 2002 12:58:53 -0800 (PST) Received: from studsboll.realworld.nu (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by studsboll.d2g.com (8.11.6/8.11.6) with SMTP id g25KwnV81918 for ; Tue, 5 Mar 2002 21:58:49 +0100 (CET) (envelope-from doktorn@realworld.nu) Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2002 21:58:49 +0100 From: Rickard Borgmäster To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Subject: MPlayer Video output Message-Id: <20020305215849.31858715.doktorn@realworld.nu> X-Mailer: Sylpheed version 0.7.2 (GTK+ 1.2.10; i386-portbld-freebsd4.5) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org When I execute MPlayer to view ie a DVD, I get this message: VO: [xv] 640x512 => 640x512 Packed YUY2 vo: X11 running at 1280x1024 with depth 24 and 32 bits/pixel (":0" => local display) Sorry, Xv not supported by this X11 version/driver ******** Try with -vo x11 or -vo sdl ********* FATAL: Cannot initialize video driver! *** free_stream() called *** Of course I can use the -vo x11 option, but I just want to know, what exactly is it that isn't supported?

You can run xvinfo to see what (if any) XVideo support you have. IIRC stock XFree 4 does not support XVideo on the Mach64 though, but I could be wrong. If you don't have XVideo support and you're running XFree 4, you might want to google around for some webpages, I'm sure there are people in the same boat as you. On Linux it's called the GATOS project, I don't know what it's called in FreeBSD unfortunatly. -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Tue Mar 5 13:51:30 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from smtpproxy1.mitre.org (smtpproxy1.mitre.org [129.83.20.90]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A428237B434 for ; Tue, 5 Mar 2002 13:51:25 -0800 (PST) Received: from avsrv1.mitre.org (avsrv1.mitre.org [129.83.20.58]) by smtpproxy1.mitre.org (8.11.3/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g25LpB807150; Tue, 5 Mar 2002 16:51:11 -0500 (EST) Received: from MAILHUB1 (mailhub1.mitre.org [129.83.20.31]) by smtpsrv1.mitre.org (8.11.3/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g25Lp9k05957; Tue, 5 Mar 2002 16:51:10 -0500 (EST) Received: from dhcp-105-164.mitre.org (128.29.105.164) by mailhub1.mitre.org with SMTP id 9398717; Tue, 05 Mar 2002 16:50:40 -0500 Message-ID: <3C853DCC.4215604@mitre.org> Date: Tue, 05 Mar 2002 16:51:08 -0500 From: Jason Andresen Organization: The MITRE Corporation X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.75 [en]C-20000818M (Windows NT 5.0; U) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Charles Henrich Cc: Heiko Recktenwald , "Steve O'Hara-Smith" , freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Realtime video capture/divx encoding (brooktree) beta testers required References: <20020304164757.B8269@sigbus.com> <20020304164757.B8269@sigbus.com> <20020305074843.4e94b069.steve@sohara.org> <20020305132058.A18777@sigbus.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Charles Henrich wrote: > > On the subject of Re: Realtime video capture/divx encoding (brooktree) beta > testers required, Heiko Recktenwald stated: > > > At 7:48 Uhr +0100 05.03.2002, Steve O'Hara-Smith wrote: > > > > > PS: I am more interested in mpeg1 than DivX because with mpeg1 the > > >stream can be watched as it is being made. > > > > Would it help to "hint" it on the fly like it is done with mpeg4ip ? > > I dont get it?

You need the entire file if you want to play it. ASF, MPEG1, and perhaps WMV files have headers at the beginning of the file (or at the beginning of each block) so you can do this. -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Tue Mar 5 17:11:45 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from 100waterman.dyndns.org (pool-64-223-16-81.prov.east.verizon.net [64.223.16.81]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id B575D37B404 for ; Tue, 5 Mar 2002 17:11:24 -0800 (PST) Received: (qmail 1570 invoked from network); 6 Mar 2002 01:10:14 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO localhost) (192.168.0.7) by pool-64-223-16-81.prov.east.verizon.net with SMTP; 6 Mar 2002 01:10:14 -0000 Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2002 20:11:20 -0500 Subject: Re: capturing video with ATI cards Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v481) From: Jeb Boniakowski To: freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In-Reply-To: <15492.17122.267949.687336@guru.mired.org> Message-Id: <11482E1A-309F-11D6-B892-0003934680DA@brown.edu> X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.481) Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org It seems that the only cards that one can use to capture video under FreeBSD are the Brooktree based ones using the bktr driver.

I thought the GATOS project just released binaries (that's all I found when I was trying to get XFree working with Redhat in the lab). I would have never expected a binary patch compiled for Linux to work with FreeBSD. At least ATI users have support though, so that's good. = -- = \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-multimedia Wed Mar 6 15:39:50 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Received: from mired.org (dsl-64-192-6-133.telocity.com [64.192.6.133]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 0B99137B400 for ; Wed, 6 Mar 2002 15:39:45 -0800 (PST) Received: (qmail 78275 invoked by uid 100); 6 Mar 2002 23:39:42 -0000 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-ID: <15494.43198.351488.323764@guru.mired.org> Date: Wed, 6 Mar 2002 17:39:42 -0600 To: Jeb Boniakowski Cc: freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org Subject: Re: MPlayer Video output In-Reply-To: <77F12DF7-313D-11D6-B892-0003934680DA@brown.edu> References: <20020306195809.0ac827c3.doktorn@realworld.nu> <77F12DF7-313D-11D6-B892-0003934680DA@brown.edu> X-Mailer: VM 6.90 under 21.1 (patch 14) "Cuyahoga Valley" XEmacs Lucid X-face: "5Mnwy%?j>IIV\)A=):rjWL~NB2aH[}Yq8Z=u~vJ`"(,&SiLvbbz2W`;h9L,Yg`+vb1>RG% *h+%X^n0EZd>TM8_IB;a8F?(Fb"lw'IgCoyM.[Lg#r\ From: "Mike Meyer" X-Delivery-Agent: TMDA/0.48 (Python 2.2 on freebsd4) Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Jeb Boniakowski types: > For reference, the GATOS stuff for ATI TV out (and watching tv in > overlay mode) is source-compatible with FreeBSD.

If you have any trouble getting it to work, mail me. I just set up a ATI AIW Pro in a FreeBSD box. I can now get vid and audio full screen on my tv using Xine. If you want to capture video, or do anything with the video besides decode it, go with Linux. Just dl XF86 4.2, compile, get GATOS from CVS (with -r devel option), patch GATOS for Mach64, build GATOS, install the Xine port from ports/graphics/xine, plug in a TV, reboot, start X, start Xine, load your VCD and your set. Note: this process will take 9,000,000 hours if you don't have XFree86. Actually, the whole thing is kind of a PITA, but it's the same on linux cause GATOS doesn't have TV out under X in the main source tree yet, and there's that Mach64 patch issue. Here's a link to the patch you need to get the AIW working though: http://www.xfree86.org/pipermail/xpert/2001-December/013825.html here's the gatos page with instructions: http://gatos.sourceforge.net/watching_tv.php Scroll down to "Adventurous Setup" and ignore all the stuff about km, AVView, and drm-kernel. Just install the ati.2 driver. jeb.

If this is a driver for XFree86-4, then you don't need the linux emulation, they are designed to be OS independend so you are able to use them on every OS with the same machine architecture. At least this is how it is intended to be. If some does some nasty things in a driver, it may get OS dependend, but then this is a "bug".

I also have TV card in my computer which worked fine for me before I upgraded my system with this new mainboard... Well, now I have the problem that my only possibilty to watch tv using 320x240 which is rather low and not even sharp. Yesterday I started as usual my tv program (fxtv) and it worked - i was able to watch tv using 800x600 and it was damn sharp. However, I restarted first fxtv which worked fine, and then restarted X. After it did work any more. This happened again today, but I have no idea why. I used pcitweak to list my devices to compare the options but when read out my agb (1:0:0) device i read to far (over 708) which caused my system to stop. After I had rebooted I again had the old problem. Is there any chance to "repair" this hardware problem in freebsd?
