Hey vegac, does the pixeltex route not scale using textures? Surely Octanes at least have enough oomph for an extra context switch and a glCopyTexSubImage2D()? I seem to recall seeing 240 MPixels/sec quoted for SSE, a PAL stream is only like 10 or something...

The problem with the idea of the initial buffering is that no matter how big of a buffer you make, it will eventually run out because the slower O2's can't keep up with the codec...

Meaning: Even if you buffer 10 frames, by the time you hit frame 15 your buffer is depleted and you're lagging again - the only way to really do this would be to buffer enough to compensate for the remaining of the decode time - ...

well, you *could* introduce commercials ... [ ducking and running ]

I had started working on a render-to-texture approach (basically working just like the O2's dmbuffer setup, only without the dmbuffers) but was getting errors about creating a 1024x512 texture + a 1024x512 pbuffer (needed for any video with a width larger than 512 and a height larger than 256 pixels). I'm assuming it came down to lack of vram but hey, all I have is an O2 so it's hard for me to test / debug these sorts of things.

The code is (mostly) in there so some adventurous soul could search through vo_sgi.c for references to use_rendertotex

PBuffers on SGIs are kind of weird .. I guess you might run out of luck.

Good idea, but there are some issues:

Code:

   Note: This extension is an SGIX (experimental) extension. The interface or other aspects of the extension may change. The extension is currently implemented only on InfiniteReality systems.

Shouldn't the pbuffer be the same size as the video? There's no power of two restriction, is there? I don't have TRAMs so I can't really play with this either :)

lewis:
You know you're right, for non-O2 machines the pbuffer wouldn't need to be a power-of-two size (that only is needed for O2 to do the copy-by-reference dmbuffer stuff). That's what I get for copying/pasting code, right?

Still, I'm not in any position to test it right now as all I have is my O2, and I'm about to be out of town for a week, but someone might want to play with it?

In that Warcraft video demo, I get 0.5fps or so, untill I hit an arrow key to fastforward/rewind.

Then I get about 20fps for a few seconds, then back to 0.5fps. I think it is only decoding I-frames or the like?

Sure!; just pass me an url to get the tar.gz, and I'll do happily!

well, source code and patches are both in the tardist.. :pixeltex is odyssey/mgras only though, so you'd have the same problem as vegac in this case :-)

i'll try to experiment with it further asap (probably not this week though)

Wow. This is really an amazing example of talent and teamwork. Congradulations all around on a very fine job. Once again, I am moved by how this place facilitates great things. Neko, if you are browsing this -- know you made this happen as much as anyone else. Thanks all!

CPU usage is always under 90%,, about 45% on each CPU (max is 200%).
The defaults are nicer to look at (e.g. blacker blacks) than the -vo sgi:pixeltex command line option, but that latter is a smidgen faster. Both are very watchable even at 1920x1200 full screen.

I'll give it a try on the UltimaVision tomorrow. Let me know what else I should try.

Lastly, I intend to take up the native Motif front-end challenge in due course. But would like for a more artistically inclined contributor to sketch out (say a RGB image) of how it should look (be shaped?). I know from my Performer lessons, that graphics context switches between motif and OpenGL can hurt performance so we'll have to watch out for that.
