[libdv-dev] DV decoding performance

[Rodney S. <ro...@bi...>]

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone had any performance statistics for libdv?  On
the main page at SourceForge it says:

"Performance is still in need of major improvement: we are currently
 several times slower than real-time on typical hardware."

I had a look at the basic task list, which shows that there are quite a
few performance enhancements being worked on.  How close to real-time is
the decoding now, and can anyone give me a basic idea of where the main
performance bottlenecks are?  On a powerful machine, is currently possible
to get real time performance?

I have ordered a copy of the standard from SMPTE and hope to help your
development in any way that I can.  Any information would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
