[Schrodinger-devel] Schroedinger-1.0.11

[David S. <ds...@sc...>]

Schroedinger 1.0.11
===================

A new release of Schrödinger is available. Schrödinger (or “schro”
for short) is a cross-platform implementation of the Dirac video
compression specification as a C library. Many media frameworks
such as GStreamer and ffmpeg and applications such as VLC use schro
to encode and decode Dirac video.

The Dirac project maintains two encoder implementations: dirac-research,
a research encoder, and Schrödinger, which is meant for user applications.
Schrödinger outperforms dirac-research in most encoding situations, both
in terms of encoding speed and visual quality.

Roadmap:  Only a few people are working on schro, and only part time,
so new features will happen only slowly.
