On the above four screenshots one can see a simple mono application running in four different environments – windows xp, linux, nokia 770 and nokia n800. The binary has been compiled once and executed without any changes on...21.Jan.2007
A while back lupus did a great job of porting mono to run on arm. I did some raw experimenting over the weekend and managed to get the whole C# gtk stack running on the N800. The initial impressions are very positive – pretty fast startup ...26.Nov.2006
It seems one of the more annoying limitations of NFlick was it’s inability to display photos that don’t belong to any photoset (unsetted photos). A lot of flickers don’t use photosets at all, and for them NFlick wouldn’t sh...10.Jul.2006
I did some tinkering with NFlick yesterday and just released the 0.2 version. NFlick is an application to quickly browse your flickr photos sets. A cafe-like “I want to show you that photo” solution. Package for Nokia 770 Source cod...23.Jun.2006
GUADEC is spinning up! I’m arriving in Barcelona at 14:30, and we’re meeting up with Philip and Andreas at the Vienna gate (15:30) to share the trip to Villanova. Feel free to join us. The Diva talk will happen at Tuesday around ~15:...27.Mar.2006
I’m glad to announce that Diva 0.0.1 will be released shortly. Here is a small preview with some hands-on demo movies: Demo 1 XviD / Mpeg4 – Starting a new project, importing video/music/photos into the project, managing the media as...13.Nov.2005
I was recently watching a popular ex-comunistic cartoon called “Wolf and Hare”. If you happen to be old enough & born somewhere in the central-eastern Europe you surely know this forty-years old brilliant piece of Russian animation...06.Nov.2005
So now for some Diva news… During the past month I was basically rewriting the whole engine part from scratch. It’s not 100% done yet, but the overall design is already there. It’s modularized, extensible, and should be enough t...21.Sep.2005
Looks unimpressive but this rocks. Three video clips playing smoothly (simultaneously) using OpenGL hardware scaling, blending, filtering and composing. Now the plan is to expose all the composition parameters via automation interface so that ...03.Sep.2005
While working on Diva I developed a library (Gdv) to encapsulate all the GStreamer internals. At first I wanted to tightly integrate that into Diva, but at some point it became obvious that Gdv can be a stand-alone library for higher-level access ...26.Aug.2005
I ported my whole drawing to Cairo: It’s slightly slower than the pixbuf sprite-based drawing I used before, but hopefully this will improve in future (Glitz?). It’s also much more sane in programming terms, since all the pixel-grai...25.Aug.2005
It seems there is a lot of talking regarding video editing on Linux recently. That’s good. PiTiVi got some attention, and I recommend you to check it out. It looks pretty interesting. Harvey and I we have same goals but much different ways t...16.Aug.2005
Thanks to Edward I got interested in what the GStreamer guys are cooking for the next release. After some some chattering on #gstreamer I got seduced into checking out gstreamer 0.9 CVS. The new API & features are very interesting and I decide...05.Aug.2005
This week I managed to bind all the various DIVA elements together and make them play nicely. I’ve got the skeleton of the video editor pretty much working. On the second shot you can see the frames mode which is very usefull. This is...21.Jul.2005
If you’re looking for something absolutely extraordinary to watch – look no futher. Just grab Starewicz shorts collection on a DVD. You’ll be amazed, I tell you. Starewicz was a russian animator of polish origins (1882 - 1965) ...30.Jun.2005
Today I started by making myself some test video material for furter timeline implementation testing. I was particularly interested if the sound doesn’t go out of sync with the audio, and if the timeline “cuts” at the excatly rig...Powered by Mephisto with a micro theme mod
