<div dir="ltr">Hello,<br><br>I'm working on a project using java and jvlc to basically simulate and preview a cable set top box experience, that will involve some simple overlays.<br><br>Target OSes are Windows and Mac OS X (with my own personal goal of Linux - which shouldn't be hard to meet if I can use jvlc).<br>
<br>My current plan of attack for the video overlay portion is, just to use non-hardware accelerated video playback (i.e. not using DirectShow or similar hardware accelerated video output modules), and overlaying a panel I can put widgets on overtop the video.<br>
<br>Of course, being able to support hardware acceleration video output would be great to have, so I am curious what the current status of the 'Dynamic Video Overlays' project is. From reading the <a href="http://wiki.videolan.org/SoC_2007_Project_Dynamic_Video_Overlays">SoC 2007 Project Dynamic Video Overlays page</a>, it appears that this code lies partially completed, and uncommitted.<br clear="all">
<br><br>So, my question is:<br>How far along is this project in terms of it's completion?<br><br>A followup would be - Where can I find the code to poke around with?<br><br><br>Should I be posting this on the vlc-devel mailing list? I hesitated to do that initially, as I didn't want to contribute to lowering the SNR.<br>
<br>BTW - Great job with the current progress of VLC 0.9.0 -- it's looking great!<br><br>-- <br>Keith Kyzivat<br></div>
