Re: [GnomeMeeting-devel-list] Fullscreen

[Craig Southeren <craigs postincrement com>]

To all,

I've posted this several times on the OpenH323 list, but as I've not
posted here. So here goes.

The OpenH323 project has been fortunate to have have had an
implementation of the H.263 codec with an RFC 2190 transport funded and
contributed by AliceStreet. This codec is based on the ffmpeg project,
and has been implemented by Guliem Tardy.

I would like to get this code into PWLib as soon as possible, but right
now the priority is getting a stable code base for GM 1.0. In light of
this, and because I happen to be working on plugin audio and video
codecs for OpenH323, Damien and I have agreed that H.263 will not be in
GM 1.0.

Once this is done, we will make H.263 available as a plugin video codec.

   Craig
