mpeg encoder for Davinci

Hello,



I am working on TI Davicni board(DM6437). I have installed virtuallogix linux on it. I am trying to implement a video server. Now, i am able to run a streaming server(LIVE555). The problem is i need to convert the jpegs into mpeg. I tried to cross compile ffmpeg, it is quiet slow (took 1 day for compilation). So, i dropped ffmpeg, now trying mjpeg streamer for encoding, but facing compilation errors (Frontc.ParseError and symbol referencing errors). I dont understand what is wrong. Can any body suggest any mpeg encoders for arm based dsps.

AFAIK DaVinci processor can't handle the real time encoding with the bare power of the ARM using open source, generic encoders (ffmpeg etc.). You need an encoder that takes advantage of the TI-specific DSP accelerations, by using a commercial encoder (i.e. big $$, especially for the DM64xx family).

You have a point there, but my project aim is to evaluate the dsp only, i am not going to use it for commercial purposes

Please re-read the lamah's comment. It was not about commercial applications, it was about commercial vs. free libraries of encoding routines.

Perhaps you can find a free trial of one of the commercial libraries.

For evaluation only you can use the demonstration CODECs shipped with the DVDP:

I can't see any real alternative here.

Totally incomprehensible.
