Mock Codec

Mock implementations of the Alfalfa coder/decoder, built with ffmpeg.

• import: convert arbitrary input on stdin to raw video (yuv4mpegpipe) on stdout

  Example: ./import <example.vp8 >example.y4m

• encode: convert raw video (yuv4mpegpipe) on stdin to VP8 on stdout

  Example: ./encode <example.y4m >example-compressed.vp8

• decode: convert VP8 video on stdin to raw video (yuv4mpegpipe) on stdout

  (Similar to import, but requires the input to be in VP8 IVF format.)

  Example: ./decode <example.vp8 >example.y4m

• watch: play raw video (yuv4mpegpipe) from stdin on X display

  Example: ./watch <example.y4m

• example.vp8, example2.vp8, example3.vp8: sample VP8 (IVF) files for testing
