It is. OpenML is to video hardware what OpenGL is for graphics hardware. > another thing I find weird is the lack of responds from the developers to > the forum they host, and the fact they complitly ignored existing > techonologies like openAL. OpenML is more aimed at video than audio. Also OpenAL is _not_ a the API of choice when doing normal, i.e. non 3d, audio. > I'm not sure it's a good idea to count on them, > I hope the open standard community would release a better more community > aware standard I'm hoping they decide to open up more, which I think is planned. A lot of the companies involved are also with OpenGL. Perhaps sending them an email requesting the availability under the same conditions as the OpenGL sample implementation would be a good idea? Note that the standard itself _is_ available. Linux does lack a good video API at the moment... --ms > > Ely Levy > System group > Hebrew University > Jerusalem Israel > > > > On Mon, 17 May 2004, Jon Smirl wrote: > > > I'm looking at the OpenML spec and it covers the areas that we have been > > discussing plus a lot more.
