MoonVorbis - monogatari

Learning a bit more for doing the WebM on Moonlight project.

Thanks to the commenters that pointed me to this other project.

Update: It is Atsushi Enomoto, from Mono's team who is behind that blog and project. Nice to know...

Managed Commons including WebM subproject is at Github

Sorry, forgot to update here that the Managed Commons project now resides at Github: http://github.com/monoman/Managed-Commons

It includes the WebM subproject, that will allow reading/writing WebM files/streams generally and decode/play such streams in Moonlight.

Little time to work on it, so the progress is very slow, but if you want to contribute, please do: Fork it at Github and send those fantastic Pull Requests.

Also please post issues there to help guide/prioritize development, I'm trying to first be able to read the Matroska files, them I'll start the decoder and pump some video data, and last plug it into Moonlight. Writing streams/files has low priority at this point, unless someone really want to develop a video producing app, or a slideshow-to-video converter and want to contribute code and testing to that end.

Trying to Bring WebM Support into Moonlight

First step: porting Matroska's JEBML (a Java parser for EBML) to C#. EBML is the "binary xml" format that is the basis for the Matroska (thus WebM) container.

I tried to convert libebml2 (written in C) to C#, but it is too "unobjectifiable" and so I searched a bit more for some easier path. Didn't look at some of the C++ parsers available, but JEBML although looking a bit abandoned of late seems to model the main concepts and surely is a good starting point. JEBML is LGPL-licensed which should not compromise the whole effort.

Going with renaming .java files to .cs, and doing wholesale Find&Replace, but have to stop now, while it doesn't even compile yet. Tomorrow I hope to fix it into a somewhat compilable state, and then, I'll need to move to .NET system classes, and use generics to slim down the whole thing.

The sources so far were uploaded into my Managed.Commons group, later I'll decide if add a project on Google Code, or GitHub.
