Hello,

I found this old article about Nokia's Mobile 3D Video codec: MVC.

"Nokia's MVC Software
Nokia Research Center has developed a highly optimized MVC decoder running on Maemo platform, and demonstrated a natural real-time 3D movie playback on a modified Nokia N800 internet tablet with an integrated auto-stereoscopic display. The prototype was showcased at IEEE 3DTV-CON and Nokia World 2008. The source code implementing the 3D Video playback demos mentioned above is available for download now. The Nokia’s MVC software includes two modules:
1. MVC Encoder, which runs in PC and configured to generate MVC compliant bitstreams
2. MVC Decoder is a player, fully optimized for the Maemo platform, and decodes stereoscopic MVC bitstreams. "



I haven't found any articles on TMO discussing it so I have a few questions.

1. Would it be possible to use MVC on the N900?
2. If so, could it be used to help video playback improvements of none 3d, HD, or any other video hacks that we all have been hoping for?
3. Could it be implemented into the MeegoDE build?

I don't know anything about coding and codecs so this may not be possible. I am aware that this was demonstrated on a N800 but hopefully it will work on a N900.

Information and the source code can be found here:

I hope some of our brilliant minds will find this useful in one of the community projects.

Thank you for your time,

As for the codec itself I dont know it says they developed and it seems abandoned the project in 2008 and for N800 will it work for N900?

Unless you are awesome with a soldering iron, 3D will be a bit complicated
no idea about usefullness for other purposes, though.

lol yeah.

I would hope it could be used for general video codec upgrades or compatibility. I saw that the download includes a dsp file.....

But hey, what do I know...

It would probably have been doing 400x200 or something like that on N8x0, or less. Considering the full resolution of the N900 display can be used for videos as-is with h264 and mpeg4, I'm not sure this would be a "codec upgrade", as h264 is pretty good...
