Can't access the FFMPEG-plugins

[Ned Horning]

Hi -

I would like to be able to read different video formats such as
Quicktime (.MOV) and compressed AVI on multiple operating systems to do
some stack processing. I wanted to see if using the ffmpeg-plugins would
help but can not access the site:
http://fiji.sc/~schindelin/ffmpeg-plugins. In the updater I see the site
but get an error "Not a valid URL" when I check that update site in the
Manage update sites window. Any idea if that site is still active or
what I might be doing wrong?

For now the plugin is working with uncompressed AVI files but those
files are quite large and the conversion process might scare off some users.

Lastly, does anyone have pointers regarding reading video in ImageJ?
Most of what I have read isn't very encouraging but it seems as if
people are working on it.

Ned

I reinstated that update site for now. Note, however, that I was unable to
rebuild the plugins without test failures. The intermediate plan is to
move toward using http://code.google.com/p/javacv/ rather than my own
attempt at wrapping LibAV/FFMPEG in a maintainable way.

Ciao,
Johannes
