A sourceforge project is in the process of being created.

If you want to be added to this as a developer (when sf approves the it) please post here with your sourceforge username.

I'm not going to take an active role in this project, I've just been pursuaded by Cody to start it up. Heh.

If you want to start tinkering now, the homepage is here: http://www.nullsoft.com/free/avs/

However, please hold off on making any (big/important) changes until we have some kind of sourceforge-based source control going.

Lots of love,

Will

Wow, time to go find all those posts that said AVS WILL NEVER BECOME OPEN SOURCE and laugh hysterically. This could mean some good things if people can use this well. I might actually start taking the time to learn to use the new features and start AVSing again.

this is awesome.

my top 5 new feature wishlist:-

non-realtime output
double buffering on overlay while the editor is open
visualisation that runs while the GUI is being accessed
AVS as a plugin in other realtime/ non realtime packages
DV support

thanks boktor for showing me this!
i might even come out of 'retirement'...

But Jaak is right...

A plan is needed to go on from.. or else we will have 30 different and uncompatible versions of vis_avs.dll

Sweet, first job; add AVStrans / Glob variables to main dll...

Although will winamp be updated with it (unlikely) or will every pack wanting to use the new AVS have to include the required vis_avs.dll with it? In which case what sort version control will there be?

I know there aren't any answers to these questions, just thinking through text.

*jawdrops* whoa. I cant believe this finally happened. Although i'm not so good with programming, i can imagine the possibilities of an Open Source AVS. Hopefully someone from the many talented programmers here would make the one wish we've always been waiting for, Make AVS faster...maybe with hardware acceleration.

i guess we'll have to wait for that a bit longer.
But including some common ape's into AVS itslef seems much more likely to me.

But whatever you want to happen first, my main/only wish would be, that avs stays 'straight'. It'd be awfully bad if we had thousands of different crappy versions. So perhaps/hopefully/PLEASE new winamp-releases could contain the last (finished) open-source-AVS??

(also i'm holding back with my wishes, cause i most probably won't be able to support this project much. )

Had a bit of a lookie, bit gutted it wont compile under .NET, but it could be changed to do so (I hate the VC6 interface)

Gotta keep an eye on sourceforge, are you going to post here when its set up?

werd.

The reason we're setting up a sourceforge page is to try to keep the project in one piece rather than several forks. Also, to FINALLY give everyone else a chance to catch up =)

nope, libvisual is dedicated to a totally different cause: giving visualization plugins an interface to build upon while libvisual takes care of the player and maybe even OS support

it's about time too!! i think the most needed addition, although it would be the most complicated is hardware support

huge news. but, just as we've been patiently waiting for avs to become open source, we should be just as patient when it comes to its development. i'm no expert, but i'm pretty sure adding hardware acceleration support is a pretty complicated process, so let's remember codemonkeys are human, and cut em some slack

Adding hardware acceleration to AVS wouldn't be a good idea. And a duplication of effort.

I think the real thing will be maintaining avs and not expanding it too drastically. fixing the bugs and removing the poor UI design choices etc...

that and hardware would do little for avs. it certainly cant be added to existing components like superscope..

Count me in to replace render/avi by VfxAviPlayer.ape and keep compatibility with presets using the previous one.
I could also improve my addborder.ape as it is used in lots of presets packs.
