Are the end .bax files supposed to end up being like 100mb? They were like 2mb as ivf.

Edit: nvm, I'm an idiot.
Here's my boot screen, specially for those Nadesico fans out there.

(Not the worst necropost I've ever done.)
How am I supposed to convert my .mp4 to a .ivf so that I can use it with this? The only results I can find are for the exact opposite.

You could try reading the README...

You can transcode any video supported by ffmpeg into IVF by running ffmpeg -i "input.video" -f ivf "output.ivf".

If your source video resolution isn't the required you can also do ffmpeg -i "input.video" -f ivf -vf scale=<WIDTH>:240,fps=<FRAMERATE> "output.ivf", with "WIDTH" being either 400, 320 or 720 and "FRAMERATE" being between 1 and 60.

Is this still alive?
I'm not actively developing it any further but it still works just fine. I just haven't had any time to work on it and there's not a lot to improve on, maybe swapping framebuffer addresses instead of using GPU DMA and improving the transcoder (especially the latter). If there are any bugs I'll fix them ASAP.

Lately I've been thinking about getting back to BAX, ironing out some of the bugs, cleaning up the code, etc, but I don't really know what to add to it.

So, suggestions are accepted! (other than sound support, or faster background loading...)

Would linux executables being included in releases for makebax be one? Itd be useful but it's fine if you dont want to do it.

The problem with bundling linux executables is dependency hell - the copy built in my system might require some library it doesn't need on yours, and let's not even get into architecture differences (i386 vs amd64 vs everything else).

My current idea is to transform makebax into a web service of sorts, so you could upload an mp4 file (or a link to one), the server automatically grabs it and converts it internally into a BAX file for immediate use. Dunno how doable it is without a VPS though, but if needed I'll pay for one (the source code to the server code would also be open source, for maximum transparency).
