[MPlayer-dev-eng] Lagarith Lossless Video Codec - binary dll but opensource

[Gianluigi Tiesi]

A guy on irc pointed me to this codec,
it seems interesting, multithread encoding is
fast (36 fps on a amd64 x2 1.7ghz)

it's a binary vfw codec, but it is opensource
so a native implementation can be made

it works fine on mplayer/mencoder both linux and win32

web: http://lags.leetcode.net/codec.html

conf for codecs.conf:

videocodec lagarith
  info "Lagarith Lossless Video Codec"
  comment "http://lags.leetcode.net/codec.html"
  status working
  fourcc LAGS
  driver vfw
  dll "lagarith.dll"
  out BGR32,BGR24 flip

correct me if out is wrong, I really never understood how it really
works :)
