FFMPEG based Theora Video Decoder performance??

Hi,

I am in process of porting and optimization of the theora video decoder in the ffmpeg-0.5 package to ARM-Cortex-A8 -Neon processor @ 667 MHz.
I am looking for some target estimate for frames per second the decoder library alone should achieve after full optimization (C level and Neon assembly / Intrinsics) for 720x480 Progressive content for a 2Mbps stream.
I have a Real Video 9 decoder on cortex-A8 which gives around 40 fps for the same stream above.(720x480, 2Mbps)
How can i extrapolate this data based on relative complexities of RV9 and Theora and get a fps estimate for theora decoder Cortex-A8?

I am aware the performance depends upon the cache configuration of the h/w, etc...,but any
Any pointers will help.

Thanks,

-AD

Porting? Optimization? Huh?

The ffmpeg Theora decoder already supports ARM (there's no "porting" necessary) and has a great deal of assembly on ARM (there's not much "optimization" to be done either).

The theora decoder underwent many performance improvements (algorithmic improvements!) since the 0.5 release. Do use the current code from FFmpeg subversion repository. For a list of changes see e. g. the verion history of vp3.c.

That link was meant for ajitsdeshpande to point him to another theora ARM decoder codebase.
