[M4IF Technotes] Reference codec and scalability

[Janne Vehkaperä]

Hi,
   I have few problems with the Microsoft reference codec and scalability 
options in it
and I would appreciate if someone could help me. First of all,  I have 
tried to use
temporal and spatial scalability options and I always get the same error 
notes from
the encoder. Error note says:
	"Error!  Unexpected end of file while reading source sequence".
It's like the encoder couldn't find the source YUV-file after encoding the 
first frame.
The error note always appear after the first encoded frame, so what do I do 
wrong?
And could someone tell me where I can get more information about the 
scalability
parametres in parameter file.
   I have also problems with FGS reference codec. My Visual C++ 6.0 cannot 
build
the encoder without errors during the linking. So I was wondering, is this 
FGS encoder
ready or is still under construction? If it is not ready yet, could someone 
tell me
when it should be? I was also wondering where I can get more information 
about the
FGS-server program, which is included in the FGS reference software? Is 
there any
user's manual or helpfile available about the FGS-server ?Thank you in advance
for your assistance.
