The subject line speaks for itself. I agree that using the quicktime wrapper as an intermediate format is a good thing, especially when it contains jpeg video frames. However, the sound support seems pretty dismal. To minimize audio drift I think the best intermediate audio formats are uncompressed (or pcm). However, the defacto standard for pc pcm sound (pcm_s16le) (and no, I'm not going to debate the validity of the "defacto standard" comment) is not correctly imported into cinelerra from an ffmpeg created quicktime file of mjpeg and pcm. the audio tracks are blank. I've tried a couple of the other formats and they also seem to be lacking. The mulaw import format does import sound, but with a cyclic pop or chirp throughout the sound track.
I read documentation the the adpcm_imaqt is a good choice but I got nothing when I tried it. using the compressed audio formats gives totally unacceptable audio drift. I've tried aac, mp2 and mp3. original format: AVCHD 1920x1080i @ 13mbps/~60fps (H264/AC3) processed as follows: ffmpeg -i 01.MTS -vcodec mjpeg -deinterlace -s 848x480 -r 29.97 \ -sameq -acodec pcm_s16le -ac 2 -ab 48000 out.mov importing the out.mov gives a timeline that contains the correct video, but blank audio tracks So, what is the intermediate format that should be used in cinelerra that will work and will not exhibit audio drift? _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
