Hi, Christian: I've been using the nerim.net repository ever since I started to use Debian long time ago, and had never had any problem before.
I was happy to find out that the transcode and ffmpeg all updated to the latest version recently, however, I found that the latest ffmpeg package is unusable -- it causes problem in many aspects. The ffmpeg that I'm talking about is: ffmpeg version CVS, build 3277056, Copyright (c) 2000-2004 Fabrice Bellard configuration: --prefix=/usr --libdir=${prefix}/lib --enable-shared --enable-mp3lame --enable-gpl --enable-faad --mandir=${prefix}/share/man --enable-vorbis --enable-pthreads --enable-faac --enable-xvid --enable-dts --enable-amr_nb --enable-amr_wb --enable-pp --enable-shared-pp --enable-libogg --enable-a52 --enable-a52bin --enable-x264 --enable-theora built on Dec 30 2005 15:07:33, gcc: 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13) First of all, the -target dvd can't be used any more. I have to specify -target pal-dvd or -target ntsc-dvd explicitly. Yeah this is not a big deal, but IIRC, it worked before. Secondly, -target xxx-dvd can't produced the correct DVD format any more. This is the biggest problem of all: $ ffmpeg -i "test-src.avi" -y -target pal-dvd -r 25.000 "test-src.mpg" $ tcprobe -i test-src.mpg [tcprobe] MPEG program stream (PS) [tcprobe] summary for test-src.mpg, (*) = not default, 0 = not detected import frame size: -g 720x576 [720x576] aspect ratio: 2.21:1 (*) frame rate: -f 25.000 [25.000] frc=3 PTS=0.5000, frame_time=40 ms, bitrate=9000 kbps audio track: -a 0 [0] -e 48000,16,2 [48000,16,2] -n 0x2000 [0x2000] PTS=0.5000, bitrate=448 kbps -D 0 --av_fine_ms 0 (frames & ms) [0] [0] The result, although sized at 720x576, is even wider than my 1024 screen when played on my PC, with no top/bottom black bars. The generated mpeg file cause problem with dvdauthor: $ dvdauthor -o dvdauth -t test-src.mpg WARN: unknown mpeg2 aspect ratio 4 [...] WARN: unknown mpeg2 aspect ratio 4 The dvdauthor result has distorted aspect. Thirdly, it does not work with transcode properly. The following is the correspondents between Erik Slagter and me: ,----- | > >> [transcode] V: decoding fps,frc | 23.976,1 [transcode] V: encoding | > >> fps,frc | 23.976,1 [mpeg2video @ 0xb5d2c110]removing common factors | > >> from framerate [mpeg2video @ 0xb5d2c110]MPEG1/2 does not support | > >> 2997/125 fps [export_ffmpeg.so] could not open FFMPEG codec | > > | > >> what's wrong? | > > | > > Looks like a bug in transcode.
