-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi everybody,
I am informing you of an annoying bug I just noted re: cropdetect in reencoding. First of all, some history. Some time ago (~1 year) I prepared a snippet of code for freevo , that nowadays sits inside the reencoding service: when you ask freevo to reencode a video, the freevo 'encodingserver' tries to detect cropping; the command to do that is (more or less) 'mplayer -vf cropdetect -vo null -nosound -sstep S video' where S was prepared so as to get ~20 frames at reasonable spacing in the video, so as to be fast but also to sample around the video to get good cropping parameters. At the time I wrote that code, it worked as a charm. But in the recent past I realized that on all TV shows that I am recording and reencoding, cropping was never done... for some time I thought that this was due to commercials, that are not letterboxed, and foul the crop detection; but after a lot of fiddling around, I found out that actually 'mplayer -sstep S' is broken; if I use it on any video in my freevo box, no frames are output on screen. The bug is already reported in http://bugzilla.mplayerhq.hu/show_bug.cgi?id=1228 What to do? looking around, I found that an alternative way to achieve the same result is 'mplayer -vf framestep=I,cropdetect -vo null -nosound video' but unfortunately it is much much slower, and the RPC connection between client and encodingserver times out before it ends; I am tring to find a workaround. a. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkky/eQACgkQ9B/tjjP8QKRHCQCfW9QW1oZ+8k/4BFYh8iWD2Gje 5OAAn36MlN7M9Bdy00XKL1nAJyn9qOqh =Nit1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Freevo-devel mailing list Freevo-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-devel
