Sadly, it seems my audio read error is back. I'm not sure what caused it, but it appears to have resurfaced after a crash that occurred when I tried to insert frames from the clipboard. Unfortunately, that crash yielded absolutely no debug information. All I can say for sure is that I can reproduce it 100% just by copying any arbitrary number of frames to the clipboard and attempting to insert them into another loaded clip. Using the clipboard to create a new clip doesn't cause a problem, only inserting into an existing clip. As for the audio read error, it seems to have resurfaced after recovering from the crash, possibly after performing the suggested disk space cleanup. It may help to know that the clip I was trying to encode started with a single frame, which I copied nearly 300 times and applied fades at beginning and end. This frame initially had no audio, so I loaded a new audio clip before I attempted the encoding process. Due to the packet size error, I was preparing to encode manually using ffmpeg by modifying the command from a webm encode so that I could get ffv1+pcm, but in this case, I never received the debug output for the ffmpeg command, as the audio error appears to have occurred very quickly, before ffmpeg was attempted. My encoder log showed a previous attempt to use mencoder_encoder.
Regarding formats, I didn't realize that Dirac was available, as the multi_encoder didn't appear to be working here. For some reason, it doesn't show up in the encoder options, so I'm guessing I'm probably missing something optional that is a multi_encoder requirement, but is not listed in the optional dependencies for the lives PKGBUILD. I've heard a lot of good things about Dirac, so I'll give your new options with Dirac+Vorbis in mkv a shot as well. Thanks again for all your help. P.S> Does the -debug option create a file anywhere that I could read and send in case it could help? Also as a side note, do you have any plans to support opus for audio encoding? I've been using it for music and audio production for some time, and the quality of that codec is simply beyond amazing, and ffmpeg can support putting it into both ogg and mkv video containers. Not sure whether Mencoder supports it, but my guess is that since it uses avi by default, opus probably won't work well in avi. Well anyway, that's just a random wishlist kind of thing, so probably could get its own thread, or better yet, possibly a feature request on SourceForge once I finally get my account set up. The most important thing is the question of the debug file. -- "Don't judge my disability until you are able to see my ability." ~Kyle: https://kyle.tk/ My chunk of the internet: https://chunkhost.com/r/Kyle ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming!
