Damn, y4mscaler and mpeg2enc are driving me crazy... =( Thanks for pointing me to yuvdeinterlace, Steven! I now use:
nice -19 lav2yuv record_01.avi | y4mshift -n -2 | y4mscaler -I active=744x560+12+8TL -O size=744x560 -S option=sinc:6 | yuvmedianfilter -T 3 | yuvdeinterlace -f | mpeg2enc -f 0 -V 500 -c -D 10 -E -10 -q 2 -K tmpgenc -o record_01_cvs.m2v However, as you see, I had to use the -f 0 flag for mpeg2enc. If I use the -f 8 flag as I did before, I have that error: **ERROR: [mpeg2enc] Horizontal size is greater than permitted in specified Level INFO: [y4mscaler] Frame number 1 INFO: [yuvdeinterlace] Scene-Change or field-mismatch. Copying field. INFO: [y4mscaler] Frame number 2 And then it stops. Anyway, my goal is to split my original "lavrec produced" .avi with glav. Then, I encode each part with the lav2yuv... command, and I load each video part in cinelerra. I need: - a good quality - a cropped video, with no black borders The picture quality using -f 0 with mpeg2enc is very bad. I mean there're some very large green blocks on the right border of the picture. Moreover, there're some parts of the image (with a lot of details) which are "blocky" How can I crop my pictures using y4mscaler? I tried, as given by Steven: y4mscaler -O sar=src size=704x480 But that does not produced the expected result... Thanks for the help Nicolas, Paris.
