[CinCVS] Wikis?

2007-01-12 Thread Kevin Brosius
I'm somewhat surprised looking at http://cvs.cinelerra.org/docs.php
today, as I see a lot of references to the new manual and a second
wiki.  I also see a comment that the old wiki content is in the new
wiki.

So, a couple questions and concerns:

Is the old wiki being removed?  It's moved to the bottom of the page
with a single reference, implying it is not needed anymore.

I find content that is not in the new wiki.  For example:

http://ftconsult.taxnetusa.com/twiki/bin/view/Cinelerra/SuSE

Does not appear in the installation section of the new wiki (the old
wiki contains a 'Distribution Specific Issues' page.)  I did not find
this content in the new wiki.

Which leads to my most serious concern.  The new wiki doesn't seem to
support a search feature.  Are we not supporting a local search?  I
attempted a google site specific search and failed to find any
occurrences of 'suse'.  (When I limit the search to the wiki.  The wiki
appears not to index in google.  I can search the posted html pieces of
the manual... which isn't really helpful, I don't think.)

Anyway, please don't suggest that the new manual wiki completely
replaces the old one, especially if content is left out.

[CinCVS] Cinelerra tutorials

Hello,

Does anyone here has already made tutorials about Cinelerra which aren't
named in the Cinelerra-CV documentation? While browsing the internet, I
was surprised to discover some tutorials which I never heard about.
Ga, Thanatermesis, don't you have anything to declare? ;-)

The fix works great for me in Cinelerra, but my version of mplayer refuses
to show the full picture. Cinelerra and ffplay show the full picture, but
mplayer just shows the top left quarter. I'm using:
mplayer-1.0-58_r21812.fc6.at

Re: [CinCVS] Options Converting Analog S-Video to Digital Video

2007-01-12 Thread Aaron Newcomb

Terje,

Perhaps you are looking for a high end solution, but for those that
want to do this cheap I know of a couple of options worth looking
into. I use a Haupaugge WinTVUSB2 device (otherwise known at the
pvrusb2) to capture svideo signals. It outputs in mpeg. Mike Isely has
done a fantastic job with the linux driver for this.

http://isely.net

Another inexpensive option would be a device from Neuros Audio. There
new OSD device looks really promising. I am pretty sure when I saw one
it had an svideo input.

On 1/10/07, Terje J. Hanssen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

As mentioned in my firts thread, "Preparing for Cinelerra on openSUSE
10.2", I'm sitting on a lot of analog Hi8 PAL tapes (S-video) containing
my recordings during 15 years. These analog sources have to be converted
to high quality digital video for backup purposes and later editing.

At first, A/DV converting might look to be straight forward. But
exploring the subject a little more, I think there are more to consider
to find the optimum options or solution. As a background to explain why,
I've extracted a couple of sections from Adobe's white paper, "DV
Compression Primer":

page 11
Analog-to-DV converters
---
Certain devices can perform a live conversion from analog video formats
to DV25 for capture. They usually offer composite, S-Video, and
unbalanced analog audio conversion to the DV format for storage on the
computer. The 25-Mbps data rate of DV is sufficient for content that
camcorders produce, but it can be troublesome for converting sources
with significant analog noise on lower-end versions of the converters.

page 13
Choosing the right capture codec
-
When you capture content, you must choose an appropriate codec. The
choice depends on the capture hardware you're using, the format from
which you're capturing, and your storage requirements. There are three
basic types of codecs to choose from: DV, Motion JPEG, and uncompressed.

DV codecs
The DV25 format is ideal when capturing from a DV25 deck. Over a
FireWire connector, you can use DV25 to copy the native bits from the
tape onto a hard disk, making a perfect copy. If you use a different
format at a higher data rate, the resulting video will be slightly lossy.

Using a DV bridge to convert analog source to DV25 may work, but the
quality lessens. The data rate of DV25 isn't quite enough for optimal
encoding from source with analog noise. Also, the 4:1:1 color space also
entails a loss in quality.

Motion JPEG codecs
Motion JPEG has been the leading format for high-end video-editing
systems for some time. The proprietary codecs supported by many vendors
of capture cards, for example the Targa and Pinnacle codecs, are
variants of Motion JPEG and share its properties.

Motion JPEG is 4:2:2, and most implementations allow you to specify a
data rate or quality level. Some implementations can even create a
mathematically lossless Motion JPEG. Typically, data rates of 50 Mbps or
greater are considered broadcast quality.

http://www.adobe.com/motion/primers.html

-

Reading the above, I wonder if converting using the DV25 codec
neccessary is the best format to preserve the original S-video quality
for NLE and backup purpose. Looks like both colors and video quality
from low light situations (noise) may suffer. NTSC DV 4:1:1 color
sampling is mentioned, 4:2:2 for MJPEG and 4:2:0 for PAL DV, and 4:2:0
also for DVD and HDV using MPEG-2 compression.

The typical DVD delievering format has previous been considered not to
be of interest in this context, because it is so much compressed that it
is expected unuseabel for later editing purposes. But now also HDV use
MPEG-2 and this format has also become possible to edit directly on
powerful hardware. Especially if there arise BD or HD-DVD burners that
can import and convert analog video to a less compressed digital format,
they will be of interest also as a editing format beside as a backup
medium already.


That is, is a typical A/DV convertor like Canopus ADVC 110 or Datavideo
DAC-200 using DV25 codec the only practical and best solution to
preserve initial S-video quality as converted to digital video?
So far I haven't seen it will be possible to preserve the Hi8 RCTC time
code, which also includes time and date of the recordings.
http://www.sirentechnology.co.uk/pages/products/categories/enc_conv/conv.htm

Well, from before I already have a useable Videonics MX-1 videomixer
with a built-in TBC. MX-1 has S-video IN/OUT and does internal apply a
digital conversion 13.5 MHz, 4:2:2 8 bit and resolution 5,0 MHz. Beside
I have a Videotech VCC3010 video corrector with individual RGB color
correction controls  (white balance). I plan to use these devices on the
analog stream before the A/DV converter, and therefore don't need these
features in a more costly A/DV convertors. Although color corrections
also can be done afterwards w

I changed the script to use only one file. I put the right size
in the four first bytes of the second line (after the #).
Try one of the joined files (depends on the 'tail' version).

This has been a frustrating day.  If I do the conversion with ffmpeg, it
complains about DRM in the audio stream. I hope I can fix that by compiling
a different version of the faac and faad2 libraries.

If I do the conversion with mencoder, I only get the top left quarter of the
original video scaled up to 720x480. mencoder thinks my 640x480 mpeg-4 video
is actually 320x240. I had the same problem in Cinelerra when I first
started using my Olympus C770 camera, but someone on the list pointed me to
a simple bash script which modified 4 bytes in the file header so that
Cinelerra handled the video properly. I've run the script and Cinelerra
handles the video properly, but mencoder still thinks the video is 1/4 of
the actual size. Any idea on why mencoder would see a different file size
than Cinelerra and ffmpeg?


[CinCVS] Batch rendering problems

2007-01-12 Thread Bruce Bertrand
Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble with batch rendering in both GUI and CL.

In GUI nothing happens when I hit "start", and the only new terminal
output is:
Render::run 100

In command line mode, I get:
Render::run: /path/to/first/file.edl
Render::run: failed
Render::run 100
(program exits back to prompt)

I believe I've accurately followed the relevant instructions from the
manual found here
http://cvs.cinelerra.org/docs/split_manual_en/cinelerra_cv_manual_en_19.html

My Cinelerra version is Cinelerra 2.1CV  SVN 977M

Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Bruce
