Haha. :)  No magic is required.  The packager should send a message
giving permission to add their packages to the web site.  We don't want
another incident of the host yelling that the packages are not for

Re: [CinCVS] again, interlacing

2007-04-21 Thread Kurt Georg Hooss

jonas  joe, thanks for advice.
jonas, i think it is o.k. to have interlaced video
 if it ist to be shown from dvd on a tv set.
 
from joe's comments, i understand that it might be better
 to render video and audio into two separate streams,
 audio into ac3 and video to yuv4mpeg (instead of dv.mov).

doing so, i got a popup with the following error messages from cinelerra:

int YUVStream::read_header(): y4m_read_stream_header() failed:
bad stream or frame header

int YUVSream::open_read(char*): Bad YUV4MPEG2 header:
parameter out of range

however a working stream was generated,
and after multiplexing i could put the result directly into todisc
to make a dvd. no field swapping anymore. great. fantastic!

so again, thank you very much, i am impressed.
georg

  hi folks,
  maybe not a cinelerra problem in the strictest sense,
  however maybe someone here can hint me where to look.
 
  i have made a movie on dvd using kino (for grabbing),
   cinelerra (for editing and rendering to q4l.mov),
   tovid (for converting to dvd-compatible .mpg), and dvdauthor.
 
  when watching the results on the computer screen,
  there were the typical comb-like artifacts in horizontal movements,
  which actually did not really disturb me.
 
  however when watching the movie on a dvd player / tv screen,
  then all horizontal movements show such an intense flickering
  that it really gives me a headache, also with strong comb effects.
 
  the only sensible explanation seems that the fields are played
  in reverse order, i.e. say if the camera records top fields first,
  then the player shows bottom fields first, or vice versa.

 I would agree with that -- it sounds like the fields are playing in
 reverse order.

  to find out, i have experimented with the format settings in cinelerra
  and rendered four versions of a little test scene, each time starting
   cinelerra from scratch, setting the format, loading footage, rendering:
 
  1. Preset PAL (interlace mode goes automatically to bottom fields
  first),
 
  2. then changed interlace mode to none, without changing anything else,
 
  3. and to top fields first,
 
  4. and finally with preset PAL Progressive (50 fps).
 
  I have then converted these four test movies (tovid -pal -dvd ...)
  and combined them onto a test dvd (todisc -pal -dvd ...). but when
  playing on the dvd player + tv, all four looked the same, horribly
  flickering.
 
  so maybe it is not so much a problem with rendering in cinelerra,
  but with interlacing (and possibly swapping fields) in tovid, i don't
  know. anyone here who had any similar experiences?

 This is probably the best explanation, but it may depend on how you're
 rendering. Cinelerra at one point had dv-encoding struggles. In my
 experience, it was mainly a loss in quality as blocks became more
 visibly obvious. But there have been some discussions about libdv and
 I think these abnormalities have been resolved.

 I'm assuming that this is the case and that Cinelerra is correctly
 rendering back to quicktime for linux. My next question is why you are
 rendering to DV and then to MPEG when Cinelerra can go directly to
 MPEG with a pipe. See
 http://pengi.films.googlepages.com/shizuocha-pp_footage for an
 example; scroll down to the 'Exporting' section.

 Finally, I'm glad that you're using tovid to convert your footage! I'm
 one of the developers, and recently a user has added some excellent
 instructions about DV and bottom-fields-first interlacing encoding on
 our wiki: http://tovid.wikia.com/wiki/Dvsd_field_order_and_mplayer
 We're adding his efforts into the code base.

 It sounds like you have discovered some bugs in tovid as well, so
 please post about your experiencies on the mailing list or the forum:
 http://tovid.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page#Help

Great! I'm glad that it worked well. Those pop-up messages are new to

Re: [CinCVS] High Definition Input

2007-04-21 Thread Aaron Newcomb

I am getting very serious about getting a new camera and I am leaning
toward the Canon HV20. If I get one in the next few weeks I will
definitely give this a try and let you know. Now if we could just get
the blackmagic HDMI card working in Linux ...

 I just sent an updated dvgrab patch to the kino-dev mailing list,
 which is much improved.  Since there is interest on this list too,
 I'll attach a (bzip'ed) version here since everyone may not be on the
 kino-dev list.  Apply the same as before of course.  See --help for
 new options, specifically --hdv and --format mpeg2 are of interest.
 Also I added --showstatus because I like seeing exactly what's going
 on during capture...

 If anyone tries this with a non-Sony camera, please let me know if it
 does or doesn't work...and, if I could get some non-Sony HD sample
 clips, I would appreciate it...I pull the timecode, recording date,
 and scene change info out of a non-standard mpeg2 extension (i.e. Sony
 extension) so I'd like to see how other manufacturers put that info
 in.

 Thanks!

   To apply the patch Download cvs dvgrab 2.x copy the patch to that directory

   patch -i whatever the name of the patch is.patch
   then build as normal.
   To use the patch if you type dvgrab --help you will notice there is a new
  option mpeg2 . Thats the hdv patch.
   capture by using dvgrab --mpeg2
   I'm using a sony hcr3
 
   Using   test-mpeg2 I did not get avc control and got it working by running:
   test-mpeg2 | dvcont play
 
   Alas current cinelerra-cvs still has playback bug unresolved rendering 2

 There are three ways:

 1) mpg1394grab, which is distributed as a single file of C source
  code.
   
No idea how to install this, unfortunately
  
   It's rather obscure, and quite deprecated since libiec61883 came
   around. I have mirrored the single C source file here:
   http://www.nuug.no/pub/herman/mpg1394grab.c
  
   It must be linked with libraw1394
  
   That's the part I don't know how to do.
 
  
 2) test-mpeg2, which is found in the _source_ package for libiec61883
 (available in Ubuntu's repositories)
   
Synaptic says the libiec61883 library is installed, but I presume this
is terminal stuff. When I type test-mpeg2 -h in, it's an
unrecognizable command.
  
   Not part of the binary package. It's one of the examples in the
   source package. You can install and build that. Not much to it. :-)
  
   If you know how. (;-)) I used to work in computers, but it was a long
  time ago and in FORTRAN IV.
 
  
 3) A patched version of dvgrab. This is apparently the most robust
 alternative, as it does proper buffering.

I found the patch online, but have no idea how to install it.
  
   Nor do I. About time to suggest the patch to the developers of
   dvgrab, or create a hdvgrab fork.
  
   Good idea. Or, an upgrade to Kino, or the Cinelerra poeple could add
  it with the DV capability when they get around to it.
