[CinCVS] region free video?

2007-08-02 Thread Randolph

Hello,

I am interested in burning a region free video DVD.  Unfortunately, I 
do not know the parameters that go into making such a video.


Could someone please educate and/or enlighten me to the workings of a 
region free video and how to make one.  I have done searches on 
google, but I'm not getting a straight answer.


At the moment, I have an mpeg 4 type .mov video that I've created in 
cinelerra.  I've grinded out several formats of this file using ffmpeg.  
I am wondering if that film-dvd parameter in ffmpeg is the one that 
makes a region free video.  Then I could just arrange and burn in 
qDVDauthor


If that's not the solution, please let me know what must be done.
Thanks in advance,

Randolph

  Nice documentary AkhIL!

 Thanks!

  If that's your father, he's a very talented artist!

 Yes. He is my father.

  Of course, I
  don't understand Russian, but you don't really have to.

 If you interested I can make subtitles and compress this video with
 better quality in the ogg-theora-vorbis format. But I have no host to
 put such big video file.

  Good job on
  the effects and transitions.  I especially like him walking into his
  painting at the end.  Did you do that with masks?

 The mask was done in blender. But separating object from background
 mostly done with chromokey. You can get small making of here:

As far as I know, home-made videos are region-free.

It's the creation of a non-region free video that would be a problem. To
create such a video, you have to encrypt your video stream with (highly)
secrets keys only video editors have (since DECSS we have cracks to
decrypt such video, but I don't know if it's symmetric).

As long as you create unencrypted VOB files (as it seems you are now
doing by following the standard procedure), there is no chance your DVD
could be zone restricted in any way.

There are actually flags in the .IFO files that you could (in theory) set
to make a DVD region-restricted, even without encrypting the streams.  Of
course, it wouldn't be secure - but the encryption and region coding can
technically be turned on and off separately.  The default for any sensible
software will almost certainly be off for both.

It should be an option in the DVD authoring software.  I would expect
region-free to be the default.  In any case, it has more to do with the
DVD authoring than the video itself.

most likely be in SF sometime in the next 6 months since that's where

[CinCVS] software(s) to capture onscreen activity

Hey folks,
What software are people using to capture screen activity (ie, starting

captures of web browser activity into a Cinelerra project and wondered what 
programs people found best to do this.  My window environment is Gnome.

[CinCVS] Here's my latest video

2007-08-02 Thread Randolph

http://www.brightcove.com/title.jsp?title=1130047783
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGw8l0PdAWs

Thank you guys for responding to my question about what makes a video 
region free.  I would still like to format this video for a DVD, so I 
need some help with the ffmpeg command line.  

Does the film-dvd command leave the video region free?  Because I 
notice that refresh is reduced to about 24fps.  For example:


ffmpeg -i mymovie.mov -aspect 4:3 -target film-dvd mymovie.mpg

I have no idea if the above aspect ratio is correct for every TV.

I did the above video with a cheap little Kodak camera in its highest 
resolution (640x480).  The rest I edited in Cinelerra.  I think it came 
out OK - considering that I'm a total beginner in Cinelerra and all the 
other pipeline software.  (I'm still trying to find time to learn Blender)


The audio is the key in this video, but it needs the proper stereo 
orientation.  The video that you see on the web is only half potency 
because it does not provide proper spatial orientations, therefore, I 
would like to put it on DVD.


Thanks in advance,

Randolph

I've tried several, but my personal favourite and the only one I use now
is RecordMyDesktop:
http://recordmydesktop.iovar.org/

Advantages:
 - easily scripted - has good command line interface
 - records audio at the same time
 - captures to ogg/theora, easily converted to any other format
   with ffmpeg or mencoder
 - can record just one window, or a fixed screen area, or the whole 
   screen
 - window manager neutral

I've got a script which prompts for parameters, does the recording, then
encodes to flash video - if you're interested, give me a yell.

Screencasting can be very satisfying. I use it to teach my website
clients how to administer their sites, and they love it.

Cheers
David

Re: [CinCVS] software(s) to capture onscreen activity

2007-08-02 Thread Scott C. Frase
Christian,
Good call!  I hadn't done that before, but indeed, I tested it out and
Cinelerra CAN capture directly to the timeline!  NICE!  The rough steps
are:
1) go into Preferences - Recording
2) set Video In, Record Driver to Screencapture (set size of captured
frame here  FPS)
3) select your File Format and whether you want to capture audio, video
or both
4) apply your changes
5) press r for record and you'll see the Cinelerra Video In box popup
with the active display 
6) click the record button, which is the red, round button next to
Transport: and you'll start recording as noted by the Position
7) click the stop button, which is the white square button next to
Transport:
8) select your insertion strategy (I left mine at Paste at insertion
point
9) click the green checkmark or just hit enter to accept and paste your
captured video

Thanks to Richard, Eric and David for also responding to this email.  I
think Cinelerra comes to the rescue again!

Sweet!
scott

[CinCVS] Open Suse Compile

2007-08-02 Thread Dale Jovan Thomas
Hello group,

Has anyone ever got Cinelerra working under Suse 10.2? Everytime I try to
install the package it errors out and says the app is not installable. I was
thinking about compiling it, but Suse has been a pain in the butt just to
install. Any suggestions are welcome.

I have mine on Suse 10.2, got it from Packman, was a pain to install (a 
bunch of stuff was required), but so far is the most stable Cine I've 
had.  I'm sorry I am not much help - I sincerely do not remember what 
hoops of fire I had to jump through.  The only thing I can say is that 
it is possible, and it works (so far, knock on wood etc)
