Cinelerra can encode that format natively, although you may get better results by encoding uncompressed video with Cinelerra and then transcoding to H.264 with ffmpeg. You might also try MPEG4/mp3 in a QuickTime container rather than an AVI container, I think MacOS supports that natively also. ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra

Re: [CinCV] Best practice? - audio editing
Hi, again, Just to update you on my progress, and thank you again for your kind help... 1. Installing JACK, Ardour, and xjadeo (qjadeo) wasn't as hard as I'd feared. (I'm doing without the RT kernel, since I won't be recording or playing back 'live'.) 2. Ardour is, indeed, very powerful and somewhat intimidating. But, in just one day, I've already learned how to do as much as Cinelerra does with audio. So, everything from now forward is icing on the cake. 3. xjadeo is slick, even if I don't strictly need it for my simple project. 4. JACK causes some conflicts with the audio hardware (e.g., Cinelerra and Kino don't seem to by JACK-aware); so I have to stop/start the JACK server, depending on my task at the moment. But, all in all, I'm moving forward quite smartly. Thanks again for your advice!

[CinCV] problem with screen size
Hi to all. No one is working with 16:9 video format? I'm using this format with journalistic shorts taken with a sony dcr-51 (like a handycam). I prefer 16:9 format and the video tracks are acquired with kino in DV wraw format. Every thing seems be ok, but when I prepare a DV render (16:9 format) from cinelerra, image is vertically stretched. I need to use Premiere (bleahhh) to reconvert the video in a real 16:9 format. You can see some examples of this kind of production on www.youtube.com/contestivideo Thanks to all. Enrico
