Hello Scott,

That is a nice utility. Thank you very much.

[CinCV] Is it possible to get my own repo?

[Einar Rünkaru]

Hi.

I think that I have managed to fix Cinelerra-2.1CV locking problem.
It seems fix for bugzilla bugs 278, 383, 406, 414, 493, 519 - may be
some more, some may be irrelevant.

Fix is huge and tested on couple laptops with 32bit distributions.
Obviously it needs more testing on different hardware/distibutions.

During debugging I found and fixed addittional bugs:
- subtitle decoding in libmpeg3
- added defaults into libmpeg3 for subtitle color
- index generation in libmpeg3
- edit_font_color initialization of S.U.V
- more info in assert info window
- removed BC_Windowevents (now 7 threads less)
- fix of bug 524
- fixed copiler warnings of some plugins
- fixed timebar cursor updating of viewer and compositor
- trace subsystem was rewritten to static buffers, added backtrace
dump on crash
- lots of cleanups

Important change behaviour: composer and viewer always display the frame
starting at the time shown on clock. Frame displayed does not depend on
forward/backward direction. There was inconsistency when direction was
accounted when not (mask).

I intend to continue bug-hunting. Work done so far may be useful for somebody.

My question is: Is it possible to get my own repo?

Great work :)

Of course, visit us on IRC, send your ssh-pubkey. You can also
(meanwhile) use the Mob repository which is public pushable through
git:// protocoll, just create your own branch there.

Hellor Einar,

welcome in the club of cinelerra bug hunters ;-)

The issue described above is one of the most annoying "strange design
decisions" in Cinelerra. Probably a lot of people (including myself) would
welcome just to phase it out.

Anyway, the greatest problem with this seems to be "mergeability" with
upstream. The whole source base is littered with these
"if (play_forward) ... else ..."-constructs and the off by one offset
is handled manually at dozens of locations.

Some years ago I worked on a larger patch to remove the greatest obstacles
and strangenesses on the bezier automation curve handlings. This patch is
not accepted into Cin-CV until today. One of the reasons is that I too tried
to partially rectify these and some similar problems with dragging nodes in the
trackcanvas (GUI).

At that time, the folks involved into cinelerra development since a long time
pointed out, that, as "upstream" can't be counted upon when it comes to
accepting changes, any change has to be done such as not to hinder merging
in new source versions from upstream.

Meanwhile the situation might be different, inasmuch develompment on the
community version of Cinelerra is mostly stalled, due to lack of developers.
Cinelerra 4 is out since a long time and we didn't even manage to perform
the merge into CV.

Thus, I think the foremost question is: is your intention just to fix the
existing code base at places, or do you intend to re-work it for real
improvement, thus moving away from the way "upstream" handles things?

And how to we all (Cinelerra community) judge the situation? Do we still
intend to merge in what upstream provides, or would we be willing to stick
to the Cin-2.1 codebase and in turn accept more disruptive changes?

[CinCV] batch mode shell script acting different via shell/php and http

[Jim Feniello]

Hi,
I've made it pretty far with the help of people on this list, thanks!

Here's where I'm at now:

I have a bash script i wrote to do a few things (copy some files, sed some text 
files, and execute a few apps (ffmpeg, cinelerra).
I also have a php page that runs this 
bash script through exec();

If i run via the shell (su'd as apache) as: php myphppage.php it executes 
correctly, copying the files, sed replacements, executes ffmpeg and cinelerra 
as expected.
When i hit myphppage.php via a 
browser, it executes, kicks off the 
.sh script, does the copies, runs ffmpeg, but when it runs cinelerra, it goes 
nuts, basically resulting in not running correctly, and creating a bunch 
(10ish) files in the working directory with names like ?, ?a`, p!2, etc.

What i don't understand is what is different from being on ssh as user apache 
and running php mypage.php vs hitting mypage.php with a browser (since apache 
runs as user apache).

Anyone know if there are any specific Environment variables/settings that 
cinelerra in batch mode may require that may be different in my two scenarios?

I'll be happy to provide whatever additional information or files that may be 
helpful in solving this.

Thanks
-jim

Jim,
I don't have much time today, but have your script echo out the environment 
variables in the two places (from ssh and then from the php script) in order to 
understand the differences in the execution environments.

[CinCV] Can't render with YUV4MPEG Stream

[Arthur]

Hi All,

My problem goes like this. I have some raw dv imported with kino. I made 
some edits and added some transitions in Cinelerra. I'm now trying to 
render with YUV4MPEG Stream to make a dvd. The results are like this:


1) mpeg2enc -f 8 -o % produces an ugly green screen with none of my 
video in it (xine and mplayer)


2) ffmpeg -f yuv4mpegpipe -i - -y -target dvd -ilme -ildct -hq -f 
mpeg2video % gives an error:
int YUVStream::write_frame(uint8_t**):write_frame() failed: system error 
(failed read/write)


3) ffmpeg -f yuv4mpegpipe -i - -y -target dvd -ilme -ildct -f mpeg2video 
% (same as above)


4) ffmpeg -f yuv4mpegpipe -i - -y -target dvd -ildct -hq -f mpeg2video % 
(same as above)


5) ffmpeg -f yuv4mpegpipe -i - -y -target dvd -ilme -hq -f mpeg2video % 
(same as above)


6) ffmpeg -f yuv4mpegpipe -i - -y -target dvd -ildct -f mpeg2video % 
(same as above)


7) ffmpeg -f yuv4mpegpipe -i - -y -target dvd -ilme -f mpeg2video % 
(same as above)


8) ffmpeg -f yuv4mpegpipe -i - -y -target dvd -f mpeg2video %  renders 
but produces the ugly green screen mentioned above.


The system is an intel quadcore q6600 / 6 gigs ram / current Archlinux / 
Cinelerra-cv 20100208-1 / ffmpeg-svn 22081-1
I also tried with ffmpeg 30526-1. The format is set to NTSC. I've seen 
several threads on this but I have not found a solution.


Can anyone please offer some advice.

Thanks

Re: [CinCV] Can't render with YUV4MPEG Stream

[E Chalaron]

Hi Arthur
Best is probably to write your own script and call it from the rendering
line option
for say I have a script in /usr/local/bin called cinerender (755) and
there is only 1 line :

mpeg2enc -v 1 -r 16 -M 4 -4 1 -2 1 -H -R 0 -D 10 -E -10 -g 6 -G 9 -I 1
-f 8 -o $1

call cinerender %

you will get a m2v file that you need to multiplex with the sound track.
cheers
E

Thanks for the quick reply, ffmpeg -f yuv4mpegpipe -i - -y -target

ffmpeg -f yuv4mpegpipe -i - -y -target ntsc-dvd -ilme -ildct -hq -f

$1 gives me: int YUVStream::write_frame(uint8_t**):write_frame() failed: system

I'm still willing to try, any more suggestions? Bye the way, I'm very impressed

for others.

Can you please re-compile Cinelerra by removing
'--with-external-ffmpeg' from the 'configure' line in PKGBUILD?
