Re: [CinCV] can't it really import flv files?

2012-03-27 Thread Valentina Messeri
From a technical point of view, a .flv file is a compressed one, that  
means less infos about the file itself, which is the reason why  
professional editing tools normally DO NOT support that kind of file,  
since quality is obviously compromised.


Then a professional video tool uses an internal decoder/encoder which  
"could" coincide with the system "video player", but  it's a not a  
rule, so you cannot aspect to have any of your video played by your  
system as well as edited with cinelerra.
As solucion you can both encode your .flv video to suite cinelerra or  
try with a simpler editor, as openshot for example, which is gstreamer  
based as totem-gstreamer, so you'll have at the same time a video file  
played by your system and edited by your editing tool.

Hi,

I must be missing something.
I've installed cinelerra and I've tried to import a video file by  
selecting "load files" from the File menu.


Isn't that the correct way to import a video file and use it as a video clip?

I tried to import a flv file which is encoded with the h264 codec,  
and which I can play without any issue in any video player (e.g.  
Gnome MPlayer or VLC or Movie Player), so I definitely have all the  
needed codecs installed on the system.


Cinelerra says it "can't determine the format, assuming PCM" (which  
it obviously isn't) and asks me to select audio format parameters  
(such as sampling rates, number of bits etc),


It obviously doesn't import the audio correctly and doesn't import  
the video at all.


The question is, is there something I'm doing wrong, or doesn't  
really Cinelerra support this kind of video file?
I would expect it to be able to import ANY file that my system is  
capable of playing. Isn't it?


thanks
m.

flv files with h264 video and aac audio can losslessly be converted to mov or 
mp4.
I do this with my gmerlin transcoder (http://gmerlin.sourceforge.net).
Something like

ffmpeg -acodec copy -vcodec copy ...

might work as well.

Google-ing, found easily various sites like:
http://vimeo.com/raffatraniello

but  g-raffa.eu is
"Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at g-raffa.eu."

And this time with Tor browser,

Hopefully nothing serious.
World is beautiful because of there are people like her, and you folks
at Cinelerra.
I won't worry yet, but I will pray just the same.

Nameservers do not resolve the name g-raffa.eu.

Mails do no reach her, I haven't seen her on irc. May be she travels.

We have to wait.
