Fedora 12 performance? (was Re: [CinCV] Re: Compiling cinelerra)

2010-01-16 Thread sfrase6%40comcast.net
John,
I'm considering an upgrade/new install of Fedora 12 from Fedora 10.  Have you 
noticed any performance differences using Cinelerra on Fedora 12 in contrast to 
older versions of Fedora?

Subject: [CinCV] Re: Compiling cinelerra

Thank you.

I got the source from the GIT repository. Using the instructions from 
Raffaella's "Cinelerra for Grandma" for Ubuntu and substituting yum 
commands for the apt-get and changing some package names to those used 
by the Fedora or rpmfusion repositories, the compile went without a 
hitch on Fedora 12. The libx264 and OpenGL were found.

For information, here are the package names and vendor needed by 
cinelerra, mpeg3dump,  mplexlo, mpeg3cat, and mpeg3toc on Fedora 12.

a52dec : RPM Fusion
alsa-lib : Fedora Project
audiofile : Fedora Project
esound-libs : Fedora Project
faac : RPM Fusion
faad2-libs : RPM Fusion
flac : Fedora Project
glibc : Fedora Project
ilmbase : Fedora Project
lame-libs : RPM Fusion
libavc1394 : Fedora Project
libdrm : Fedora Project
libdv : Fedora Project
libgcc : Fedora Project
libiec61883 : Fedora Project
libjpeg : Fedora Project
libmp4v2 : Fedora Project
libogg : Fedora Project
libpng : Fedora Project
libraw1394 : Fedora Project

libXdamage : Fedora Project
libXext : Fedora Project

libXv : Fedora Project
libXxf86vm : Fedora Project
mesa-libGL : Fedora Project
mesa-libGLU : Fedora Project
mjpegtools-libs : RPM Fusion
OpenEXR-libs : Fedora Project
x264-libs : RPM Fusion
zlib : Fedora Project

There are other packages needed as well that are provided by the kernel 
or the compiler packages plus autoconf, automake, libtool, nasm, yasm, 
and gettext.

There is no build-essential package as in Ubuntu, so you just have to 
satisfy the libraries and tools, but I got everything from the Fedora 
repositories or the RPM Fusion repositories.

Thanks again,
John

Re: [CinCV] Cinelerra aborts while rendering

2009-07-05 Thread sfrase6%40comcast.net
Ed,
Actually, your rendering parameter should be fine, since you are rendering from 
within Cinelerra.  (I had initially thought you were rendering outside of 
Cinelerra).  I do notice that your bitrate is extremely high.  That shouldn't 
cause a problem in itself, but I've had crashes when using high bitrates like
that.  You may want to use a lower bitrate or a more common render setting that 
you know works, just to confirm if it is a problem in the timeline or the 
rendering parameters.

Also, I've had crashes due to problems in the timeline when rendering hour 
plus video out of Cinelerra for the following reasons:
-a bug while stacking video effects (specifically, when the Sharpen effect
was at the bottom of a stack of six other effects on a video track)
- there were breaks between clips on the rendered video (if you zoom in all 
the way on a track, make sure the clips are aligned next to each other)

Here's a couple tips from my Beginner's Guide to Rendering Video 
(http://crazedmuleproductions.blogspot.com/2007/06/beginners-guide-to-exporting-video-from.html)
1) Keep the start and end of your video and audio tracks perfectly aligned. 
Make sure to zoom in to less than five frames to verify this.

2) Also, I've gotten crashes if I have a transition that overlaps a very short 
bit of 
empty space between two adjacent audio or video clips. To stop this, I will go 
to the end of a clip, zoom in all the way, and make sure that the video and 
audio 
tracks end at the exact same time. If they don't end at the exact same time, I 
clip 
off a bit of whatever track is dangling by using the mark in/mark out 
indicators and 
doing a "cut". I can then be assured that when I paste a new segment to the end 
of 
this recently snipped one that the segments will align perfectly. Once the 
segments 
are aligned, I then apply the transition.

For troubleshooting purposes, try to hone in on the exact moment in the timeline
where the render breaks.  I found the Sharpen effect problem by rendering the 
first 
half of the video in the timeline and then successively rendering smaller 
sections 
of the timeline until I found the exact place in the timeline where the render 
is 
breaking.  At which point, it is a matter of either finding a hole in the video 
or
turning off effects/transitions until your render tests work without crashing.

This time consuming; however, if you've spend a lot of time editing, it is the 
only
way to salvage all your hard editing work.

Subject: [CinCV] Cinelerra aborts while rendering

I have been trying to render a piece of nearly 2 hours of video,
containing about 500 scenes, to a YUV4MPEG Stream. I use a pipe command

ffmpeg -f yuv4mpegpipe -i - -y -r 25 -b 2800 -f mpeg2video
/data/Cyprus/OutputCinelerra.m2v


Has anyone experiences this before?

Ed,
Normally, you'd use yuv4mpegpipe to convert an input stream into an output pipe 
into another program, such as mpeg2video.  Also, yuv4mpegpipe will override the 
second format parameter, mpeg2video.  Here's a post showing an example that has 
some informative comments at the bottom from some knowledgeable folks:

Re: [CinCV] Howto produce HD mpg 1080 from Cinelerra

2009-06-09 Thread sfrase6%40comcast.net
Ed,
I had a similar problem getting the output from my Canon 5D Mark II into a 
Cinelerra-usable format.  My solution was to reencode the 1080P H264 into 1080P 
MPEG-TS.

Here is my tale of woe from earlier this year:
http://crazedmuleproductions.blogspot.com/2009/02/dark-of-winter-has-me-in-its-grasp.html

The MPEG2-TS is the section you'd want to focus on.

open video editing softwares, so Tom will talk on Lumiera and I'll give a short

And yes, we should hook up Peter,

[CinCV] first few frames of mpeg2 corrupt?

2009-02-11 Thread sfrase6%40comcast.net



Guys, 

I have performed a conversion of 1080p video from a Canon 5D to MPEG2-TS using 
the following steps: 

[sfr...@ogre 2009_02_07]$ ffmpeg -i MVI_0715.MOV -vcodec ffvhuff -s 1920x1088 
-threads 8 -f yuv4mpegpipe - | mpeg2enc --multi-thread 8 --verbose 0 --aspect 3 
--format 3 --frame-rate 5 --video-bitrate 24000 --nonvideo-bitrate 384 
--interlace-mode 0 --force-b-b-p --video-buffer 448 --video-norm n --keep-hf 
--no-constraints --sequence-header-every-gop --min-gop-size 1 --max-gop-size 6 
-o test.m2v 

[sfr...@ogre 2009_02_07]$ mplex -f 3 -b 2000 test.m2a test.m2v -o test.ps 

[sfr...@ogre 2009_02_07]$ cvlc test.ps --sout 
'#duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ts,dst="testMinGop1.m2t"}}' vlc://quit 





However, when I bring the resulting video into Cinelerra, I notice the first 
four frames give me green ugliness, as in the picture below: 

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bcLw_LVf5nA/SZNPDAOSBfI/A2Y/sG9Y-cumjHA/s1600-h/greenMpeg1080p.jpg
 



The green will bleed into a finished video, unless I chop out the offending 
frames.  Only the first few frames of each converted video are corrupt with the 
green.  The rest of the video past those first few frames is fine.  



I don't see any errors jumping out at me from the conversion process, outside 
of h264 "Consumed only xxx bytes instead of nnn bytes" 



Why might these green frames be happening and what can I do to stop it? 



thanks, 

scott
