Re: [CinCVS] AMD64 better than P4
I've never had a crash so far, but maybe it is because I've only created very simple menus with a background image, no music, and set-it to go ahead and burn directly to DVD. The main reason I use QDVDAuthor, is because it is very easy to use and produces (at least for me) DVD's that will play on any DVD. (I do understand that proper rendering & mplexing is also critical) IMHO, I believe that it is critical to have a complete set of tools to *painlessly* create fully working, profesional looking DVD's in Linux. It directly impacts the media production path line that Cinelerra is part of, and thus the growth of Cinelerra's largest potential userbase (the home amateur editor crowd) Personally I use: DVCam (Cannon zr40 ntsc) ->dvgrab->Cinelerra->QDVDAuthor->DVD I also use Audacity and Gimp to create collateral materials. alx. >BTW, how many times it crashed for you?

Moreover, the .xml files it generates are full of bugs, and I have to edit them before authoring the DVD. I tried DVDStyler, but there are far less features in DVDStyler than QDVDAuthor. I think the developper should focus on stability rather than putting new features.

Re: [CinCVS] AMD64 better than P4?
I used to find that my laptop was slow if I booted without the A/C power adapter plugged in. I then discovered that the reason was the cpu was throttled to 700 MHz rather than full speed. You may want to ensure that the cpu-throttling is working correctly! I don't have my laptop here, but I recall writing a script that did something like: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq Not sure if this helps??

Re: [CinCVS] AMD64 better than P4?
I am running Cinelerra with great success on a: AMD Athlon64X2 3200, 2gig ram and 300 gig IDE drive running on Ubuntu Brezzy 32. My Cinelerra installation was straight from synaptic. For a while playback performance was horrible, but then I found out my motherboard did not really suported AGP, and the NVIDIA videocard was not perofrming at all. I then switched to a Geforce 6600GT 128MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video card, and now it rocks!. I get 29fps on straight HD 1080i playback, (3 to 7 when applying effects) On plain DV Encoding a 7 minute DV (720x480) to mpeg (.mpv) for latter use on DVD takes about 4.5 minutes, encoding the audio (.mpa) takes about 30 seconds. When encoding CPU utilization goes to 80%+80%, so it is perfectly usable for any other tasks. I have also loaded Cinelerra on Ubuntu Brezzy 64, and since I did not noticed inmediate improvements, I sticked with Brezzy 32, as it was more convenient for me. (Still got it on my dual boot) Good luck with your system choice. alx. PS. While I am at it, I found that QDVDAuthor does a great job preparing and burning DVD's that are compatible with all the DVD players I've so far tried (about 8) ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra

Here i am running AMD64 X2 3800+ with 1 GB mem and its fast and stable as hell running FC4 x86_64 ( and i am an "Poweruser" ). Before i had an Athlon 2600+. With ffmpeg i can encode dv full resolution video saved from cinelerra to dvd mpeg faster than realtime and run other applications in foreground without long dropouts or hangs. The speed of an computer is not only the cpu also the board, harddisk, where is what partition etc. The trick is to find an hardware configuration that runs smooth together . Here it is AMD64 X2 3800+, Asus Sli Deluxe, Adaptec Scsi Ultra 160 with linux system on one scsi disk and all video data on ide ( xfs ), my home is mounted over nfs from my little ( yes little and 6 years old ) server. This was the first time i upgraded my computer and there was a recognizible faster speed since upgrading my orginal Amiga 2000 with an 30MHZ Accelerator Card in 1989 :)) :)) yes. But sorry, i never had an P4. It is possible that the libdv version #leo runs on his laptop is the reason for the bad performace. Here i had only ~5 frames per second when i began my experience with 64bit system. Now i use an cvs? version self compiled and the playback performace is very very good. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Uwe Konrad ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
