Not in the Preferences, please. Let configure find it, but use the plain 'mpeg2enc' (without path, i.e. using $PATH) as a fallback. -- Hannes ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra

That's what I thought it was, a library that was different than the actual binary BTW, it's working fine now that I've got it set up...so thanks for the info..

Re: [CinCVS] Exporting to mpeg video..
This still seems the wrong way to go to me. Currently I think packagers should install whatever is required on their distro to make this work. That's what the SUSE packages do. I was aware of what SUSE did (the symlink), I though that was a bit silly. Or cinelerra should use the default binary name. Making an in program path location is working around it in the wrong place, in my opinion. Placing a "binary location" seemed a way of letting the end user know that they needed to have the binary and provide the location to it and that the mpeg2enc.plugin wasn't anything but the binary itself, (.plugin could make it seem like it's a library object or something.) Should just go with what is returned by `which mpeg2enc` (i.e. search default path) and remove the need for a special " "mpeg2enc.plugin" file? ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra

The «Performance» tab has a few rendering-related options, but it would truly be a rather non-obvious place to put paths to external executables. Do we need an extra tab in Preferences? -- Herman Robak ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
Re: [CinCVS] Exporting to mpeg video..
I was just writing a patch to save a "mpeg2enc" binary location. I was going to make the location settable in the Render->Video Settings window, but realised that that dialog, and the code surrounding it seems to only handle modification to the asset, and I didn't really want the binary location to vary between assets for different projects. I'm guessing that it should go in preferences dialog, but non of the tabs make sence, (it's not a recording or playback option) Any one have an idea were it should go, or if it is a good idea. I was also going to commit with the same patch, and little note saying people should try using yuv4mpeg pipe to have a finer control.
