[Mjpeg-users] Iomega Buz Errors

2003-02-17 Thread rbroman
I have dual Xeon 2.4 GHz on Supermicro X5DAL-G motherboard 
(Intel SE7505 chipset), NVidia GeForce3 Ti200, SoundBlaster
Live! and Iomega BUZ card. Input source is DirecTV S-Video.

OS is RH8.0 with custom 2.4.20 kernel. I installed xawtv-3.85 
and driver-zoran-0.9.1. I'm loading required modules with a 
script - below is the script; the lsmod; and the dmesg output.

xawtv shows the screen on first boot, but screen goes all
black shortly thereafter. EXCEPT - I can see a narrow band,
which is part of the TV screen, at the top of the xawtv
black screen. 

Also, I can't figure out how to get the TV audio out. The
sound card itself is working, but not with TV signal.

Ideas appreciated - Thx, Randy

[Mjpeg-users] Flickering DVD output

2003-02-17 Thread Derek Fountain
I'm trying to get a reasonable DVD/TV output, and I'm having flickering 
problems. I captured a PAL VHS source using a DC10+ and 1.6.1. My MJPEG file 
has these attributes:

--DEBUG: [lav2yuv]width:768
--DEBUG: [lav2yuv]height:   576
--DEBUG: [lav2yuv]interlacing: top field first
--DEBUG: [lav2yuv]frames/sec:25.000

Following the HOWTO, I tried encoding to DVD acceptable format using this:

lav2yuv _30secs.eli |
yuvdenoise |
yuvscaler -O SIZE_720x576 |
mpeg2enc -f 8 -q 7 -4 1 -2 1 -P -I 1 -N -o dvd_30secs.m2v

Which I understand denoises leaving the interlacing in place, then encodes the 
interlaced source. Played on my DVD player and 50hz TV, it's horrible. The 
content is a yoga style video, which has slow (to non existant :o)) action 
and a pure white studio background. The background flickers terribly, and the 
edges of the person and equipment are ghosted and flickery.

I tried adding -F to yuvdenoise and -I 1 to mpegenc, understanding this would 
deinterlace and produce deinterlaced output, and should therefore look bad on 
my TV. Actually, it looks a bit better, but is still not really usable.

Any clues? My suspicions fall on the yuvscaler, which isn't described in the 
HOWTO, but appears to be necessary. (The example in the HOWTO gives an error 
message for me without it.)

good news.

I liked the idea so much, I started poking around the fade transition 
filter that comes with the mjpegtools (transist.flt).  The changes 
necessary were fairly trivial.  too trivial.  It has already been 
implemented by the abysmally documented matteblend.flt .   (which works 
great)
$ cd mjpegtools-1.6.1/docs
$ grep -i matteblend.flt *
$ grep -i transist.flt *
lavpipe.1:.B transist.flt -o 0 -O 255 -s $o -n $n -d 50
lavpipe.1:.BR "transist.flt -o 0 -O 255 -s $o -n $n -d 50" " # transistion"
mjpegtools.1:transist.flt.
mjpegtools.1:transist.flt needs to be informed about the duration of the transition
mjpegtools.1:> transist.flt \-o 0 \-O 255 \-d 25
mjpegtools.1:transist.flt \-o 0 \-O 255 \-d 25 | yuv2lav \-f a \-q 80 \-o 
transition.avi
$ matteblend.flt -h
usage:  matteblend.flt
no params at the moment - color saturation falloff or such has to be implemented
$

at least transist.flt is usefully documented using
man mjpegtools  or  man lavpipe.  matteblend.flt is used w/ lavpipe 
similarly to transist.flt, but with 3 input streams.
I think I have a new idea for a patch... :-)

Well, feel free to write some lines of documentation about it... Seems
like we totally ignored this...
