Re: [Mjpeg-users] How to scale an avi with aspect 4:3 using y4mscaler ?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] disseminated the following:

 I want to scale an AVI movie with frame size 544x304 and
 aspect ratio 4:3 using y4mscaler, in order to produce a
 SVCD.

Try this script, it will do the whole thing for you:

http://hammelmann.gmxhome.de/mencvcd

like so: mencvcd nameofoutputfile -svcdout -a 2 inputfile.avi

If it gives you errors about not knowing the correct framerate or whatever, add
these two switches to the command:

-tvnorm n -vfr 1

HTH.

 For a proper solution of the problem the guys that wrote the script
 would be the once to correct the problem.

Ok, that's really what I was thinking, but since it was available as part of
some of the mjpegtools packages on the download page, I was hoping someone
might at least give me a clue...and $DEITY knows I need a clue ;-)

  First, I could not simply do:
  
  mencvcd name -svcdout file.avi
  
  because I got this error:
  
  ++ WARN: [yuvscaler] Could not infer norm (PAL/SECAM or NTSC) from input
  data
  (frame size=576x432, frame rate=11988011:50 fps)!!**ERROR: [yuvscaler]
  No
  norm specified, cannot determine VCD output size. Please use the -n
  option!**ERROR: [mpeg2enc] Could not read YUV4MPEG2 header: system error
  (failed
  read/write)!
 The problem ist the framerate specifed: 11988011:50, in combination
 with you unusal framsize yuvscaler does not know what to do. The
 framerate: 11988011:50 is closte to 24000:1001, so you should add
 yuvfps before yuvscaler into the queue and ony change the framerate
 header to 24000:1001, lookes like that: ... | yuvfps -c -r 24000:1001 |
 ...
 
 You might have to set the framerate in mpeg2enc too. 

actually, the script does provide and option for setting the framerate to
24000:1001, and since no one had replied by the time I was going to bed, I
thought, what the heck, CD's are only about 50c each...

I forced my brain to do some logical thinking, and I figured if the sound is
*behind* the video, then I need a *lower* framerate. So I did the encoding
forcing a framerate of 24000:1001 and *BINGO*  it's dead on.

Thanks very much for your reply!

[Mjpeg-users] mencvcd script

2004-01-04 Thread JoeHill

I'm not sure if this is the proper channel to ask about the mencvcd script, so
let me know in whatever appropriate manner ;-)

Anyhow, I have a DivX file which I encoded to SVCD, the picture quality was
great but the sound was waay off, and I suspect it is because of my use of
incorrect command line switches.

First, I could not simply do:

mencvcd name -svcdout file.avi

because I got this error:

++ WARN: [yuvscaler] Could not infer norm (PAL/SECAM or NTSC) from input data
(frame size=576x432, frame rate=11988011:50 fps)!!**ERROR: [yuvscaler] No
norm specified, cannot determine VCD output size. Please use the -n
option!**ERROR: [mpeg2enc] Could not read YUV4MPEG2 header: system error (failed
read/write)!

So I did some playing around, and tried this:

$mencvcd name -svcdout -vfr 4 -tvnorm n file.avi

and it successfully encoded, but the sound was way *behind* the video, by about
15- 20 seconds.

Before I try playing around again (this takes a lng time), should I be going
for a *higher* video framerate, or lower? I can't wrap this poor holiday-boozing
noggin around it right now...

Thanks all!

[Mjpeg-users] Errors with compile

2004-01-02 Thread JoeHill

Hello all, 

Brand new user here, had no idea these tools even existed til a few days ago
when I bought my DVD player and decided I wanted to see if I could encode some
of my DivX movies to SVCD.

Good news is, I can.

However, I am using Mandrake with mjpegtools-1.6.1-9mdk, and the script I use,
mencvcd, takes about 24 hours to encode a 700MB DivX to VCD on my aging P3 866
with 392MB RAM.

When I originally tried to compile mjpegtools from source, I was warned that
without nasm, performance would be very poor. So I installed the Mandrake nasm
package, and proceeded to build. ./configure goes ok, but when I try to 'make' I
get this error:

/home/joehill/tmp/ccdc9rev.s: Assembler messages:
/home/joehill/tmp/ccdc9rev.s:625: Error: symbol `NOT_SUPPORTED' is already
defined make: *** [jdapimin.o] Error 1

I read the install instructions carefully, and I believe I have all the required
software installed, I am not sure what this error means (actually, this error
comes up both when I try to build mjpegtools *and* when I try to build 
jpeg-mmx).

I would like to see if I can improve the speed with which SVCD's are encoded, if
I am barking up the wrong tree, please feel free to slap me with trout.

Thanks for any assistance.
