Re: [Mjpeg-users] eli file syntax
Hallo I guess you have seen lavtrans alreaddy. yes, thanks, I have sent you two letters with attached short.avi but they both returned to me: This message was created automatically by mail delivery software. A message that you sent could not be delivered to all of its recipients. The following address(es) failed: ya**@p**.utanet.at (ultimately generated from [EMAIL PROTECTED]) message is too big (transport limit = 500) I drawed stars to not show your email address in web. My mail account on ther mailserver has only 5MB avaible. So if someone else sends me some mails you wil get that message. 4MB are usually a save value. I can encode the sample you have sent me. I attach the output of the sample. I have generated it with that command: lav2yuv mjpeg2.avi | yuvscaler -O DVD | mpeg2enc -o test.m2v -f 8 So, what can I do? I tried once again, files coudn't be encoded even with exactly your command line, even if I work not with eli but with avi... There is still one thing that comes into my mind. Try once: lav2yuv -v 2 mjpeg2.avi /dev/null Than you should see if lav2yuv is able to decode a single frame. If that doesn't work too, I'm really clueless. You could try to run the command in gdb, and see what happens. Maybe you see there something usefull. Do you get a segfault or something like that ? I again rebuild avi file with mencoder and with no success on a enw file... I am not sure but it seemd to me that I had tried with the same effect when mjpegtools was compiled with O2 level optimization, now them compiled with O3 level optimization. Which mjpegtools version do you use ? From your last mail I guess that you still use the old 1.6.2 (... INFO: [yuvscaler] yuvscaler 1.6.2 (31-12-2003)) If you do so please upgrade to the 1.8.0 mjpegtools. Before any other steps. But it shouldn't affect... I do not know what to think... By the way, I build dvd with mainactor compiled files, and very unhappy with result, I remember whan I did dvd with mjpegtools that was exellen quality result! Some say that the mjpegtools mpeg2enc the best open source mpeg encoder ;) I have never used mainactor, so I can't tell anything about it. There have many things changed the last 5 years, and things got definatly better. auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Mjpeg-users] eli file syntax
Hallo What output do you get when you run lavinfo $1 ? The important lines are the first 3, you should get a output like that: localhost 1 # lavinfo 1.avi video_frames=8446 video_width=768 video_height=576 That lookes correct. What I miss is the lav2yuv output when you start decoding. Can you start the encoding once with: lav2yuv -v 2 $1 and post the output, you should get a bunch of messages from lav2yuv. localhost 1 # create_dvd.sh 1.eli Is there a difference between 1.eli and 1.avi ? Have you tried you command on the commandl line ? An replacing mpeg2enc with yuvplay so you see the video. If nothing else helps try it with a simple command like: lav2yuv 1.eli | yuvplay If that works add the other options and commands step by step. What is the command line you use for encoding in the script ? The output from lav2yuv lookes correct. So I guess there is something broken in the script. auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Mjpeg-users] eli file syntax
Hallo I have a problem with glav on a gentoo linux. It crashes with SDL parachute error... I have read similiar message in mjpeg-users mail list archive, and one of the developers (as far as I remember) gave an advice to upgrade SDL and one of theproposed solutions was to try start glav with -p S option or without sound. That sounds like a problem with X11 and maybe your grafic card driver. I had something similair, it was a problem with open gl, disabling that helped. Does lavplay work ? Do other SDL based programm work which are not included in the mjpegtools ? If you tell us the version of the grafic card driver, X11 version and the error message we might provide further help. Anyway, I just need .eli file settings... A simple file lookes like that e_f1_4121.m1v [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/inbound/cher cat file.eli LAV Edit List PAL 1 /inbound/aufnahme/file.avi 0 0 5496 ---END--- You have to use absolute file paths. By the way, another question All files captured with lavrec has Upper field first, so when I am converting files with mainactor and setting render option upper field first it is ok? I don't know what that option changes. But that does not sound as if it would break anything obvious. Because I tried lower field first option too, and when playing back on tv resulted files with mplayer -vo zr mpeg2file.mpg I can't see the difference... Depends on what that option really does. auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Hallo I had something similair, it was a problem with open gl, disabling that helped. Does lavplay work ? Yes, it works with -pH and outputs video through my Miro card :) If you tell us the version of the grafic card driver, X11 version and the error message we might provide further help. I am using Ati Radeon 8500 LE with xorg-6.8.2-r4 Tried with ati proprietary drivers, with open source radeon driver, and even vesa :) Anyway glav gives me SDL parachute error :) I created some .eli files and wanted to convert videos to dvd compliant mpeg2 or vcd compliant mpeg1. Before I post the troubles I want to paste how I captured videos lavrec -i P -w -f a -d 1 -q 77 -a 16 -r 44100 -l -1 -R l -c 2 -t 10 -T 1 -n 32 -b 256 -s --max-file-size 1900 /home/norik/Desktop/%09.avi That command lookes correct. I was trying to convert with: lav2yuv $1 | yuvdenoise | yuvscaler -O DVD | mpeg2enc -f 8 -q 4 -s -o video_tmp.m2v What output do you get when you run lavinfo $1 ? The important lines are the first 3, you should get a output like that: lavinfo file.eli video_frames=5916 video_width=720 video_height=576 [...] INFO: [yuvscaler] End of stream!

INFO: [mpeg2enc] GOP start (0 frames) INFO: [mpeg2enc] Guesstimated final muxed size = 4 Seems that there is a problem with the video. You see that there is a problem it does not decode any file. What I miss is the lav2yuv output when you start decoding. Can you start the encoding once with: lav2yuv -v 2 $1 and post the output, you should get a bunch of messages from lav2yuv. After that mpeg createion not continued, but only audio :) That is strange. I searched through the list and found an advice to use -M 0 with mpeg2enc, however that didn't help, and after that I removed -q parameter, I removed yuvdenoise but unsuccessfully. That ist not the problem here because yuvscaler does not get any frame. You have the same problem here too: INFO: [y4mscaler] Frame number 0 INFO: [y4mscaler] End of stream at frame 0. And besides when I playing captured files with mplayer, it tells me that file is bad interleaved localhost 2 # mplayer -identify 1.avi [...] SwScaler: BICUBIC scaler, from Planar 422P to Planar YV12 using MMX VO: [xv] 768x576 = 768x576 Planar YV12 A: 1.5 V: 0.6 A-V: 0.901 ct: 0.060 16/ 16 273% 8% 61.1% 15 0 28% Badly interleaved AVI file detected - switching to -ni mode...
