HI! After updating my Gentoo system, transcode does not work anymore for converting AVI (mp3 audio) to MPEG2 (ac3 audio).
transcode was updated from 1.0.7 to 1.1.5. I had to change a few command line options, but I think, they are correct now: mkfifo "$1.fifo" nice transcode -N 0x2000 -b 224 -E 48000 -m "$1.ac3" -k --write_pid transcode.pid -i "$1" -M 4 -y yuv4mpeg,tcaud -o "$1.fifo" & nice cat "$1.fifo" | nice /work/videotools/y4mscaler/y4mscaler -S option=sinc:8 -v 0 -I sar=16:9 -I active=640x368+0+0 -O size=720x576 -O active=720x576+0+0 | nice mpeg2enc -v 0 -I 0 -f 8 -b 9000 -n p -a 3 -o "$1.m2v" -q 4 -K tmpgenc -D 10 -4 2 -2 1 -R 2 But I get these warnings/errors: transcode v1.1.5 (C) 2001-2003 Thomas Oestreich, 2003-2009 Transcode Team [transcode] V: auto-probing | test.avi (OK) [transcode] V: import format | XviD in RIFF data, AVI (module=ffmpeg) [transcode] A: auto-probing | test.avi (OK) [transcode] A: import format | MPEG ES Layer 3 in RIFF data, AVI (module=mp3) [transcode] V: AV demux/sync | (4) initial PTS / enforce frame rate [transcode] V: import frame | 640x368 1.74:1 encoded @ UNKNOWN [transcode] V: rgb2bgr | yes [transcode] V: bits/pixel | 0.306 [transcode] V: decoding fps,frc | 25.000,3 [transcode] V: video format | YUV420 (4:2:0) aka I420 [transcode] A: import format | 0x55 MPEG ES Layer 3 [48000,16,2] 160 kbps [transcode] A: export format | 0x2000 AC3 [48000,16,2] 224 kbps [transcode] V: export format | unknown (module dependant) [transcode] V: encoding fps,frc | 25.000,3 [transcode] A: bytes per frame | 7680 (7680.000000) [transcode] A: adjustment | 0...@1000 [transcode] V: IA32/AMD64 accel | sse3 sse2 sse 3dnowext 3dnow mmxext mmx cmove asm [transcode] V: video buffer | 10 @ 640x368 [0x2] [transcode] A: audio buffer | 10 @ 48000x2x16 [import_mp3.so] v0.1.4 (2003-08-04) (audio) MPEG [import_ffmpeg.so] v0.1.15 (2008-01-28) (video) ffmpeg: MS MPEG4v1-3/MPEG4/MJPEG [export_tcaud.so] v0.9.0 (2007-07-03) (audio) MPEG/AC3/PCM [export_yuv4mpeg.so] v0.1.10 (2006-10-06) (video) YUV4MPEG2 | (audio) MPEG/AC3/PCM [import_mp3.so] MP3->PCM [import_mp3.so] tcextract -a 0 -i "test.avi" -x mp3 -d 0 | tcdecode -x mp3 -d 0 -z 20000 [transcode] PCM -> AC3 codec type or id mismatches [transcode] warning: tc_audio_init_ffmpeg: could not open mpa codec !
