I've checked your files, they're quite good. They are already H.264 and AAC (advanced audio coding), the only thing wrong is the mov container. It's easy to repack this to avi: $ mencoder input.mov -ovc copy -oac copy -o output.avi I've tested it with openib-btl-tuning: adi@chopin:/tmp$ ls -l openib-btl-tuning-v1.2.mov -rw-r--r-- 1 adi adi 16249094 Jun 4 11:24 openib-btl-tuning-v1.2.mov adi@chopin:/tmp$ ls -l ompi-test.avi -rw-r--r-- 1 adi adi 15964104 Jun 4 11:26 ompi-test.avi (you can download it here: <http://adi.loris.tv/ompi-test.avi>) On the other hand, the files are way too large. The video doesn't contain much inter-frame correlation, so it's a good idea to give the encoder some hints: adi@chopin:/tmp$ ls -l test*.avi -rw-r--r-- 1 adi adi 36171648 Jun 4 11:47 test.avi -rw-r--r-- 1 adi adi 35323842 Jun 4 11:58 testx264.avi (from approx. 160MB to 35MB). The first one is MPEG4 with an MP3 audio stream, the second is H.264. Both video encoders were forced to 100kbit/s and keyframes every 300 frames (not for x264): $ mencoder input.mov -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc -lavcopts \ vbitrate=100:keyint=300 -o output.avi For testing purposes, try http://adi.loris.tv/ompi-optimized.avi I'd like to hear if these files, especially the last one, are working for other users. If so, I'd take care to convert the movs to avi, probably MPEG4. (in that case: Jeff, you could probably give me all files in an archive or point to a direct download link, so I don't have to click through the website but just fire up the encoder in the for loop) -- Cluster and Metacomputing Working Group Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, Germany private: http://adi.thur.de
