This is pretty close to my workflow so I think you are on the right
track. x264 is definitely better than mp4 if you are looking for good
quality to file size ratio.


wellx264 is a video codec where .mp4 is better a format for  
audio/video file.
Maybe when you say mp4 you meant mpeg4, which is definitly a video  
codec you can compare with x264.


While, for example:
mpeg2  (standard format for dvd) or special mpeg you were trying to  
use to render from cinelerra are are slightly different, beeing  
lossless codec HIres;


Where h264/.mp4 are better used as lossy low res(1280x720) option to  
upload video on hd mediabase (as vimeo is)

[CinCV] FOSS LINUX equivalent to ISOBuster??

2009-07-07 Thread Murray Strome
I wondered if anyone on this mailing list might know of a free, open source 
LINUX utility equivalent to the commercial Windows program, ISOBuster? 

Sometimes, when I record a DVD on my stand-alone DVD recorder, I cannot access 
the data (something appears to go wrong in the finalization phase).  K3B will 
recognize that there is data on the DVD, but is unable to mount the disk. I 
also tried mounting it using the mount command. It says that I must specify 
type. I tried with -t iso9660, which resulted in a message like wrong fs type 


Using dmesg | tail
I get things like unable to identify CD-ROM format, and block 32 corrupted or 
cannot be read.

In Windows, I can copy the DVD using Nero, but the resulting copy has the same 
problem. I cannot mount the DVD in Windows either. However, the free trial 
version of ISOBuster in Windows can recognize that all the usual video files 
are there. However, the trial version will not extract them.

Before buying the commercial package for Windows, I have been trying to find 
out if anyone knew of a similar Open Source utility for LINUX to extract the 
recorded video from the DVD when something is wrong.

By the way, I can usually still play such DVDs on the recorder on which it was 
made (but not any other). I would guess that about 20% of the DVDs I record 
have this problem. The others work fine. I cannot see any pattern as to why it 
works sometimes and not others.

Thanks for any help.

[CinCV] add multiple uniform transitions at once to a track

2009-07-07 Thread Simeon Völkel
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi August,

you can add fades to the audio section as well if you arm only your audio
tracks, jump from one edit to the next by using Alt+right or left arrow and
insert the fade by pressing u.

For setting the type and duration of the fade I recommend either
experimenting around or the usual RTFM ;-)

Hope this helps...

Simeon

Re: [CinCV] add multiple uniform transitions at once to a track

2009-07-07 Thread Raffaella Traniello
Hi August!

   is it at all possible to add multiple uniform transitions to an audio
   or video track?

I'm not sure it is your case, but when I have to insert a lot of
dissolve transitions I edit directly the EDL (thank ichthyo for the
tip!). 
See
http://www.g-raffa.eu/Cinelerra/HOWTO/transitions.html#_how_to_add_a_chosen_transition_to_all_the_pictures_of_a_slideshow
 

Ciao!
