Re: DM355: MPEG4 + MJPEG together

Yes I can run MJPEG alone or MPEG4 alone but not one after the other. I found one source of hanging. Setting the MPEG4 instance to CBR with bitrate results in the MJPEG hanging. Pretty wierd (although this is obviously not a valid MPEG4 configuration). But the problem remains that if I run the

Actually, I let the program hang around a little longer and it does in fact still do MJPEG encodes - except that one encode takes 26 seconds! CE_DEBUG=3 does not provide any print-out at all, and I've made sure I have plenty of CMEM buffer pools. -- Pete On Fri, Oct 24, 2008 at 12:34 AM, Peter

Setting CE_DEBUG=2 (or 3) will provide more details. Turning on trace is the right way to start. CMEM provides memory for the algorithm - there are some CMEM-related debugging techniques documented here: http://wiki.davincidsp.com/index.php?title=CMEM_Overview Chris

I don't think I've ever seen a CMEM allocation problem hang a codec before. Unless of course you feed the encoder with a bad address - but that is sort of self inflicted pain ;) I assume that either one of the codec's run individually - but it's the combination that hangs? Steve Ring,

I have done something pretty similar. I am currently encoding the video using MPEG4 and on command snapping a JPEG still. Not quite MJPEG but on the frames that I am snapping the JPEG still it is executing both algorithms on the same frame. As previously stated, if you have one of the buffers
