Re: [CinCVS] DVD output ?

[Pierre Marc Dumuid]

Hi Dom, I find it curious that you had to extract the elementary video stream from the output.mpg when using mpeg2enc. Are you 100% sure you used mpeg2enc, and not ffmpeg.  mpeg2enc by default compresses to an elementary stream (looking at the manual) whist ffmpeg (without the -f mpeg2video option before the %)  compresses to a program stream, that requires the extraction as described below. I have found that ffmpeg ignore's the info about the interlacing order info from a YUV4MPEG pipe, so if you want the DVD to handle the field ordering correctly, I advise using mencoder or mpeg2enc.

The ultra-ghetto solution that I used for a few DVD's I've made with cinelerra is this (maybe something is easier with the new cinelerra version, this was for the older 1.x branch) Render the video as YUV4MPEG Stream, use the 'mpeg2enc -f 8' option in there. Save that as an .MPG file (NOT a .M2v). (say this is called output-video.mpg) Render the audio as AC3 audio, 128kbps (say 'output-audio.ac3') Get an M2V from that .MPG file (yea backwards I know...) [tcextract is part of transcode] tcextract -i output-video.mpg -x mpeg2 > output-video.m2v Mplex em together: mplex -f 8 -o output.mpg output-video.m2v output-audio.ac3 And output.mpg is now ready to be burned to DVD with dvdauthor or whatever. If you want to do chapters, in cinelerra make labels at each chapter, and then in the rendering options make sure to enable 'create new file at each label' [or whatever it says in there]. That will create Please someone tell me that this is a horrible way to do it and there is in fact a really nice user-friendly way to generate DVD-compliant MPEG2 video... (or at least how to skip the manual 'tcextract' step) -Dom --- Johannes Sixt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On Freitag 20 Januar 2006 00:45, Nicolas wrote: On Fri, Jan 20, 2006 at 12:24:11AM +0100, Herman Robak wrote: On Fri, 20 Jan 2006 00:00:05 +0100, Nicolas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I think I'll output to raw DV first. Don't use Cinelerra to output raw DV (.dv). Use a container, preferably Quicktime (.mov), and render DV in that. Cinelerra's raw DV support is broken. Really! :-/ Damn! Is that really broken ? What worry me with Cinelerra is the output format. I want a fully DVD compliant mpeg file. Using the command lines I wrote in my last messages, Kino directly produced a DVD compliant mpeg file. What the best solution to obtain a "DVD" mpeg file from a Cinelerra project? No problem, just render to Quicktime DV instead. Your mjpegtools pipeline is likely able to grok it. Render a few seconds and try it. -- Hannes _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra Dominic C.
