Hello, I switched from Ubuntu 6.10 (i386) to Gentoo (amd64) a few weeks ago and managed to compile revision 1008 succesfully with these ./configure options:
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-buildinfo=svn/recompile --enable-mmx --enable-3dnow --with-external-ffmpeg I did the distro switch because I liked the way you could adapt Gentoo to your own wishes and switched from i386 to amd64 because I read several times (mainly on the Heroine Virtual website) that Cinelerra was made with 64 bit in mind. However, Cinelerra is not really usable for me now. I have an HDV camcorder (Sony HDR-HC1) and I capture the MPEG-TS stream via Firewire using dvgrab with the HDV patch. After capturing I tried two things with the *.m2t file. The first thing I tried was converting it to PAL DV to get progressive video (Instead of using the Firewire HDV -> DV conversion function function in the camcorder, this gives interlaced PAL DV).The second thing I tried was converting it to 720p H.264 with a low quantizer to maintain the high quality (I was also thinking of converting it to 720p in a lossless format but I read that Cinelerra doesn't support lossless formats.). I did the DV conversion with these ffmpeg options: > ffmpeg -i dvgrab-001.m2t -f dv -s 720x576 dvtest.dv And the H.264 conversion by doing this: > ffmpeg -i dvgrab-001.m2t -vcodec h264 -acodec aac -ab 256k -qmin 10 -qmax 15 > -deinterlace -s 1280x720 testh264.mov I also tried to encode H.264 into .mp4 and .avi containers but they give the same problem that is mentioned below. Both H.264 and DV crash the Cinelerra viewer. The video files load perfectly fine, the index files are created, and I can load them into the Cinelerra viewer. I can then view the video and navigate through them in the viewer. But as soon as I navigated through the video for the first time, the viewer crashes. It just doesn't respond to anything anymore. I run Cinelerra from a terminal window, but the crash doesn't give any output. The other three windows (Program, Compositor and Resources) are not affected by the viewer crash and still respond to everything. (By the way, I have set all the right settings in "Settings -> Format...") I have no idea how to solve this problem, especially because the crash doesn't give any output. I never had this problem when I was running Ubuntu. Any ideas? _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
