Hello,

A few days ago I posted a message on this mailinglist about the
Cinelerra viewer that crashed. This problem is solved, but I still can't
 use Cinelerra properly because of another problem.

I am running Cinelerra r1008 on Gentoo (amd64), I compiled with the
following options:

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-buildinfo=svn/recompile --enable-mmx
--enable-3dnow --with-external-ffmpeg

Quote from my other post:

When the capturing is done, I have a fresh *.m2t file in 1080i. I tried
to convert this file to 720p in several ways but none of them works.

These are the things I tried, at every point I give the command that I
used to create the 720p video and how Cinelerra handled the video:

------------------------------

1. ffmpeg H.264 with AVI container

ffmpeg -i dvgrab-001.m2t -deinterlace -s 1280x720 -vcodec h264 -qmin 10
-qmax 15 -acodec mp3 -ab 256k 1.avi

The Viewer shows nothing, no sound, the commandline says this:

new_acodec: couldn't find codec for ""
new_vcodec: couldn't find codec for "h264"
new_acodec: couldn't find codec for ""
new_vcodec: couldn't find codec for "h264"

(Yes, it is outputted twice)

------------------------------

2. ffmpeg H.264 with MOV container

ffmpeg -i dvgrab-001.m2t -deinterlace -s 1280x720 -vcodec h264 -qmin 10
-qmax 15 -acodec mp3 -ab 256k 2.mov

The video works and sometimes the sound also works (?), but the sound is
not in sync when it works (I am using ALSA). Cinelerra also throws this
error in an error window randomly while navigating through the video
with the Viewer:

virtual int FileMOV::read_frame(VFrame*):
quicktime_read_frame/quicktime_decode_video failed, result:

(http://bugs.cinelerra.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=quicktime_read_frame
shows 2 bugs about this problem, so I don't think it can be solved
without somebody who can program)

------------------------------

3. ffmpeg H.264 with MOV container (but with AC3 codec)

ffmpeg -i dvgrab-001.m2t -deinterlace -s 1280x720 -vcodec h264 -qmin 10
-qmax 15 -acodec ac3 ac3.mov

The video plays in the Viewer, the sound doesn't. The commandline shows
this:

new_acodec: couldn't find codec for "ms "
new_acodec: couldn't find codec for "ms "
new_acodec: couldn't find codec for "ms "
new_acodec: couldn't find codec for "ms "

------------------------------

4. mencoder H.264 with AVI container

mencoder dvgrab-001.m2t -ovc x264 -oac mp3lame -vf pp=ci,scale=1280:720
-o 4.avi

The Viewer shows nothing and there is no sound, the commandline outputs
this:

new_vcodec: couldn't find codec for "h264"
new_vcodec: couldn't find codec for "h264"

------------------------------

5. ffmpeg MJPEG with AVI container

ffmpeg -i dvgrab-001.m2t -deinterlace -s 1280x720 -vcodec mjpeg -acodec
mp3 -ab 256k 5.avi

No video or sound in the Viewer, can't even move the navigation button.
The commandline shows this:

new_acodec: couldn't find codec for ""
new_acodec: couldn't find codec for ""
new_acodec: couldn't find codec for ""

------------------------------

Is Cinelerra very picky on the video files it can use or am I making a
mistake here?
