At least OGG Theora/Vorbis doesn't die at the end of the rendering, however, the video is just black and there is no sound if I try to play the resulting file with mplayer, kaffeine or VLC player. > --__--__-- > > Message: 3 > Subject: Re: [CinCV] Cineralla crashes at end of rendering > From: James Youngquist <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2009 09:56:33 -0800 > Reply-To: [email protected] > > > Murray, > > Another thing to try is to NOT render directly from > Cinelerra to your > final output format.

I don't see where, within Cinelerra, to issue such a command. The only video and audio options I see are Window AVI, Quicktime for LINUX. I can also just export the video as MPEG (*.m2v), but the result cannot be viewed in any of my players (one, I cannot remember which, says that it cannot determine the aspect ration). I am not terribly familiar with the scripts, and certainly know nothing about ffmpeg or mencoder. I have looked at the man pages, but cannot say I really understand them yet. > For example, export your video as a YUV4MPEG stream with > the following > command, > > ffmpeg -f yuv4mpeg -i - -y -threads 2 -vcodec huffyuv -f matroska % > > and change the file extension to .mkv (extensions don't > really matter, I am guessing that the above is done in a terminal. But what was done first with Cinelerra to create the yuv4mpeg file? I assume that is the input for ffmpeg and that matroska is the output -- is that correct?
