Hi all! First of all I'd like to introduce myself: My name is Ansgar, I'm from Duesseldorf, Germany and I'm still new to Cinelerra, though I've spent a fair amount of time with her so far, compiling once (on openSuSE 10.3) and installing twice (2nd time from rpm on openSuSE 11.1).
I haven't actually begun to work with cin yet and that's because playback is crippled to 10 - 15 frames per second, which is not usable (my hardware: AthlonXP 2000+ processor, 1.5 GB RAM, 250GB HDD, graphics not worth mentioning - but I don't need 3D-acceleration for cin, do I?). Someone on IRC (can't remember who) suggested, that this might be, because I use MPEG2-video on the timeline. Indeed I imported the .vob-files directly. So which format will make cinelerra happier? Which is her "native" file format to work on? And, most important: How can I create it / transcode .vob's into it? I understand that the lesser the compression, the better playback should be. So I've tried avidemux (which is a great tool!) and turned the vob's into .avi containing "YV12 (raw)" streams - but cin wouldn't import the file. Is there another codec that you would suggest? Or is it the AVI container format that keeps cin from performing? I'm prepared to use transcode or mencoder from the commandline, but I just can't figure out which options I should use. :-( BTW: After editing I transcode my video to X264/mp3. Thanks in advance, Ansgar _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
