Re: [CinCV] avi yuv2 render size is huge and no playback plugins

[E Chalaron]

Because yuv2 are uncompressed data, try playing that from a command line using lqtplay once exported to quicktime. Nothing else will work as far as I know. If you are working with data from a camcorder, your video stream is most likely decompressed  and full of zeroes or something useless. So unless you are sampling a 422 or Tiff files, probably better off to forget about it.

In any case, the video is huge, and not just a bit-for-bit copy of the input avi. Why is that? from the command line: "cinelerra fan.avi" (you can get this file at  http://www.speakeasy.net/~morse/fan.avi - it is only 500kB. Settings>Format 512x384 File>Render to "fanr.avi", File Format = Microsft AVI, Create new resources only. Ignore three errors about "virtual int FileMOV::read_frame(VFrame*) quicktime_read_frame_quicktime_decode_video failed, result:" One kind of expects this to be a file copy, since nothing has changed but in fact creates a file that is 20 times larger, its 10 gigabytes!! cinelerra CAN play it. youtube CAN play it (only tested on amd64) totem FAILS to play it (see below) vlc FAILS to play it (see below) xine plays it with CORRUPTED COLORS (see below) Reproduced on the following installs: *** Totally fresh install, Ubuntu 8.10 + security updates + akirad repository 'cinelerracv-smp'+ Medibuntu w64codecs on amd64 machine + xine-ui package *** Old Debian Etch x86-32 system. TOTEM FAILURE NOTES: It just plays the sound, then at the end errors with "The playback of this movie requires a video/x-avi-unknown decoder plugin which is not installed."
