Hi, The Messages log only seems to give limited information, is anything like a debug log available? - i.e. is there any way to see what's going on under the hood?
I'm really enjoying working with LiVES, not least because I was able to solve a transcoding problem I was seriously stuck on with command-line tools. But...the particular transcoding process takes several minutes to go through, and repeating the same procedure through LiVES every time I make a change to my source data is getting a bit tedious. So ideally I'd like to put together a little shell script to automate, leave using LiVES for the more interesting bits. But I can't really tell what's going on. I'm guessing LiVES makes direct calls on the relevant libs for processing, but as the setup seems to be quite pluggable/declarative, I'm rather hoping these calls would be logged somewhere. What I'm doing is sync'ing a LibreOffice presentation with some music (I did find other tools/methods of doing this, but this is the only way I found that allowed rapid slide transitions, in time with the beats). I'm running on Ubuntu 11.10. The full process is: # *** Preprocessing # export from LibreOffice as HTML (OpenOffice Impress) - this produces a directory full of screenshot .png files, with a bit of HTML to glue them together # resize.sh - a little script I have for resizing the images from 800x600 to 640x480 # rm html/*.html - little bit of cleanup # python rename.py - another little script, the naming of the images isn't properly in sequence, this fixes it # glue the images into a video # mencoder "mf://html/*.png" -ovc x264 -mf fps=1.16666667 -o output.avi *** Now - LiVES **** open output.avi resample to 25fps load audio (final.mp3) Encode & save - multi_encoder, High Quality AVI (XVID/MP3), mp3 I assume I should be able to also wrap the bits from mencoder onwards into a script - but how? kutgw, Danny. -- http://dannyayers.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
