Here's a somewhat backwards question: Is it possible to mencode an avi file that is playable through lavplay and an MJPEG card?
The mencoder is MEncoder 1.0pre7try2-3.4.4, lavplay is (haven't gotten around to update yet) lavplay1.6.1.90 and the MJPEG cards are AverMedia 6 Eyes and Miro DC10+. Lavplay will "play" the file on the 6 Eyes, but with severely messed up syncs and no recognizable picture. Given the state of that driver, I'm not all that surprised. Lavplay will play the file on the DC10+, but with severely messed up picture. About 25% of all DCT blocks seem to work, but out of order. 25% of them are more or less solid green or magenta, and 50% are mini versions of green, noisy blocks. It's quite funky, actually, though not very useful. The material I re-encoded was a DVD which I scaled to 352x288. The lavinfo output does not differ in any significant way from the output when examining a file captured by lavrec at decimation 2. Mencoder command line: mencoder -vf scale,expand=0:-90:0:0 -zoom -xy 352 -aid 128 dvd://1 -chapter 2-2 -o /video/title2.avi -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mjpeg:vbitrate=500 Mencoder file lavinfo: video_frames=2059 video_width=352 video_height=288 video_inter=0 video_norm=PAL video_fps=25.000000 video_sar_width=0 video_sar_height=0 max_frame_size=14862 MJPG_chroma=2 has_audio=1 audio_bps=4 audio_chans=2 audio_bits=16 audio_rate=48000 num_video_files=1 Lavrec file lavinfo: video_frames=250 video_width=352 video_height=288 video_inter=0 video_norm=PAL video_fps=25.000000 video_sar_width=0 video_sar_height=0 max_frame_size=26116 MJPG_chroma=2 has_audio=1 audio_bps=2 audio_chans=1 audio_bits=16 audio_rate=44100 num_video_files=1 Being able to do this would be useful, as I kind of like the frame exact way you can control lavplay when making clip lists. Unfortunately, the software player mode simply refuse to work on this machine. /Sam ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
