[CinCV] Re: Cinelerra YUV4MPEG render problems.
Hello again. I've found a workaround, see below. (Yes, it's been this long since I've had to make a DVD project.) On 02/06/2009 02:32 AM, Sean M.

(In between, I've just been making YouTube videos, so no YUV output.) (It appears the bug is in the YUV tools.) Workaround: 1) Create the file mpeg2enc.plugin in a directory accessible to all render farm nodes with the following contents: #!/bin/sh command="mpeg2enc $@ -N 1.0 -4 1 -2 1 -B 2516 -g 7" echo Running $command... $command (You can of course change the stuff after the $@ to suit your preferences, since Cinelerra doesn't give the option to change all of the parameters mpeg2enc supports.) 2) Do chmod +x on that file, 3) Symlink /usr/lib/cinelerra/mpeg2enc.plugin to that file on your main workstation. 4) On all renderfarm nodes, create /usr/lib/cinelerra/mpeg2enc.plugin containing the single line: sh /path/to/shared/mount/mpeg2enc.plugin "$@" (A straight symlink doesn't work on some systems, probably for security reasons.) 5) chmod +x /usr/lib/cinelerra/mpeg2enc.plugin 6) Make sure mjpegtools is installed on all renderfarm nodes. 7) In Cinelerra's Render window, choose MPEG Video for the file format. 8) Click the wrench next to Video and set the Video Compression options as you prefer.

[CinCV] Running with GDB - gathering crash back-traces
Hello, everyone. Here's a quick HOWTO for running Cinelerra under the GNU Debugger (gdb) and getting a back-trace of a crash to help the developers isolate and fix the problem: 1) Install the "gdb" package on your system 2) When you're ready to try to reproduce the crash, open a terminal and enter gdb /path/to/cinelerra 3) When the (gdb) prompt comes up, just type run and hit Enter. 4) Use Cinelerra as needed to trigger the crash. 5) When it crashes, you will get a (gdb) prompt in the terminal again. Type thread apply all bt and press Enter. 6) Keep pressing Enter to view all of the pages until you get a (gdb) prompt back again. (You may have to do it quite a few times depending on how many threads were running.) 7) Copy all of the output from when you started (with the 'run' command) to the final (gdb) prompt into a text file. 8) Attach this file to a bug report or message to this mailing list as appropriate.

Beyond that, if both channels were exactly the same, you can just pan the right one to center and be good. If not, if all the edits were done identically to the left and right, you could hack a copy of the XML file and: 1) copy & paste the entire code block from the right channel 2) search & replace 'CHANNEL="1"' with 'CHANNEL="0"' in the pasted block (or whatever the correct channel number is for your sources.) 3) Change the track name in the tag.

Re: [CinCV] What needs doing, and how do we do it? (was: cinelerra fork)
Dare I ask: what is Heroine Virtual's reluctance to simply being the lead contributor to an otherwise community project? It seems to me that such an arrangement would result in a better product for them and for us, since they can innovate as they prefer and we can smooth out the rough edges after their innovations arrive. This is pretty much how Mixxx handles things using Bazaar branches: we have the main "trunk," then we have code branches for in-development features/fixes that individuals and/or groups work in (either distributed or centralized mode, each contributor can use what he likes.) When one of those branches are ready for merging, a merge request is submitted, the code is reviewed, then signed off by one of the project coordinators/lead developers, and it gets merged into trunk. (All other branches can update from trunk at any time to gain the new upstream features.) But while waiting for that review process (indeed at any time,) anyone can make a custom branch of trunk on his local PC, then merge in any other branches he likes resulting in a build with whatever features he needs/wants now. I believe that capability would address Heroine Virtual's concern of having what they want/need _right now_, while still allowing them to develop alongside the rest of us so we can help or at minimum simply use their work as it progresses instead of having to wait. (I for one would love to be able to work alongside the people with minds AND determination & follow-through that result in such awesome stuff like the VicaCopter, the bad-ass Heroine Clock, and indeed even Cinelerra itself.) Assuming that's agreeable to them, then we would no longer have to waste developer time manually merging an entire HV release into the CV codebase every six months. (Bazaar eats merges for breakfast...it's very good at minimizing conflicts and keeping track of changes.) What do you all think? Most importantly, what does Heroine Virtual think? Sincerely, Sean M.

Re: [CinCV] NTSC/PAL HDV question
Hello there. I'm not an expert, having never used HD footage in Cinelerra yet, so others may chime in here. First of all, you'll want to set the project settings in Cinelerra to your target output format (whether thats 720x576i @ 25fps or 1920x1080p @ 25fps or whatever.) Then make sure Cinelerra is correctly detecting the format of the source video (right-click it in the Media window and choose Info.) I know that at least on SD, NTSC uses bottom-field-first and PAL uses top-field-first. I would imagine it's the same for HD, so you might first try changing the field order of the source video in the Info box. (If the field order is wrong, you'll see horrible shaking on slow pans & motion.) If that doesn't make a difference, you'll probably need to de-interlace the source using a de-interlace effect on the whole track, then the rendering engine will take care of re-interlacing if the project settings specify it. (To prevent detail loss, see the topics on the following wiki page about "Defeating Interlacing" and "Making video look like film." http://cinelerra.org/docs/split_manual_en/cinelerra_cv_manual_en_21.html) Hope this helps!

I'm not in front of my system, but I would suggest making multiple overlaid tracks. Use the Hue saturation effect on the lower track with saturation all the way down to give you a black & white image. Then on the upper track, you essentially want an inverted chroma key (with alpha channel so the lower track shows through.) Taking a guess, you might try using Chroma key (HSV) and select the color directly 180 degrees opposite to red on the wheel, then increase the threshold to near maximum as you prefer. If that doesn't work, you can try essentially creating a mask using Chroma key to show everything but the red you want on a third track, then using the Difference Key effect on this and the original track.

Re: [CinCV] Re: my incompetence or buggy as hell?
Wow, this thread has garnered quite some response. For the record, I've been using Cinelerra occasionally (since I don't have much video work recently) on an HP xw9300 workstation (2x Dual-core Opteron with 2GB RAM) running Debian Lenny (now Squeeze) AMD64 kernel & packages. Using the AMD64 Cinelerra package from Valentina Messeri's repo and debian-multimedia's AMD64 repo to fill in the gaps. I've been quite pleased with Cinelerra on this system. Yes there are a couple bugs with some effects, and you have to save often (thankfully it's one keystroke (s) so I do it after almost every successful edit) but once you get into that habit, it's very usable.

Heroine Virtual even says that Cinelerra is more stable in 64-bit than 32. In fact, I purchased the workstation I did due to their system requirements. I'm also coming from Adobe Premiere 4.2 on SGI/IRIX, and if you want to talk about buggy...I had so many workarounds for bugs on that thing it was a large project just to do a slide show video (having to render stills differently than motion due to artifacts, then trying to join them later in a way that didn't mess up the field order, with really only Motion JPEG-A Quicktime as a choice since all the other codecs were buggy in one way or another! Oy!) What took me a day or more on that takes me minutes on Cinelerra, so I don't mind the occasional crash, especially with the console output to see what went wrong. My 2c. Sincerely, Sean M.

Make the project 720x576, then apply a Transform video effect to the entire video clip. Adjust the scale settings to correct the aspect ratio. (I think you need to have input values match the source video and the output values match the project. I forget exactly. Try messing around with the values.)

Will you be displaying the rendered output on some live display during recording, or do you just need reliable real-time capture? If the latter, why not just capture the raw DV streams with dvgrab or similar, then edit them in Cinelerra later to create the split-screen effect? If the former, you might be able to set up a pipe using dvgrab and a series of mjpegtools to accomplish what you need. Something like dvgrab | lavplay | yuvscaler > fifoTop.yuv and a similar command for the bottom half in a second terminal (on a second processor core, preferably.) I don't know if yuvplay supports joining, but if so, in a third terminal you could try yuvplay fifoTop.yuv fifoBottom.yuv | mpeg2enc -o final.mpg Sean <<->> This E-Mail message has been scanned for viruses and cleared by >>SmartMail<< from Smarter Technology, Inc. <<->> ___ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra

Don't think you can do it globally, but from a single frame, it helps to expand the size of the video tracks (using the combobox at the bottom of the timeline) then right-click the curve tangent point and click Delete.

FWIW, I recently worked around this by choosing MPEG-2 Video in the output format list rather than YUV4MPEG. This still uses mpeg2enc, somehow bypassing the 2YUV stage, but gives you less control over mpeg2enc's options, unfortunately. But at least I could get my project done. Hope this helps you in the meantime.

Do that and get back to us with the output. In the meantime, can you play the video files in xine or mplayer? Sincerely, Sean M.

Re: [CinCV] Cinelerra YUV4MPEG render problems.
Hi again. Daniel Harris wrote: > I was having the same problem but I cant remember if it was a problem > with the video format ( lets face it cin is pretty sensitive when it > comes to file formats) or the pipe command. I'm using raw DV input files as I always have. It's not the pipe because I can disable it, rendering to an uncompressed YUV file, and it still happens. (And any time that message is displayed, the new frame is dropped, so it looks like the video is paused.) Has this area been changed in the latest version of Cinelerra? (I can't get it yet because the AMD64 Debian package still depends on lame0 when it's now called liblame0.) I found a way around for this current project (a DCT filter in DVD-Lab which cheaply lowers the file size and quality, which is okay for the segment I'm doing it to) but I'll be screwed for new projects if I can't figure this out. Will mpeg2enc take anything other than YUV as input? Or can I render back to DV for minimal loss then do the DV-to-YUV-to-MPEG conversion outside Cinelerra? Thanks for your time! Sincerely, Sean M.

[CinCV] Cinelerra YUV4MPEG render problems.
Hello there. I was trying to use Cinelerra today to re-render a sub-project so it'll fit on a DVD. But I'm getting strange errors now using the YUV2MPEG output rendering: [swscaler @ 0x...]Slices start in the middle! Basically anywhere I'm not rendering any effects (source video is being copied to the output.) I recall this happening last month as well. (In between, I've just been making YouTube videos, so no YUV output.) This is on Cinelerra 2.1CV, compiled 6 Jul 2008, on Debian Lenny/Testing, kernel 2.6.26-1-amd64 on a dual-Opteron system. Is there anything I can try? Sincerely, Sean M.
