[Mjpeg-users] troublesome silence

2004-02-08 Thread Dragon_at_work
So far so good. I can take a directory of JPEGs and AVIs from my digital camera(s), and make them into a(n) (S)VCD compatable movie. Only one slight problem, though. I am certain MJPEG tools have done an excellent job. But, as the movie progresses, there is a considerable difference in the syn

Thanks to Steven Schultz, for his former advise. My myriad of photographs can now be made into a VCD and posted home. Running into a bit of a problem merging y4m files together. For some reason I can only merge two using the 'Schultz Method' of CATing the y4m files. Here is my basic schema:

[Mjpeg-users] joining lots of MPEGs together

2004-01-18 Thread Dragon_at_work
I am trying to join together a LOT of smaller MPEGs together. I can use VCDIMAGER to do this up to 98 files. And that works great. But, what about more than 98 files? I have tried to use MPGTX -J MPGTX seems to join the lot together (verified with mplayer), however, vcdimager does not want t

[Mjpeg-users] how to join m1v and mp2 files?

2004-01-12 Thread Dragon_at_work
How would I join multiple m1v and mp2 files in a way that would later lend itself to mplexing them. I tried cat. And it seemed to work for both types. But, mplex was unable to join them properly --ie the video worked, but the audio did not. ---
