Re: [Mjpeg-users] VCD 2500vbr better quality than SVCD

Maartin, Your interest in dvgrab/ffmpeg as compared to mpeg2enc is similar to mine. Comparing preprocessing tools (lavrec/dvgrab) in combination with postprocessing tools (ffmpeg/mpeg2enc) may be too difficult to do as now it seems all tools ultimately go thru a generic YUV phase and no input

I was able to resolve the problem with sound I mentioned the other day by simply replacing the i810_audio module detected by redhat9 with the one provided by nvidia: nvaudio: alias sound-slot-0 nvaudio #alias sound-slot-0 i810_audio This board chipset still produces clips with many lost frames.

I just spent the evening looking at various security (cam-based), editing and and PVR solutions for linux. The number of libraries/utils/projects to deal with all the various video/audio codecs/formats and applications are overwhelming. Everywhere I turned tho, mplayer's video player/encoder,

I noticed lots of people running yuvdenoise AND using the -N option on mpeg2enc. isn't this redundant? - Original Message - From: Robert Kesterson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2003 11:12 AM Subject: [Mjpeg-users] Mpeg2enc

Anyone look at mythtv.org for PVR? Looks really great, but if you have a non-v4l, ie, zoran based, card it's unusable (since it hinges on software encoding). Same for DV. I suppose this is realted to inablility to playback realtime while capturing even though theoretically output to a card

Windows just cant hang with intensive CPU and file I/O that these tools require, IMO. The cygwin stuff is there if you just dont want to dual boot into Linux tho. I use it occasionally. - Original Message - From: Gernot Ziegler [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: natarajan thirunavukkarasu [EMAIL

Re: [Mjpeg-users] is it really necessary to kill -9 in glav?

2003-02-07 Thread John Ribera
IMO you should NEVER use SIGKILL to kill off processes. SIGTERM is a perfect signal for this. Allow processes to make a decision whether they should cleanup before terminating, or in some cases - ignore the kill. One of my pet peeves is for people to blindly use -9! I tell my support people at

I bought my first DVD player (see Subject for type). It clearly states on vcdhelp.com that this player does NOT play SVCD but does play VCD and XVCD up to 4000Kb/s. I am aware that XVCD is labled as a non-standard mpeg1 video of resolutions up to SVCD. I suppose I can play with mpeg2enc -f2

I changed line 394: punpcklwd mm5, [INP+8] to these two lines: movd mm2, [INP+8] punpcklwd mm5, mm2 since nasm had a problem with the source size. I hope this works. It's been a while since I have done ASM, z80, x86, 6510 and never have seen the MMX instruction set before
