Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kino
Kino 1.1.0 Ubuntu Gutsy
When importing a .AVI file from Canon still cameras (both A720IS and an
IXUS), the import appears to complete, but the imported DV file is very
short (about 2s instead of 30s). It appears that most of the frames have
been dropped.
Kino runs ffmpeg to convert from .AVI to DV format.
Running Kino from a terminal, ffmpeg reports the following over and
over:
[dvvideo @ 0xb7e81a68]Can't process DV frame #2. Insufficient audio data
or severe sync problem.
This is a known problem with .AVI videos from Canon still cameras,
perhaps something to do with its non-standard audio sample rate of 11024
(rather than 11025) samples per second.
Three possible solutions or workarounds:
One:
If mencoder is installed, then Kino uses mencoder to do the conversion.
However, the Ubuntu kino package does not mencoder, not even a 'suggests'.
Perhaps the Ubuntu package could recommend mencoder, the same as it does ffmpeg.
Two:
Fix ffmpeg so that it imports Canon .AVI properly. I can send a sample if
needed. This would need work from the ffmpeg people.
Three:
Do the conversion in 2 stages: this would need work from the Kino people:
1. convert audio to pcm_s16le, 48kHz using ffmpeg
2. combine this audio file with the DV video using ffmpeg a second time
