Hi,

 

I converted some files using transcode on Linux (on an x86-64 kernel) to avi
(from PVN) for a (windows) powerpoint presentation using the following
commandline:

  transcode -i file.pvn -o file.avi -x pvn,null -y raw,null -z -V rgb24

 

The files were playing properly in windows-based media players, and even in
powerpoint.  However, the single-image previews that show up in the
presentation before the video is clicked on seemed to be skewed (the whole
image is on a diagonal).  This happened consistently with multiple input
files.  When I then encoded it using ffmpeg, I believe using mjpeg,
everything appeared ok.

 

I guess it could be possible that the issue is powerpoint, but I have a
feeling that it's more likely that the preview in RAW avi's aren't encoded
properly, since I've used other raw avi's in the past without this issue.

 

Maybe someone could run a quick test to see if I'm not the only one with
this prob?  For the record, in case it matters, I imported into powerpoint
2003 on windows xp.  I did this in transcode v1.1.0-alpha7 on Linux 2.6.17.1
#1 SMP Wed Jun 21 15:34:17 EDT 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux (Fedora
Core 5).  For the record, I have had older versions of transcode on the
machine before, but I would think that it's using whatever 'raw' output lib
came with that particular d/l.

 

If I'm not the only one, maybe, this could be fixed before 1.10?

 

Jack
