Hi,
Hope there is still someone here: I am trying hard to compile and get a
fully working transcode ...
[If you don't want to read the tests, please jump to the "Questions" at
the end of this email.]
*** I tried various combination of transcode + ffmpeg :
TEST 1) ffmpeg-0.8.5 + transcode-1.1.5 OR ffmpeg-0.8.5 + transcode-HG
- Compilation: compile problems because of changes in ffmpeg API (eg,
define of CODEC_TYPE_VIDEO missing, ...)
- Result: transcode not working even if I try to overcome compilation
problems
- Note: ffmpeg-0.8.5 is the current version used on my system for all
other applications
TEST 2) ffmpeg-0.7.4 + transcode-1.1.5 OR ffmpeg-0.6.3 + transcode-1.1.5
- Installation: I have installed a second ffmpeg in
/usr/local/ffmpeg-0.x.x directory
- Compilation: minor problems because it seems that transcode doesn't
cope well with ffmpeg _not_ installed in standard directories
- Result: transcode partially working:
transcode -J stabilize -i mvi_5211.avi -y null,null -o dummy
results in a segfault:
"
[import_ffmpeg.so] input is mjpeg, reducing range from YUVJ420P to YUV420P
[filter_levels.so] instance #2
[filter_levels.so] v1.2.0 (2007-06-07) Luminosity level scaler
[filter_levels.so] scaling 0-255 gamma 1.000000 to 16-240 (pre-process)
Segmentation fault
"
However, If I add -x mplayer,mplayer to the command line, it works (but
it's not the normal way to proceed)
TEST 3) ffmpeg-0.7.4 + transcode-HG OR ffmpeg-0.6.3 + transcode-HG
- Compilation: minor problems because it seems that transcode doesn't
cope well with ffmpeg _not_ installed in standard directories
- Result: transcode not working, ends with this error (import format is
correctly detected as mjpeg):
transcode-1.2 --threads 4 -J stabilize -i mvi_5211.avi -y null,null -o
dummy
"
[tcmoduleregistry.c] critical: empty format name
[transcode] critical: unable to find the video encoder module and none
specified
[transcode] critical: can't setup export modules
[transcode] critical: plug-in initialization failed
"
Note : by transcode-HG I mean the latest version downloaded here and
tagged 1.2.0 : http://hg.berlios.de/repos/tcforge
*** Questions :
1) could someone give me a working combination of transcode + ffmpeg ?
(for example: "it works using transcode-1.1.5 + ffmpeg-0.6.1")
2) I don't understand the versions numbers: shouldn't
"http://hg.berlios.de/repos/tcforge"; contains the 1.1.6-rc version ? (it
contains 1.2.0 ...). So where to find the 1.1.6 version that Georg
Martius talks about on it's stabilization plugin page ?
3) I know that you are lacking resource, but Is there any plan to
support the new ffmpeg abi ?
Thanks for your help,
Xavier
P.S. I use transcode since ages (since 2001 I think), and I am still
using it for doing format conversion (movie editing) and for its really
great image stabilization plugin !
