Hi there, Here's an odd one for you which I think I might be the only person in the world getting!
I'm using Xubuntu 6.06 (amd64 version) - transcode 1.0.2 was installed using apt-get from the Ubuntu package repository. I currently produce MPEGs the following way: 1) Generate each frame individually as a 352x288 PNG file - there are over 10,000 at the end of the rendering process. 2) Join them together into a 352x288 25fps RGB raw AVI file using: transcode -i all.lst -g 352x288 --no_split on --avi_limit 4000 --use_rgb -x imlist,null -oall.lstout2.avi -y raw,null 3) Then run TMPGEnc 2.520.54.163 under WINE 0.9.16 to convert it into a plain MPEG1 file. That works fine - until the resulting AVI from transcode reaches a certain threshold (presumably 2GB, but that's just a guess on my part). TMPGEnc converts the AVI file, up to part-way through the job, coincidentally when a new RIFF chunk is started. Is there any possibility of disabling this chunking so that the large file is one large chunk? TMPGEnc can handle plain uncompressed AVI files up to 4GB. Many thanks if you can help me. My current workaround is to transfer
3GB of split up AVI (three bog-standard AVI files) across the network
to a slow Win98 box, join them up into one standard AVI file using VitrualDub, encode that to MPEG using TMPGEnc on that machine, then transfer the MPEG back to my rendering machine. It takes over an hour :/ Naturally I'd like to speed that up by keeping everything on my fast machine :) Here's the transcode output: transcode -i all.lst -g 352x288 --no_split on --avi_limit 4000 --use_rgb -x imlist,null -oall.lstout2.avi -y raw,null transcode v1.0.2 (C) 2001-2003 Thomas Oestreich, 2003-2004 T.
