Hi, I want to use "--export_prof dvd" to set encoding to DVD compliant first, for those many many parameters that I don't have a clue how to set on the command line. However, that comes with a price that the destination frame size is fixed.
I really wish that transcode comes with a switch that allows me to disable zooming, ie, encode to the original frame size. I have this 352x288 sized video, and want the transcoded frame side to be that as well. I was having a hard time circumventing the currently transcode limitation that imposes the frame size. How can I do that? This is what I've been trying: First, I tell transcode to zoom to 352x288, but it gave me 352x576: $ transcode -i "test.mpg" --ext none,none --export_prof dvd -Z 352x288,fast --export_asr 2 -M 4 -s 2 -o "test-.m2v" -m "test-.mpa" -M 2 -y mpeg2enc,ffmpeg -N 0x2000 -E 48000 -b 128 -F 3,'-b 2600 -I 1' -I 2 --pre_clip off -c 0:0-00:5:0 [transcode] V: import frame | 352x288 1.22:1 encoded @ 4:3 XXX: zoom=yes pre_clip=yes [transcode] V: pre clip frame | 352x288 (0,0,0,0) [transcode] V: de-interlace | (mode=2) handled by encoder (if available) [transcode] V: fast resize | Using -B 0,0,8 -X 36,0,8 [transcode] V: new aspect ratio | 352x576 0.61:1 (-X) On seeming above, I gave my own -B & -X, but transcode (mystically) zooms to 720x576: $ transcode -i "test.mpg" --ext none,none --export_prof dvd -B 0,0,8 -X 0,0,8 --export_asr 2 -M 4 -s 2 -o "test-.m2v" -m "test-.mpa" -M 2 -y mpeg2enc,ac3 -N 0x2000 -E 48000 -b 128 -F 3,'-b 1380 -I 1' -I 2 --pre_clip off -c 0:0-00:5:0 [transcode] V: import frame | 352x288 1.22:1 encoded @ 4:3 XXX: zoom=yes pre_clip=yes [transcode] V: pre clip frame | 352x288 (0,0,0,0) [transcode] V: de-interlace | (mode=2) handled by encoder (if available) [transcode] V: new aspect ratio | 352x288 1.22:1 (-X) [transcode] V: new aspect ratio | 352x288 1.22:1 (-B) [transcode] V: zoom | 720x576 1.25:1 (Lanczos3) Again, I gave my own zoomed frame size, then overwrote the -B & -X parameters with my own, but still it gave me 352x576: $ transcode -i "test.mpg" --ext none,none --export_prof dvd -Z 352x288,fast -B 0,0,8 -X 0,0,8 --export_asr 2 -M 4 -s 2 -o "test-.m2v" -m "test-.mpa" -M 2 -y mpeg2enc,ffmpeg -N 0x2000 -E 48000 -b 128 -F 3,'-b 2600 -I 1' -I 2 --pre_clip off -c 0:0-00:5:0 [transcode] V: import frame | 352x288 1.22:1 encoded @ 4:3 XXX: zoom=yes pre_clip=yes [transcode] V: pre clip frame | 352x288 (0,0,0,0) [transcode] V: fast resize | Using -B 0,0,8 -X 36,0,8 [transcode] V: new aspect ratio | 352x576 0.61:1 (-X) I now hopeless, please help.
