Hi, I'm still looking for some hints regarding a problem when transcoding movies. Can someone at least confirm whether the problem still exists in the most recent transcode version? Is it likely that the problem is in transcode itself or should I look at libavcodec or some other library?
Here the problem again: sometimes strange artifacts appear in the resulting movies that did not exist in the original. I use the following commands: > transcode -r 2,1 -i clip.avi -R 1,clip.log -w 600 -o /dev/null \ -b 96 -y xvid4 -Q 5 -e 44100,16,2 -M 1 >run1.log 2>&1 > transcode -r 2,1 -i clip.avi -R 2,clip.log -w 600 -o result.avi \ -b 96 -y xvid4 -Q 5 -e 44100,16,2 -M 1 >run2.log 2>&1 Beginning at frame 2186 there are some artifacts in the result.avi: http://www.bartelmus.de/transcode/result_2186.jpg The involved files can be found here: http://www.bartelmus.de/transcode/clip.avi http://www.bartelmus.de/transcode/clip.log http://www.bartelmus.de/transcode/run1.log http://www.bartelmus.de/transcode/run2.log http://www.bartelmus.de/transcode/result.avi In the terminal output I can see the following: encoding frames [000000-002176], 76.75 fps, EMT: 0:01:27, ( 0| 0| 6) [mpeg4 @ 0xb5bb0ba8]slice end not reached but screenspace end (-8 left 052FFC, score= -2185) [mpeg4 @ 0xb5bb0ba8]concealing 864 DC, 864 AC, 864 MV errors encoding frames [000000-002177], 76.70 fps, EMT: 0:01:27, ( 0| 0| 9) I don't know if this is related or only there by coincidence. I'm using v1.0.2 on Debian Etch. The binaries come from debian- multimedia.org. Any pointers? Cheers, Christoph
