[MEncoder-users] Encoding with an EDL

[Olivier Rolland]

Hi,

I'm trying to encode 1 second of a movie every 20 seconds. This movie
having a length of 8000 seconds, here a sample of the EDL file I've
defined:

1 20 0
21 40 0
41 60 0
...
7981 8000

I expect the result to have a length of roughly 400 seconds (5% of
8000 seconds). However, none of the tests I've made gave me that
length. The result is either shorter when I use -hr-edl-seek (210
seconds) or much larger (4000 seconds) without -hr-edl-seek.

What am I missing ?

I'm using mencoder dev-SVN-r23350-4.1.2 and here is the command line I used:

$ mencoder -nosound -sws 7 -zoom -vf
crop=720:416:0:80,scale=576:240,hqdn3d=2:1:2,harddup -ovc xvid
-xvidencopts autoaspect:vhq=0:turbo:trellis:max_bframes=2:fixed_quant=2
-edl edl.txt -hr-edl-seek -o sample.avi dvd://1
