Mac OSX binaries

I know I have asked about this in the past. I've attempted a few times to get mencoder and mplayer to build properly on my Mac, but the goal seems elusive, despite being reassured that the process is easy. There's always a library or dependency that's missing and the resulting binary is never complete with all needed features. Has anyone got a working binary for mencoder and mplayer for the mac that was built from up-to-date sources? The links from the Mplayer page point to a Mplayer only build ( http://www.haque.net/software/mplayer/mplayerosx/builds/ ) or binaries that are over 5 years old ( http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=62947 ). Has someone got a working set of binaries that they'd care to share with me? Thanks. __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4116 (20090529) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com

Huge AVI file after mencoder encoding
by Mr. Man 02 Jun '09

Dear All, I'd like to ask your help, because I'm a bit stucked with mencoder conversion. Previously I used a 3-pass conversion - similar with the below configuration - and however somehow the results weren't around 700MByte, but still between 800-1000Mbyte. The conversion finished in approx 4 hours nicely. I reviewed my code to change to 2-pass (since 3-pass is obsolete in mencoder), and at this moment I use: 1-st pass: mencoder example.vob -aid 128 -oac copy -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=-700000:pass=1 -vf pp=de,crop=X:X:X:X -passlogfile divx2pass.log -o "/dev/null" 2-nd pass: mencoder example.vob -aid 128 -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=128:aq=3:mode=1 -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=-700000:pass=2 -vf pp=de,crop=X:X:X:X -o "result.avi" With the above the encoding time takes 5:30 hours and the bigger problem is that the AVI file becomes huge. For example: VIDEO: MPEG2 720x576 (aspect 2) 25.000 fps 7500.0 kbps (937.5 kbyte/s) AUDIO: 48000 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 192.0 kbit/12.50% (ratio: 24000->192000) Length: 74 minutes This above black-white movie in VOB is originally 3.9GByte, the AVI is 2.7GByte. An another video VIDEO: MPEG2 720x576 (aspect 2) 25.000 fps 9500.0 kbps (1187.5 kbyte/s) AUDIO: 48000 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 192.0 kbit/12.50% (ratio: 24000->192000) Length: 110 minutes This above black-white movie in VOB is originally 4.1GByte, the AVI is 5.5GByte. I'm pretty sure that something is wrong with the above encoding settings - and neither with the videos nor my system - because the 3-pass encoding works smoothly with more realistic AVI sizes (like said above, less than 1GByte, around 800-900MByte). The only thing I changed from 3pass to 2pass is adding aq=3:mode=1 to the mp3 conversion...but I'm skeptic that this causes the extra gigs. wink.gif I use Debian/squeeze and the stable packages (mplayer, mencoder, etc) from Debian Multimedia site. In general I'd like to make only an AVI backup of my DVDs (I have them at home, while travelling I watch the movies from the AVIs): so an outstanding AVI quality is not expected only a decent one. The output should be around the 700MByte limit (my next question will be why the bitrate=-700000 doesn't work... smile.gif ), the conversion time doesn't matter too much as I do it overnight. I don't stick to the 700MByte size, the 1GByte approx size is fine + x264 encoding tips are welcomed. Any help is really appreciated. thanks, nm

Video framerate problem
by Andrew Berg 02 Jun '09

I'm in the process of ripping my DVDs, and I came across one that gives me problems. I ripped 3 film DVDs today, all with the same settings (except for hqdn3d values), and 2 came out fine. Unfortunately, there is one with the video finishing before the audio. I have no idea why two were fine, and this one is bad. They're all films, and I used the same process for all. I looked over the movie quickly and didn't notice MPlayer playing it at anything but 24000/1001 FPS except for a tiny bit at the beginning. mencoder dvd://1 -dvd-device /j/ -msglevel all=1:statusline=5 -fps 30000/1001 -ofps 24000/1001 -of avi -oac copy -ovc x264 -x264encopts crf=19:keyint=300:keyint_min=30:level_idc=41:frameref=4:mixed_refs:weightb:bframes=4:b_adapt=2:b_pyramid:me_range=24:direct_pred=auto:partitions=all:cabac:8x8dct:me=hex:trellis=1:subq=5:threads=auto:nointerlaced:nopsnr:nossim -vf pullup,softskip,hqdn3d,harddup -o movie.avi ffmpeg -i movie.avi -f wav -ac 2 -ar 48000 - 2>nul | neroaacenc -ignorelength -q 0.25 -if - -of movie.m4a mp4box -aviraw video movie.avi mp4box -add movie_video.h264:fps=23.976 -add movie.m4a -new movie.mp4
