change frame rate
by Shiyuan 28 Feb '14

28 Feb '14

Hi, I have an avi video with 5000 frames. The original frame rate is 15 frames/per second, and it takes 300 seconds to play the whole video. I want the video to play faster so that it takes less time to complete, so I change the frame rate using the following command: mencoder in.avi -o out.avi -ofps 100 -ovc copy However, out.avi still take around 300 seconds to complete, even though out.avi does have fps of 100fps according to the info displayed by mplayer. What command options should I use if I want the output video to be complete in 50 sec? Thanks. Shiyuan

Help with mencoder
by JD 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

Hi, I wanted to combine 12 flash video files (from youtube) into a single avi file. So I did cat at Zachar*.flv > Zach_all.flv $ mencoder Zach_all.flv -o Zach_all.avi -forceidx -ovc copy -oac pcm The output shows skipping frames, and missing aspect information, as you see below. What do I need to do to fix that, so thet when I am transcoding into .avi, I do not get these skips and missing aspect info?

Help with MPG video encoding
by Walter Belhaven 20 Apr '13

20 Apr '13

Hi, I've got a question on how to get the best possible MPG encoding of a movie source, "at any price" so to speak -- i.e., as many bits as the encoder needs to get the highest possible video quality. It appears to me that the MPG encoding process is introducing artifacts that are present regardless of the amount of "free reign" I give to the encoder with respect to quantization, bitrate, and the like. My bottom line question is thus: "Are these artifacts inherent in MPG encoding, or am I just not twiddling the knobs and dials on the encoder correctly?" Here's all the details ... My source is a mixed hard- and soft-telecined "movie" at 1080/60i that I'm trying to tanscode to 480/24p, soft telecined to 480/60i, for ultimate burning to an NTSC DVD-Video. When I use mencoder to inverse telecine, crop out the crud, expand back to the original letterbox ratio (it's 2.35:1, not 16/9), and 'encode' the video with HUFFYUV (422P), the resulting video looks stunning, with no 'blocking' artifacts to speak of. This, of course, is as expected. But when I encode the video in MPG2 or MPG4, even with vqscale=1 or vqscale=2, I see sometimes severe blocking in the resulting video. Is this because the chroma is being subsampled vertically and horizontally (4:2:0), or is it because 'vqscale' is (perhaps necessary but) not sufficient to get "maximum quality at any price" encoding?

mpeg4 asp

A lot of 'asp' documentation I've read from various sources has a good deal to say about motion compensation. A lot of mencoder/libavcodec documentation covers motion estimation. In the libavcodec realm, Is compensation tied into estimation in such that when you address estimation with the various tunables, are you somewhere 'under the hood' making compensation decisions as well? Even though I'm not a programmer, I've tried to read the source to answer some of my questions, but looking directly at the code isn't taking me where I need to go. Perhaps I just need pointers to specific header/source files? I'm sure if I could gain a better understanding of how compensation works in libavcodec, I would be better able to wield the codec. In short, would someone being willing to provide a brief description of how the two tie together? Cheers, Steve. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab

Hi Everyone, When transcode a M4V video file to a WMV, the resulting WMV is out-of-sync. The audio gradually going out of sync with the video. I'm only having this problem with M4V files.
