[BUG?] MEncoder/lavc assertion failed in ratecontrol.c:587
by Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 08 Aug '04

Hello. I'm trying to encode the 2001: A Space Odyssey DVD to mpeg4 using lavc on to 2 CDs, preserving original audio stream. Unfortunately, mencoder seems to be unable to complete the second pass, the assertion libavcodec/ratecontrol.c:587: [...] if(s->flags&CODEC_FLAG_PASS2){ assert(picture_number>=0); assert(picture_number<rcc->num_entries); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ rce= &rcc->entry[picture_number]; wanted_bits= rce->expected_bits; }else{ rce= &local_rce; wanted_bits= (uint64_t)(s->bit_rate*(double)picture_number/fps); } [...] always fails on the last frame. Even stranger, this happens only if I encode chapters 1-16 or 1-17. If I encode only chapter 16 or 17, all is fine. I've tried MEncoder-CVS 2003/11/30 and 2003/12/02 (with the same libavcodec versions), both exhibit the same behaviour $ mplayer -identify -frames 0 dvd://1 MPlayer dev-RPM-CVS-031202-20:02-3.2.2 (C) 2000-2003 MPlayer Team CPU: Advanced Micro Devices Athlon Thunderbird 1173 MHz (Family: 6, Stepping: 2) Detected cache-line size is 64 bytes CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 0 SSE2: 0 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 3DNow 3DNowEx Reading config file /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf Reading config file /home/dominik/.mplayer/config Reading /home/dominik/.mplayer/codecs.conf: 60 audio & 151 video codecs font: can't open file: /home/dominik/.mplayer/font/font.desc font: can't open file: /usr/share/mplayer/font/font.desc Using Linux hardware RTC timing (1024Hz).

Streaming video (ASX format)
by Gautam.Mundle＠colorado.edu 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

Hi, I am trying to set up a multicast network to deliver video to clients. I have a win2000 server running windows media encoder and windows media server. I have a link to a .asx file.My .asx file then has a hyperlink to a station.nsc file which has some encrypted information. Now when i try to open my .asx file through my browser using the link,it opens the media player which says opening and waiting..it just sits there. could you provide any guidelines as to what could be the issue here. isnt my station.nsc file supposed to get the media stream(ASF stream..also I am using a .avi file as input to the encoder..could that be an issue). this is an university project and any help would be beneficial, thanks.

mending vob files
by hdp＠webmail.co.za 17 Feb '04

17 Feb '04

Hi guys, I have four vob files, the first three of 1gb each, the last of about 500mb, of one movie, that I wish to make one long vob of. I tried cat *.vob | mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy -o movie.vob - but got this error about a 20 seconds or so into the copy: Too many audio packets in the buffer: (4096 in 8241152 bytes). Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed? For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option. adding -ni didn't help If I just cat them together the image is fine, but sound is completely buggerd. What is the correct way of doing this? Thank you Kind regards Hans du Plooy hdp(a)webmail.co.za

codec tsccvid.dll: playback fails if vid.res. is 1024:768 (device is incompatible with this codec)
by Thomas Kranz 16 Feb '04

16 Feb '04

Hi mplayer-users and developers, I'm posting here because I got a tscc-codec problem and no answer/solution from the users list. The codec is in the codec-package of mplayer. I've a severe problem: I have here some lectures recorded with a screen capture tool developed by Techsmith. The playback of videos with 800:600 works fine but the new lectures are recorded with 1024:768 and the playback with the latest mplayer doesn't work: Opening video decoder: [vfw] Win32/VfW video codecs ======= Win32 (VFW) VIDEO Codec init ======= Loading codec DLL: 'tsccvid.dll' get_path('registry') -> '/home/thomas/.mplayer/registry' Loaded DLL driver tsccvid.dll ICDecompressGetFormatSize ret: 40 ICDecompressGetFormat OK VDec: vo config request - 1024 x 768 (preferred csp: Packed YUY2) [PP] Using codec's postprocessing, max q = 9. Trying filter chain: vo Could not find matching colorspace - retrying with -vf scale... Opening video filter: [scale] SwScale params: -1 x -1 (-1=no scaling) Trying filter chain: scale vo The selected video_out device is incompatible with this codec. VDecoder init failed :( Cannot find codec matching selected -vo and video format 0x63637374. Read DOCS/HTML/en/codecs.html! "selected video_out device" is incompatible with this codec is the first hint for me, so I tried different output devices and x11 color depth - no success. Has anybody a hint or solution to playback the video. Examples videos can be found eg. at http://porta.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/lectures/TI1/LocalReplay/AVI/ (This are the working ones). But the TI2 lecture has videos which aren't working with the described problems: http://porta.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/lectures/TI2/02-ss/Vorlesungsaufzei… There are also divx-videos but with a big disadvantage - the quality is too bad for because there are edge detection problems and aliasing effects. The results are ugly looking chars and edges. Not very wise to encode the video in divx without an appropiate filter to avoid these problems (sharpen filter eg). In Windows all playback is fine. I also copied the latest tsccvid.dll to the /usr/lib/win32 dir. The codec can be found at: http://www-i7.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/d/teaching/ws0304/modelchk/instruct… So here is my first check of the differences between the working and not working one: The fourcc id is the same: 0x63637374 (tsccvid.dll) The main difference is the resolution (800:600 to 1024:768) and the use of BGR 15-bit conversion to the output device VDec: using BGR 15-bit as output csp (no 0) (working with 800:600). The biBitCount of the video format has also changed from 16 to 24 bit. It seems that the colorspace/depth conversion fails with 1024:768. I suppose that the greater resolution can't be handled by the video filter/scaler to the output device. This is not very common resolution for mainstream video movies. Are there any helpful changes to be made to the code or codecs config to solve this problem or is the problem the BGR 15 bit conversion with this resolution ? Reading the codecs howto didn't helped me.

[BUG] mplayer bugs away with MPEG1 clip
by Gabucino 05 Feb '04

05 Feb '04

http://www.kontrollfilm.hu/media/kontroll_320x240.mpg 1. MPlayer detects MP3 audio instead of MP2, and so the sound goes br0ke. 2. Try watching it with -vf spp=(1-...), the image will blur and shake. It's very unwatchable. -- Gabucino MPlayer Core Team

mplayer still crashes with -fs
by Greg Stark 05 Feb '04

05 Feb '04

So for a long time I've seen mplayer crash any time I run it with "-fs". It used to only crash about 1/4 of the time, usually when starting a second or third movie listed on the command-line. The problem has gotten worse in recent CVS compiles, for the past month or so any use of "-fs" on the command line causes an instant crash. Pressing "f" after the movie is playing never crashes however. To debug this I had to do a fair amount of work since mplayer and xlibs conspire to make debugging such things hard. I added a call to XSynchronize(mDisplay,True) early in vo_init. Otherwise the error occurs too late whenever the X error comes back. It would be nice if mplayer supported the standard Xt option -synchronize. I also had to link against debugging versions of the xlibs otherwise the gdb backtrace doesn't seem to be able to dig its way out of the xlib calls into mplayer. Having done all that the backtrace from a breakpoint on abort() looks like: Starting program: /home/usr_local/src/mplayer/main/mplayer -ao null -zoom -vo xv -fs ~/theSpeech_hiband.wmv VO: [xv] 320x240 => 320x240 Planar YV12 [fs] [zoom] X11 error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) [Switching to Thread 1086747552 (LWP 15630)] Breakpoint 1, 0x408f1430 in abort () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6 #0 0x408f1430 in abort () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6 #1 0x080cca7d in x11_errorhandler (display=0x860ca70, event=0xbfffdbc0) at x11_common.c:156 #2 0x40696354 in _XError (dpy=0x860ca70, rep=0xbfffdc90) at XlibInt.c:2898 #3 0x406948b3 in _XReply (dpy=0x860ca70, rep=0xbfffdc90, extra=0, discard=1) at XlibInt.c:1787 #4 0x4068fb44 in XSync (dpy=0x860ca70, discard=0) at Sync.c:45 #5 0x4068fc05 in _XSyncFunction (dpy=0x6) at Synchro.c:34 #6 0x40684275 in XMapRaised (dpy=0x860ca70, w=54525955) at MapRaised.c:49 #7 0x080cee20 in vo_x11_fullscreen () at x11_common.c:1068 #8 0x080d3c46 in config (width=320, height=240, d_width=320, d_height=240, flags=5, title=0x83cc3bb "MPlayer", format=842094169) at vo_xv.c:258 #9 0x0811b1f0 in config () #10 0x0810bf11 in mpcodecs_config_vo () #11 0x0811344c in init () #12 0x0810b295 in init_video () #13 0x0810b45d in init_best_video_codec () #14 0x0809ac34 in main () (gdb) I have a few hunches. 1) I have multiple screens (without xinerama). Is it possible the value returned by DefaultScreen() or RootWindow() isn't the proper one for the window that's created later by vo_x11_create_smooth_window() ? I haven't spotted any evidence this is the case however. B) I have an mga card but I'm running 2.6.1 where the driver for the mga_vid device doesn't seem to compile. So it might be starting up the vo_mga driver initializing a few things, then failing back to the xv driver and reinitializing things, perhaps getting confused. However the backtrace above is with "-vo xv" so that isn't happening here. The messages printed by the run above with the backtrace cut off, because it's above: Starting program: /home/usr_local/src/mplayer/main/mplayer -ao null -zoom -vo xv -fs ~/theSpeech_hiband.wmv Breakpoint 1 at 0x8095db0 [New Thread 1086747552 (LWP 15630)] Breakpoint 1 at 0x408f1430 Using GNU internationalization Original domain: messages Original dirname: /usr/share/locale Current domain: mplayer Current dirname: /usr/local/share/locale MPlayer dev-CVS-040203-12:33-3.3.3 (C) 2000-2004 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel Pentium 4/Xeon/Celeron Foster 2800 MHz (Family: 8, Stepping: 9) Detected cache-line size is 64 bytes CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 SSE SSE2 Reading config file /usr/local/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf: No such file or directory Reading config file /home/stark/.mplayer/config Reading /home/stark/.mplayer/codecs.conf: Can't open '/home/stark/.mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory Reading /usr/local/etc/mplayer/codecs.conf: Can't open '/usr/local/etc/mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory Using built-in default codecs.conf.
