missing header tags with mencoder/XViD?
by HR 13 Aug '03

13 Aug '03

It seems to me that when encoding with XViD, the "frame width" and "frame height" tags are not set. When I encode with e.g. mpeg4 from lavc, they are set properly. I seem to have this problem with all my XViD encodings. Can mencoder set the various AVI -info tags after encoding (without reencoding anything)? I tried "-oac copy -ovc copy -info ...." hoping this -might- rewrite the header, but it apparantly didn't. What tool can I use to do this? HR

Bucharest, 13.08.2003 Some time ago I urged you to take a look at the errors I sent to you. Now I have got rid of them myself. The answer to the problem is NOT TO SET THE SYMLINK (ln -sf /dev/hdb /dev/dvd) 'cause in SuSE8.2 it's set by default. Thank you for your time, Antonius.

no encoding of TV audio
by Michael Meltner 13 Aug '03

13 Aug '03

Hello all, I can't get mencoder to encode audio from my TV card. Xawtv runs smoothly including audio through line-in cable, and I can record TV audio with the stand-alone program 'record' via line-in. All mixer settings (like line-in capture) are set to make this work. But mencoder refuses to do audio coding as well, I just get a video stream in an AVI file. I use Kernel 2.4.21, Kraxel's v4l2 patch for this kernel and the SAA 7134 driver rev 0.28. Also alsa 0.9.6 with ALS4000 based sound card I start mencoder with this: mencoder -tv on:driver=v4l:norm=pal:channel=E2:width=192: height=144:forceaudio:amode=0:forcechan=2:adevice=/dev/dsp0: audioid=0:volume=65000 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4: vbitrate=900 -oac pcm -vop pp=lb -o test then I get this output: What is this ioctl error? ----------------------------------- MEncoder 0.90rc5-3.2.2 (C) 2000-2003 Arpad Gereoffy (see DOCS) CPU: Advanced Micro Devices K6-2 (Family: 5, Stepping: 12) Detected cache-line size is 32 bytes CPUflags: Type: 5 MMX: 1 MMX2: 0 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 0 SSE2: 0 Reading /home/chief/.mplayer/codecs.conf: can't open '/home/chief/.mplayer/codecs.conf': Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden Reading /usr/local/etc/mplayer/codecs.conf: 50 audio & 136 video codecs File not found: 'frameno.avi' Reading config file /home/chief/.mplayer/mencoder success: format: 0 data: 0x0 - 0x0 TV detected! ;-) Selected driver: v4l name: Video 4 Linux input author: Alex Beregszaszi <alex(a)naxine.org> comment: under development Selected device: KNC One TV-Station RDS Capabilites: capture tuner teletext overlay clipping Device type: 47 Supported sizes: 48x32 => 720x576 Inputs: 3 0: Television: tuner tv (tuner:1, norm:pal) 1: Composite1: (tuner:0, norm:pal) 2: Composite2: (tuner:0, norm:pal) audio block size too low, setting to 16384!

Hello List I am using the mplayer under control of vdr via dvb card. This works fine, but I am missing the possibilty to jump chapterwise. With seek I can jump forward or backwards for n seconds or percent, but how can I jump to the next chapter ? --- Helmut Auer, helmut(a)helmutauer.de

[BUG] DVD chapter seeking problem
by Timo Jyrinki 13 Aug '03

13 Aug '03

Hi, I'm having a problem with MPlayer (cvs) and "-chapter" option. I've Babylon 5 Season Two -DVD-package (PAL, 6 DVDs), and seeing the last episode of four on any of the 6 DVDs seems problematic. I'm taking an example of this disc 2 I'm using now: 1. mplayer dvd://1 -chapter 13 correctly starts at the third episode - there are 24 chapters, so 1=1st ep, 7=2nd ep, 13=3rd ep and 19=4rd ep. 2. mplayer dvd://1 -chapter 19 (or anything above) starts at the same location as -chapter 13, and trying to seek forward results in black screen 3. mplayer dvd://1 -chapter 18 starts correctly near the beginning of the 3rd episode, but trying to seek past the end of episode texts results in mplayer quitting when the 4th episode starts 4. doing as before, -chapter 18, but letting the end texts roll, gives me finally the 4th episode to watch, though I shall not try to seek or I've a long time to wait to catch the same position again :( Running MPlayer with '-v' doesn't show up any differences besides that with -chapter 19 there's a line "TRIED UP TO POSITION 3713847625, FOUND 0, packet_size= 71", where with earlier chapters there is a line with "FOUND 1" instead. I don't know how could I give something with which to reproduce this, uploading 7GB to mplayer's ftp is probably not an option :) MPlayer is compiled with the defaults, ie. libmpdvdkit2. Any ideas, or anyone able to reproduce this? I haven't tried libcss/libdvdread yet because they'd be no use for me because I'm watching DVDs with Movix's bundled MPlayer anyway. I'm using Movix because TV-out doesn't work in my 'too-recent' distribution I'm normally using, -vo vesa segfaults. This is the glibc&mplayer&vesa -problem there have been posts about. -TJ

MPlayer 0.91 released
by gabucino＠mplayerhq.hu 13 Aug '03

13 Aug '03

MPlayer 0.91 was released last night. ONLY 0.90* users should (must) upgrade! This is not from the 'main' MPlayer CVS branch, but from the '0_90'. This branch will not be maintained from now on. MPlayer G1 development's current area is now (again) only the 'main' tree, from which MPlayer 1.0 will be born very soon.

problem with SVQ1 codec
by David Robin 13 Aug '03

13 Aug '03

Hi Apostolos, why do you force the use of SVQ1, as Mplayer detects an SVQ3 video stream (see below)? It is certainly the reason of your issue. AFAIK, SVQ3 stream can't be decoded with SVQ1 codec (seems logic as SVQ1 was created before). Hope it helped. If it did, please try to seek forward in your trailer, and report how far you could go. Are you limited to the beginning of the stream, and can't go any further? Can you seek to the end of stream? Thanks. Best Regards, David.

starting mplayer AFTER server change ???
by Jose Borreguero 13 Aug '03

Hi all, I have mplayer installed under my home directory $HOME/usr/local/MPlayer-0.90, where $HOME used to be '/users/meta/jmborr' We have changed to a new server in our workplace, so that $HOME is now '/users/seldon/jmborr' Now mplayer can't find the config files. How do I let know mplayer of this change ???? Here are the complaints I get: Reading config file /users/meta/jmborr/usr/local/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf: No such file or directory Reading /users/seldon/jmborr/.mplayer/codecs.conf: can't open '/users/seldon/jmborr/.mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory Reading /users/meta/jmborr/usr/local/etc/mplayer/codecs.conf: can't open '/users/meta/jmborr/usr/local/etc/mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory Can't open input config file /users/seldon/jmborr/.mplayer/input.conf : No such file or directory Can't open input config file /users/meta/jmborr/usr/local/etc/mplayer/input.conf : No such file or directory SKIN dir 2: '/users/meta/jmborr/usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin' [skin] file ( /users/meta/jmborr/usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin/default/skin ) not found. -- http://www.borreguero.net <jose(a)borreguero.net> work(617)353 8051 fax(617) 353 9393
