Yes, I get them all the time :)

bash-2.05b$ smil2yuv test.dv | yuvscaler -I USE_576x512+0+0 -O DVD | head -n 1
YUV4MPEG2 W720 H576 F25:1 Ib A59:60 C420jpeg XYSCSS=420PALDV

        What happens if you use y4mscaler?

y4mscaler works perfectly. I get:

bash-2.05b$ smil2yuv test.dv | y4mscaler -I active=576x384+0+0cc | head -n 1
YUV4MPEG2 W720 H576 F25:1 Ib A59:45 C420paldv

Because y4mscaler is not included in mjpegtools and not commonly found in Linux distro's, I don't want my video processing scripts to have a dependency on y4mscaler. Use of y4mscaler should be optional. So, my hopes are that this is a bug in yuvscaler that can be fixed.

        Does anything change or behave differently if you build the cvs version
        of smilutils?

I will try that, will take some time.

        Oh, you probably need to convert the 420PALDV to 420MPEG2 before
        encoding - so you'll need to use 'y4mscaler -O chromass=420mpeg2' .
        Might as well add the '-I active=...' and do everything in one step ;)

Well, I prefer yuvscaler because I don't want my scripts to have a dependency on y4mscaler. Using y4mscaler is optional, and is currently only used for high quality chroma scaling, when y4mscaler is available.

None of the MJPEG tools seem to have problems with the usual pipeline:

smil2yuv test.dv | ... | ... | mpeg2enc ...

so, use of y4mscaler seems unnecessary.

Cheers,

Dik
