[Mjpeg-users] Mixing old and new recordings

2007-03-31 Thread Anne Wilson
I want to mix some old avi recordings done at half-size with some new ones at 
full size, all into one dvd.  Am I wanting the impossible?  Do I have to 
locate the original tape and start again?

You certainly can mix streams of different frame sizes on a single DVD. 
 
Trailers, etc I often put as half size and the main feature at full 
size.

However you can not mix different frame sizes within a single track.
Put the 'full size" videos on one track  and the half size on a 
different
track and you'll be fine.

Or just put each video on a track of its own with a top level menu
to select which video clip to play.

Cheers,
Steven Schultz

This is getting technical :-)

At the moment I just use



 






 


Is the  the track?

How do I make a top level menu?

Thanks

Uh, you think "add a new track" and "create a top level menu" is
technical and they you toss a blob of xml at me?  ;)  Now that is

Makes no sense to me.  Too technical ;)

Could be.  I just click "Add New Track" and drag the .m2v/.ac3 files
over to the "Track"s as appropriate.  Trivally easy and non technical -
no xml required ;)

Click "Add Menu"? 

I do all my DVD authoring with DVD Studio Pro 4 :)

Up to now I've done everything except the burning from the CLI.  The script I 
use is just as it was given to me by Selva Nair, when I first started doing 
this.  I did at first try Linux Video Studio, but it only partially worked, 
and IIRC it didn't work at all after the 2.6 kernels started (could be wrong 
there).  Perhaps it's time I came into the 21st century?  :-)

It is less about coming into the 21st century than it is about
using the correct tool to do a job.  Even in the 19th century folks
knew that a screwdriver probably doesn't work well with nails ;)

Much of DVD authoring (especially if you're doing complex menus)
is visual in nature thus it makes sense, to me, to use tools that
work graphically/visually.

Not very expensive and it runs under WINE

It does look interesting.  Since I'm dealing with old Hi8 tape and an analogue 
recorder, I still have to capture with the DC10+.  Do these editing suites 
start from .avi files?  The linux ones I've seen are generally aimed at 
starting from digital video.

Are you sure you're looking at the same thing I hoped I was pointing
you to?  DVD-Lab is an authoring program.  It is NOT a capture program,
it is not a editing program.  

You do all the encoding in advance and present Dvd-Lab with the
MPEG-2 video files and accompanying audio (.AC3, or .MP2).

"all in one" programs, in my opinion, tend to be "jack of all trades
and master of none" - doing many things half well rather than using
better independent programs.

DVD-Lab (and DVD Studio Pro from Apple, and Premiere from Adobe for
windows) are DVD authoring *only* programs - they do not do capture,
encode, edit - there are other programs to do that.

One of my brothers, alas in the windows world, started out trying to
use one of those 'all in one' packages - didn't work well.  Tried 
a free package - that was a flop, and then bought DVD-Lab and has
been happy (at least I don't hear coasters flying overhead  now ;))

I have DVD-Lab Pro that I use on my daughter's XP Pro machine. It is a
nice DVD authoring tool. Capturing, editing and encoding is done with
DVgrab, Kino and Mjpegtools on a Linux machine.

I haven't tried DVD-Lab Pro under WINE lately. I don't recall what 0.9.x
version I tried it on. It seemed to "work" but at the time I was just
learning to use DVD-Lab Pro and I didn't know the menus very well. That
was some what of a problem because WINE didn't display the drop down
menu items until you moused over the area on the screen where the menu
item was supposed to be. Seems like there was some drop and drag
problems too. Kind of annoying. I don't know if any of those problems
has been fixed. Does anyone else on the list know?

On note: if you plan to encode several AVI/MOV files with a single 
command (lav2yuv file_1.avi file_2.avi ... | ...)
All files need to have the same size, interlacing and so on.

What other modules do you load before ?
Have you tried loading manual before:
modprobe saa7111
modprobe saa7185
modprobe zr36060 low_bitrate=1

Ar the modules loaded before you try to load the zr36067 modules. And 
are they loaded after you have tried do load that module ?
