Probably not unless you're willing to do a little work. The logging API has changed and there are some 'mjpeg_warn/log/...' style statements in mpeg2enc. > > least 1 windows encoder will run using Wine.

Then install on a windows system and or see if it will run under wine. Maybe there are discussion groups or a forum. Or look back a little bit in the archives of this mailing list. There was mention of another encoder that was free as I recall and the poster provided sample scripts/proceedures.

From what I saw on the website, tmpgenc requires an avi file. So, I wondered how one took raw DV, edited it with Kino, and so forth an ended up with an avi file for tmpgenc to process? I'll go back to the old version of mjpegtools. Thanks. Stan - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

It'll be _REALLY_ obvious when you try to compile it ;) Basically all the old LOG_WARN, LOG_ERROR, LOG_INFO, ... defines are no longer public. You have two choices when something like mjpeg_log(LOG_WARN, ...) is encountered. Either change it to mjpeg_warn(...) or mjpeg_log( mjpeg_loglev_t("warn"), ...) This was changed to avoid conflicts with LOG_* and system defines (and to avoid yet another package adding its own LOG* stuff to the namespace) > Looks like I misunderstood what you were saying.

It's been 5 or 6 years since I ran it but I thought it could write AVI files back out. With ANY other encoder it's up to you to get the data into whatever container the program will accept. I create Quicktime files with uncompressed 4:2:2 video since that's the most convenient format. > I'll go back to the old version of mjpegtools. That's probably the best way.

Yes, but I didn't know what tool I need to use to create it... > Kino can write an AVI file, right? It's been 5 or 6 years since I ran > it but I thought it could write AVI files back out. I think so. Although I haven't tried it. Provided it does export an avi, what tools on Linux would one then use to clean up a capture from a video tape? I guess there aren't any? > > I'll go back to the old version of mjpegtools. > > That's probably the best way. In trying to keep most everything on the Linux platform, I think that's the best option. Authoring a DVD on windoze is all I care to do on that platform. Since the windoze authoring software doesn't run correctly under wine, I don't have a lot of choice. I could use a lot expletives when trying to run it under wine. Wouldn't help matters any an would take 2 or 3 times as long. Easier to author the DVD on a windoze box. As always, thanks for the help.
