[Mjpeg-users] mjpegtools/transcode/vcdimager

2004-02-08 Thread Paul Miller
I'm using the tools to do marvelous things with some video I
have.  I just wanted to say thanks to someone.  Hope that's
not too dumb.

I love these tools.


Thanks, 


Paul

[Mjpeg-users] VCD easy (hopefully) question

2004-02-08 Thread Paul Miller
I'm not having a problem with the tools per se, but a
problem with my DVD player.  I need to fool it.  Question
below code.


This works:
transcode -i $infile -V -y yuv4mpeg,mp2enc -F 1 -Z 384x240 -E 44100 -b 224 -o 
$outnam || exit 1

So does this:
transcode -k -i $infile -V -y yuv4mpeg,mp2enc -F 1 -E 44100 -b 224 -o $outnam || 
exit 1
( (mv $outnam $outnam.yuv && cat $outnam.yuv) \
| yuvscaler -n n -O VCD -M RATIO_512_352_384_240 \
| mpeg2enc -f 1 -o $outnam.m1v
) || exit 1

I did the second crazy thing because I was hoping that
yuvscaler was going to add black bars at the top and bottom.
Turns out it doesn't need to at that ratio...  Incidentally,
if I use RATIO_512_352_384_210 it adds the bars, but
squishes the video top to bottom (obviously).

The problem is, my DVD player cuts off 10 or so pixels from
each side, and 15 or so from the top and bottom.  When I try
to play the VCD it renders some of the subtitles off the
screen -- not to mention some of the video.

I imagine everyone's NTSC equipment does this to a certain
extent, but the subtitles are the real problem.

The actual question:
Is there some trick I can use to fool my DVD player into
clipping less of my video; while still preserving the
desired aspect ratio?  

I was shooting for thin black bars the whole way around, but
it turns out yuvscaler won't do that.

No bites at all... *sigh*

Let me ask mor simply then.  Is there a way to get yuvscaler
or some other tool to add black bars to the sides of stream?

They were already in each frame.  The original is actually a
divx (I think) .avi.

I will use y4mscaler as you suggested, it was precisely what
I wanted.

Your entire post was educational, thank you very much.

Incidentally, y4mscaler worked great!  Thanks very much.  I
have a brand new problem though.  My show is 24 minutes
long...  24*405megs is way way bigger than my max file size.

Is there a way to get transcode to dump the yuv directly to
y4mscaler/yuvscaler?  If so, I'd love to know it.


This is what I'm actually doing:



transcode -c 0-0:1:00 -k -i $infile -V -y yuv4mpeg,mp2enc -F 1 -E 44100 -b 224 -o 
$outnam || exit 1
( (mv $outnam $outnam.yuv && cat $outnam.yuv) \
| yuvscaler -n n -M RATIO_512_352_384_240 -O VCD \
| y4mscaler -I sar=ntsc -S option=sinc:8 -O Xscale=15/16 -O preset=vcd \
| mpeg2enc -f 1 -o $outnam.m1v
) || exit 1



Everything works great except that writing the yuv stream to
disk is horrible.  Actually, combining the y4mscaler and
yuvscaler seems like a good idea, but it hardly matters
unless I learn the way to get transcode to pipe into the
scalers.

[Mjpeg-users] png/ppm/jpg 2 mpeg

2003-11-25 Thread Paul Miller
Please help... 

I figure I'm missing something stupid because there's
nothing on google about this -- and the error message has
the rare distinction of having spelling errors in it (making
it easier find).

This is the first day I've tried mjpegtools, so naturally I
ran but didn't walk to the howto:

http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=11305&group_id=5776#Images

I happen to have 50 images I wish to encode.  So I tried a
quite a few of these (all with different switches and
options):

jpeg2yuv -f 25 -j image%05d.jpg > r.y
cat *.ppm | ppmtoy4m > r.y

When I pump the .y's to mpeg2enc though, I get:

"Could not get image dimenstion and frame rate from input stream"

Worse yet, I don't see a way to specify the image dimensions
in the man page.  It may be there, but my question is
really, why can't it read the image dimension and frame rate
from my .y's?

No, I cannot. Though, I figured out the problem.  Appolgies
around, it would seem a very ancient install of mjpeg2enc
was before the current version in my PATH.

It took me nearly four hours and many many package upgrades to
figure out.  But the version that produces that error is
long gone.

[Mjpeg-users] hello

2003-12-03 Thread Paul Miller
I've been having a whale of a time making all sorts of
movies and things with mjpegtools.  I love it.

I'd appreciate some help with audio.

And I've made 4 coasters trying to sort it out.

Oddly enough, my SVCDs play fine on my special xbox
(software decoder evox/xbmp), just not on my (sony) DVD
player.  

Well, strictly speaking, they play fine, but the audio skips
horribly.

Here's how I encoded my movie:

SVCD:
cat ~/code/povray/outdoorexp/o/o*.ppm | ppmtoy4m -S 420_mpeg2 > ntsc.yuv
cat ntsc.yuv | yuvscaler -O SVCD > ntsc_scaled.yuv
cat ntsc_scaled.yuv | mpeg2enc -f 4 -o ntsc.mpg
mplex -f 4 -o ntsc_mplex.mpg ntsc.mpg audio.mp2
vcdimager ntsc_mplex.mpg 
cdrdao write --device 0,0,0 videocd.cue 

SVCD
mpg123 --wav - music.mp3 | mp2enc -V -o audio.mp2

> Are you sure that your DVD player handles SVCDs?

I would certainly guess so, since it plays... the only
problem is the horrible skipping.  I suppose that doesn't
prove anything, but it's still my guess.

I will probably try it in VCD format, though, I wanted to
use mpeg2, and I thought VCD was mpeg1.
