I am trying to use sox to increase the amplitude of audio stream in an mjpeg file, but before doing so, i am using sox's "stat" to determine the max. amplitude without clippping. So my command line is: $ lav2wav file.eli | sox -t wav - -t wav /dev/null stat -v but both lav2wav and sox both use u

I once wrote a filter for mplayer that searched for black frames. The idea was to find the 1 or more frames that most frequently sit between "content" and the commercials. It was quite effective at finding the black frames, but because it had to decode and analyse each frame (in actuality it was

I think 2500 would have given a bit cleaner results. There was some visible blockiness and loss of sharpness around edges/sharp transitions. But using your suggestions for higher quality might take care of that. > Good to know the verbosity wasn't excessive ;) Not at all too verbose. Not even nearly so. I hung on your every word.

If it's a shorter running program, the cap will be moot, but if it is longer, the picture quality might have to suffer a bit. If my supposition above that I am already using too high a bitrate is correct, maybe this will not be an issue at all. Thanks for all of your help and feedback Steven.

4 containers solve my problem. BTW: The tool I needed to use to get the MPEG-ES stream out of the MPEG-PS file I had was tcextract. Seemed to work just fine. Maybe I continue to use mpeg4/avi with content that will ultimately be <2G and use mpeg2 with content that will be >2G.
