similar to: trying to encode from dvd using mplayer

Okay, thanks to some stubbornness on my part and helpfulness on the part of people on this mailing list, I got the Ogg Theora alpha compiled up and installed and running. Yesterday, I went to the Prelinger archives (the public-domain video archive at www.archive.com) to find a high-quality original to re-encode as a test. The encoder worked just fine, and playback as well, and I thought I'd

Greetings, I was on IRC about 7 hours ago and suggested that the FAQ be updated slightly. Rather than sit on my ass and complain I figured I'd ask a few people, and see if the idea was worth the time. Here's what Ive started with: http://www.dimension.net.nz/theora.html I'll be adding to it over the next 24 hours - mostly in the area of Playback and Encoding. Just threw it together

I tried to encode some video from a DVD with encoder_example and ffmpeg2theora, and it looked great, except that with both encoders the A/V sync would drift noticeably after about 10 minutes, and by the end of a two hour movie it would be a couple seconds off. So instead of just whining about this and waiting for someone else to fix it, I decided to try to learn about what's causing the

some of you may find this helpful: I've uploaded a short (5 second) raw clip in yuv4mpeg format, associated audio, and batch files to exercise the encoder & decoder examples. In addition I've included the file as compressed (test.ogg), and a longer version as well to test playback sync. Notes: to use MPlayer with the -vo yuv4mpeg option, you need to get the latest release and compile

Hi, I sent the message below a couple of months ago but I got no reply. Now that there's more activity perhaps someone could kindly provide me some guidance. Theora is great and the developers are doing a wonderful job, so I'd like to implement the codec in a way which does it justice... Original post: I wrote a plugin to enable LiVES (a video editor) to encode theora/vorbis/ogg files.

As requested by Ralph in my introduction e-mail to this list [1], I've gone ahead and done some sample test timings for encoding between libtheora-1.0 and libtheora-1.1beta3, as available from the Theora website [2]. So far, I've tested with 4 different files that I generated with content I already have. The files, in brief, are the following: 1. planet-earth-360x240.yuv4mpeg - A

We have a draft spec with no implementation. I can't imagine the magic changing, so I think it's ok to leave it in, but I'm ok to remove it if you think that's best. I do think there's little

Having built libtheora-1.0alpha3, I tried it out on a 46 second long, 161 MByte raw dv format video clip. First, I copied these lines from ogg-theora-microhowto.html <snip> mplayer -ao pcm -aofile stream.wav -vo null file_to_be_encoded.avi & mplayer -vo yuv4mpeg -ao null -nosound file_to_be_encoded.avi & encoder_example -v 1 -a 1 stream.wav stream.yuv > theora_file.ogg

As was briefly discussed on IRC, ffmpeg and mplayer currently output two somewhat incompatible YUV4MPEG streams. This meant that encoder_example could take input from mplayer, but not ffmpeg or movtoy4m (a QuickTime->Y4M tool). This is a patch that fixes this issue and should allow encoder_example to take input from either format: diff -urd xiph-cvs/theora/examples/encoder_example.c

After a bunch of cumbersome testing I was able to transcode a Quicktime MOV file to OGG with theora and Vorbis. The method's a bit fumbly, but it works... It is automatable except for the initial audio decoding. Software used: Xine, oggenc, ffmpeg, ffmpeg2theora, oggzmerge Step 1: Get the video out of Quicktime ffmpeg -i infile.mov -b 5000 -f mpeg2video outfile.mpg Step 2: Get the video

AFAIK, that is just a matter of putting a [[OggUVS]] in

In response to (and with the help of) John Koleszar I put together an early draft of OggYUV.. or rather, a list of header fields for it. http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/OggYUV Feedback (on list or on wiki) is most certainly solicited, especially on the chroma subsampling list (how many different sampling methods do we need to reasonably support?) and if we've missed any fields to date.

Hello, I'm new to the list, so if this is an FAQ, please point me to the relevant docs. I'm playing with Theora, to see what kind of quality I can expect (I realise its not for production use yet). I've download the source from CVS, and got it to build, with the example encoder and player. While trying to find something to serve as a good source of input, I decided I'd use a

Hello, Could you kindly point me to some instruction, how to encode demuxed files (.m2v and .mp2) to .ogg (Theora + Vorbis)? I was trying to use ffmpeg2theora, but I don't know, how to put two files to ffmpeg2theora (one audio an one video) and did not found, how to mux them into one file? Exist a way, how to do two pass encoding? I'm using Ubuntu Fiesty Linux. Thank you, Jiri Navratil
