Hello. I'm trying to encode an Ogg Theora file from an unencrypted dvd using mplayer and encoder_example. I set up named pipes stream.wav and stream.yuv. I then run: mplayer -ao pcm -aofile stream.wav -vo null /dev/dvd & mplayer -vo yuv4mpeg -ao null -nosound /dev/dvd & encoder_example -v1 -a 1 stream.wav stream.yuv > lec1.ogg but I get the following error: File stream.wav is

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

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.

Hi, I wrote a plugin to enable LiVES (a video editor) to encode theora/vorbis/ogg files. I'm looking for some advice towards improving quality. If someone would like to help me test this please note that you'll need MPlayer, ImageMagick, sox, the encoder_example from libtheora (somewhere in the PATH), and Python 2.3.0 (this is fairly all standard stuff). Consider the following clip:

Hi, I sent this message to the theora list but I'm not sure if it got through (activity seems to be very low, regardless). I'm hoping I have better luck here.

I did a little poking about with the pcm-from-fifo problem I was having... What I'm attempting to do is an on-the-fly export from one file using mplayer to generate yuv4mpeg video frames and pcm audio, piped through fifo's. This DOES work with mpeg2enc/mp2enc, so I'm assuming it's not a problem with, e.g., my filesystem... the example encoder appears to successfully open and

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

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

My first guess about the problem would be that the programs want to process the stuff in a different order, e.g. mplayer wants to output some sound before anymore video and encoder_example wants to receive some video before anymore sound. This could easily depend on the order of stuff in the file mplayer is reading. I guess something similar could happen for opening the pipes as well. The

Hi, I'm switching from the mainstream theora trunk to the exp one and I encounter a problem with the encoder. Every video I encode are played like a 'mosaic', I do not know how to say that. The picture is just a bunch of coloured pixels. During the encoding process the video stream is defined like that: File stream.yuv is 320x240 15.00 fps 420 video. Why 420 ? Why not YUV like for

hi all, i tried to encode a .yuv file with the encoder_example.c but it give an error message as follows ./encoder_example -v 1 file_1.yuv > file_1.ogg Input file file_1.yuv is neither a WAV nor YUV4MPEG2 file. so the error message is understandable for anyone. when this file is play with mplayer it shows as follow

Hi all. I'm Mat & I'm new :) I'm testing libtheora + libogg perhaps for a commercial product. I started watching encoder_example.c ... I simplified it for testing it easier. It seems ok to me but I have no experience with theora so I would like to know if my code is correct. I tried to debug it with Valgrind and I found 4 possible memory leaks... but I think they can be

I have encoded successfully a YUV stream by using the encoder_example. Can We encode a row stream (get from a web cam) by using encoder_example. If we can not, is there any other way to encode a row stream by using theora codec. -- Nuwan Millawitiya -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

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

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

Hello, I am looking for a way to convert VCD tracks to theora. I'd rather a command line tool. What would you suggest me? I already found I can do that with mplayer, by ripping to yuv and wav, then using the encoder_example to compress to theora, but would there be another better way? -- ASPO Infog?rance http://aspo.rktmb.org/activites/infogerance Unofficial FAQ fcolc

Hi, I'm a highschool student, I'm looking for information about converting Wave file (*.wav) into Ogg file (*.ogg) and i found encoder_example.c inside libvorbis's example directory. I try to compile it using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 ,but it goes error like this : --------------------Configuration: encoder_example - Win32 Debug-------------------- Linking... encoder_example.obj :

Hello, I'm trying to get theora built. However there is not a page listing what depdencies there are. Would it be possible to have a developers page with the point release tarballs etc? (There is subversion access, but I do not have subversion for my OS). I could not find libtheora release, only an alpha, this wasn't very clear, it has been released now I think. The libogg and
