similar to: theora-exp encoder issue

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

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 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 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

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

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:

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

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

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

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 would like to create a movie out of a lot of png files. Using mencode I would do have something similar to mencoder "mf://*.png" -mf type=png:fps=5 -vf spp,scale -ovc lavc -o output.avi but I want to have an ogg format. I.e. an ogg movie How to do it? convert can convert the pngs to an mpg but not to an ogg! convert: unable to open module file

Hi I was surprised with size of Theora files and thought of feedback. Following 1minute duration Theora and Xvid files were made from a y4m file. The resolution is 1280x720: 1. Xvid 17MB 2. Ogg/Theora Q7 31MB 3. Ogg/Theora Q8 38MB 4. Ogg/Theora Q9 49MB 5. Ogg/Theora Q10 61MB The Xvid file was made using mencoder by 2 passes with following options:

(Theora/Vorbis) available. Message-ID: <410011E4.2040904@hut.fi> Hello, I noticed that it's quite difficult currently to create Ogg format files (Ogg Theora for video and Ogg Vorbis for audio). There's only the encoder_example-program, which is included in the libtheora source packages, but seemingly not in any libtheora/libtheora-devel packages that are around the web for e.g.

Hello! I'm trying to use ffmpeg2theora to encode raw (.yuv) files in I420 format (just frames, no headers at all), but failed to find corresponding input format. Is there any documentation of supported formats for ffmpeg2theora? Or maybe there is another command-line tool for Windows to encode raw video using Theora algorithm? Thank you for help! Alexander.

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
