[CinCV] compiling Cinelerra on Ubuntu

Hi,

....and let me add the following: even if someone is desperate
to compile cinelerra from source (maybe because he wants to patch
her), if you are on ubuntu (or even debian), its always a good idea
to use a well maintained package like currently the akirad packages.

You can always recompile a debian (or ubuntu) package from source,
which has two distinct advantages over compling "the hard way":
- you can use the package manager to resolve the build dependencies
- your self-compiled software becomes a first-class citizen and also
  can be replaced/removed from the system cleanly using the package
  manager.

How?
- get the NAME.orig.tar.gz, NAME.diff.gz and NAME.dsc from the repository
- dpkg-source -x NAME.dsc
- dpkg-source -b NAME
and then install the resulting *deb packages with sudo dpkg -i XXX.deb

from within the build directory you can check the build dependencies
with dpkg-checkbuilddeps

To get the basic capability of compiling on a debian system:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

hope that helps,
Cheers,
Hermann

You might try the one from Medibuntu.
deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ hardy free non-free

But _only_ when you come to the point where the Hardy packages of FFMPEG lack 
some codec you desperately need. As long as it does what you want, better 
stick with the package that comes with Hardy.
That's just my experience, you may have radically different needs.

[CinCV] Working with HD

hello! I want to edit hd video (.mts extension) with cinelerra.
I have a canon HG21 with hard disk that saves directly .mts files with
H264 codec

I try to convert mts to avi with kino, m2tstoavi script and another
command lines without good results. What's the best way to work with
HD in Cinelerra?
First transcode to dv?
Thanks!

Guys,
I get hangs when I try to load more than four MPEG-TS files at a time.  I need
to break out of the Cinelerra process (CTRL-C) and then restart.

Forgot to mention I am on Fedora 10, x86-64.  I should clarify that Cinelerra
hangs on loading more than four files of almost any media type.  Here are the
ones I've tried:
- MPEG-TS videos
- JPEG quicktime videos
- H264 quicktime videos

My workaround is to select less than four files to load at a time.

I've done the following steps so far:

First, to get an overview of the H.264 AVI clip format:

ffmpeg -i clip0021.avi
.........
Input #0, avi, from 'clip0021.avi':
 Duration: 00:01:41.76, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 4242 kb/s
   Stream #0.0: Video: h264, yuv420p, 1280x720, 30.00 tb(r)
   Stream #0.1: Audio: adpcm_ms, 22050 Hz, mono, s16, 88 kb/s

1) Converted to MPEG2 1280x720p (by modifying the dvd video template)

ffmpeg -i clip0021.avi -target pal-dvd -s 1280x720 clip0021_1280x720.mpg

2 a) Converted to DVD video 720x576 PAL (by cropping both sides)

ffmpeg -i clip0021.avi -cropleft 160 -cropright 160 -target pal-dvd
-aspect 4:3 clip0021.mpg

2 b) Converted to DVD video 720x576 PAL (by adding black panels on top
and bottom, wide letterbox)

ffmpeg -i clip0021.avi -target pal-dvd -s 720x404 -padtop 86 -padbottom
86 clip0021_ltrbox.mpg

I would like to get comments, possibly other suggestions to the above !!!!!!

Rgds,
Terje

Jose,
Everyone's workflow is different, but Quicktime and MPEG container
formats are the most compatible with Cinelerra:

My own workflow looks something like this:
http://crazedmuleproductions.blogspot.com/2009/02/dark-of-winter-has-me-in-its-grasp.html#mpegts

There are some folks on this list who have the older Canon HV20 and they
could probably lead you to a more exact solution.

I see from a google search on "cinelerra hv20 conversion", the first
link may be useful to you:
http://www.google.com/search?q=cinelerra+hv20
+conversion&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

After doing your research, if you are still have difficulty, you could
post a very short (<10sec) clip somewhere on the web and we could take a
look at it for you.
