Re: Dark_Shikari

You're absolutely right, he couldn't possibly be in the wrong even 
though four complete strangers became aware of the situation and came 
forward in the past two hours to address the problem. Nothing gets by 
you does it? I'm starting to think you either like the sound of your own 
internet voice or you simply share the same complex. The amusing thing 
is after Mr. Rhodes made the situation public, Dark_Shikari has been 
fairly pleasant and has provided a wealth of knowledge to everyone who 
has come into the channel seeking help since then, so apparently you're 
the only one who hasn't figured it out yet. Lets see how long it lasts.

Thanks for the url though, I'll go ahead and file it under "who cares". 
    It doesn't take a manual to identify a troll. I apologize for the 
low value thread to everyone and I'll end it here.

I think the most appropriated place to discuss this is in the relevant
bug entry (http://roundup.ffmpeg.org/roundup/ffmpeg/issue866).

configuration issue or bug?

Hello!

I'm using ffmpeg to create mjpeg stream from mpeg4 stream coming from an 
IP-camera.
ffmpeg input is depacketized/unpacked mpeg4 rtp stream. I'm using the 
following parametrs:

ffmpeg -f 'm4v' -i "rtp://127.0.0.1?localport=5000" -f mjpeg -s 240x180 
-r 12 -sameq -

It worked with version 0.49, but not with version 0.5.
My program starts sending the depacketized/unpacked m4v data from the 
first VOS header,
but ffmpeg starts to encode 10 seconds after. The starting frame rate is 
high (above 30), and it's getting lower and lower, ( under 1 - 2 fps ).

Am i using wrong parameters or configuration, or might it be a bug?

Scene detection

Hi,

I would like to generate images from videos at every scene changes.
My present solution is:
- ffmpeg -i source_video -r 25 -an -vcodec mjpeg destination_video.avi
- lav2yuv -S list.el destination_video.avi
It generates a scene list text file with time codes that I use later to creating images.

I was wondering maybe there is an easier solution.
I have browsed the net to get a better solution (ffmpeg, sc_threshold etc.), but I couldn't find any other
just my present lav2yus solution.

Is it possible to use ffmpeg to create images on scene changes?
Or is it possible to use ffmpeg to create a text file with the time codes of scene changes?

If you have any idea, I would be very happy.
Thanks in advance.

No idea with FFmpeg, but a couple of years ago i had a similar need, and 
i've created this:

I agree.  The examples that prevail in this list are very helpful.

Sox AFAIK, defaults to concatenation.  So regardless of version the following should work.

$ sox input1.wav input2.wav input3.wav output.wav

If the file types / headers don't match, you might need to help it out by preconverting like that script does,
or just specifying the details on each to sox.  -c 2 -r 48000 yada yada yada...  And some conversion apps are
picky about the input, so you might need to be more specific about the output format. -s -w -c 2 -r 48000 output.wav.

$ sox -c 2 -r 44100 inputCD.wav -c 2 -r 48000 inputDVD.wav -s -w -c 2 -r 48000 output.wav

There are some pretty big differences between sox versions.  -M for multiple channels, useful for making /
editing surround tracks (6 channels).  And effect avg being renamed to mixer.  And probably some future
upgrades that could break / change how you use it.  

I tend not to do conversions of formats in sox(wav to mp3).  It just seems to me that lame directly would be

Perhaps all you need is the "/ignore" command.

In the meantime might I suggest that you never join hv20.com or gearslutz.com, they'll eat you alive.  Or
even calling your cable company for technical support to get there gear/system compatible with yours. 
Yes, it's a winsock issue, yes I know how to fix it.  But the confines of my job prevents me from telling you
how.  Meanwhile I'm paying money in excess of $1 per day for a service that I'm not able to use.  And lord forbid
you should ever have to file an insurance claim.

It's called life.  A certain maturity level demands that if you have an issue with a particular person, that
you take it up with that person.  This mailing list is not that person.  Meanwhile half of the mailing list has
no ideal of what you're even referencing.  Am I going out on a limb in assuming the freenode.org IRC server
and the #ffmpeg channel?  Or would it be EFnet / DALnet / ???
