I use arista. It works like a charm.
John Bennett
Looking for a video converter. Previously have used WinFF, which seemed to do what I was after, but can't find either an RPM or source install for Suse 12.1 x64. Anyone know where I might get this, or a reasonable alternative? Have never really mastered the ffmpeg commandline thing...

Trying Arista, but get "Conversion of file to generic DVD Player PAL DVD failed! Reason: Unable to construct pipeline! could not link lame0 to mux". It installed several extra plugins when I tried to run it. Have googked and it looks like this prob should be ficed for version 1.2 of the plugin, but on their plugin page, the only version is 1.1. Rodney: have previously tried command line conversion for these particular files (they are off a Kogan video recorder - AVI of some sort...), using : ffmpeg -i $i -target pal-dvd -sameq $i.mpg and then used kdenlive to contruct my video, but there seemed to be an issue with the formats and the resultant was unplayable on a dvd player... I AM a novice at this.... :-( Thanks, John. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

John, -sameq does not do what you think it does. It uses the same quantizer values as the source, not the same quality. This is a common source of confusion. I'd suggest taking this over to the ffmepg-user mailing list (I'm on that list as well). FFmpeg (to use the stricly correct capitalisation for the project) will do what you want it to do - it's just a matter of getting the right options. As a starting point, I'd try just with the -target pal-dvd option and leave out -sameq. The -target option will set the codecs, sizes and bitrates to appropriate default values (although you can override them when you're confident you know what you're doing). Options take effect in the order in which you specify them on the command line. -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
