[burek]

[02:17] <cheri> hello is it possible to create two output files with two differenet video codes and audio codecs from a single  input file in just one command line
[02:17] <relaxed> yes
[02:19] <relaxed> When you were here earlier you posted you command, and the second output was called, "output.m4v." Which to everyone in the world except Apple means raw mpeg4 video.
[02:19] <relaxed> your command*
[02:19] <cheri> yeah
[02:20] <cheri> thanks relaxed I would go back and look at the conversation log
[02:20] <relaxed> So you need "-f mp4 output.m4v" to force the right container.
[02:21] <cheri> I am new to using ffmpeg so is that what I have missed there
[02:21] <cheri> I will try it again and see if that solves my problem
[02:21] <relaxed> if not, pastie.org the command and all console output.
[02:21] <cheri> sure I will do it
[02:36] <cheri> relaxed the console output is at http://pastebin.com/50hybAXL
[02:38] <cheri> relaxed I am getting the 'moov atom not found' for the mp4 file I have pasted the output. hre is the link http://pastebin.com/yzukx69C
[02:39] <relaxed> I think there was a bug with older version of libmp3lame that gave that error. Which version of ffmpeg are you using?
[02:40] <klaxa> >FFmpeg version SVN-r19352-4:0.5+svn20101223-1
[02:40] <klaxa> an old one :X
[02:40] <cheri> FFmpeg version SVN-r19352-4:0.5+svn20101223-1
[02:40] <relaxed> cheri: It's time to update ffmpeg
[02:41] <cheri> yeah but there is lot of devlopment required to port the changes to the new version so our company is living with it
[02:41] <relaxed> I haven't seen anyone using a 0.5 in quite some time. You should win a prize.
[02:42] <relaxed> "port the changes?" What?
[02:43] <cheri> the problem I have is if I run two ffmpeg processes I am falling short on system resources so I want to do it with one ffmpeg process
[02:45] <cheri> I am having 16 core server and I need to run transcode 4 flv and 4 mp4 in real time which is taking one cpu completely so I thought if I can bring that down to 4 my problem would be solved
[02:46] <klaxa> but... that doesn't change the fact that your ffmpeg is outdated
[02:46] <klaxa> it's like 3 years old (almost)
[02:46] <relaxed> it's older than that I think
[02:46] <cheri> yeah I agree with that
[02:46] <klaxa> well it says 20101223-1
[02:47] <klaxa> but maybe that's the build date
[02:47] <klaxa> ah yes that's the build date :X
[02:47] <relaxed> Anyway, upgrade ffmpeg and then use -threads to specify the amount of cores you want to use.
[02:48] <cheri> I read threads can be used only for few codecs. Is my understanding correct
[02:50] <relaxed> libx264 supports threads, not sure about mpeg2video
[02:51] <relaxed> cheri: http://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/
[02:52] <cheri> ok I will try with the latest version 2.0
[02:53] <cheri> thanks relaxed I will try with that
[03:11] <roboman2444> how do i record my X at 1fps into a 30fps video? (timelapse)
[03:12] <roboman2444> i tried doing ffmpeg -threads 0 -f x11grab -framerate 1 -s 1366x768 -r 30 -i :0.0+0,0 -vcodec libx264 -crf 16 output.mp4
[03:15] <relaxed> -r 30 after the input
[03:18] <roboman2444> after the input... ok
[03:19] <roboman2444> nope
[03:19] <roboman2444> oh well ill just do it afterwards...
[03:39] <relaxed> roboman2444: remove -threads 0
[03:40] <relaxed> or place it after the input, too
[03:53] <roboman2444> hm
[04:10] <narcan> does anyone in here have much knowledge around segmenting mp4 files for use in a MPEG-DASH stream ?
[04:14] <angelsl> hi
[04:14] <angelsl> when i'm splitting a h264/aac mp4 using "keyframe seeking"
[04:15] <angelsl> the audio usually ends up not in sync with the video in the split files
[04:15] <angelsl> is there any way to avoid this?
[04:15] <angelsl> my command line is something like "ffmpeg -ss 00:40:33.3 -i IN.mp4 -c:v copy -c:a copy -t 00:05:51.7 seg1.mp4"
[04:19] <angelsl> my bad, it's present in my input stream
[04:19] <angelsl> bleah
[04:48] <crumb> how do you downmix 6ch audio to 2ch?
[05:22] <diesel42> crumb, -ac 2
[05:23] <crumb> diesel42: and for normalizing?
[05:39] <a|3x> hi
[05:40] <a|3x> i got ffmpeg to extract audio from a microphone, how do i switch it to taking input from speakers?
[05:44] <norstrom> you mean capture audio the computer is playing?
[05:44] <a|3x> yes
[05:45] <norstrom> I use 'ffmpeg -f alsa -i pulse' then the codecs and bitrate stuff
[05:45] <a|3x> my current command line: fmpeg -f x11grab -r 25 -s 1920x1080 -i :0.0 -f alsa -ac 2 -i "sysdefault:CARD=Headset"
[05:46] <a|3x> output of arecord -L : http://pastebin.com/uyFiPzzh
[05:46] <a|3x> Unknown input format: 'pulse'
[05:46] <norstrom> I've compiled my ffmpeg with pulse support
[05:47] <a|3x> oh wait
[05:48] <a|3x> [alsa @ 0x96aa10] cannot open audio device pulse (No such file or directory)
[05:48] <a|3x> this comes up when i run ffmpeg -f x11grab -r 25 -s 1920x1080 -i :0.0 -f alsa -ac 2 -i pulse
[05:49] <a|3x> how can i check if i am using pulse?  i might not
[05:50] <norstrom> I just tested this line:'ffmpeg -f x11grab -r 30 -s 1920x1080 -i :0.0 -f alsa -i pulse -c:a libfaac -b:a 192K -ac 2 test.mkv' works fine
[05:51] <norstrom> if you just type ffmpeg with no options you should see the options it was compliled with
[05:52] <norstrom> look for --enable-libpulse
[05:52] <a|3x> i am pretty sure i don't have pulse on my system
[05:52] <norstrom> well you may have pulse but ffmpeg was not compiled with support for it
[05:53] <a|3x> i am on gentoo, over here you have to do a lot of work to get pulse to work, i am pretty sure i didn't do it
[05:57] <norstrom> try sysdefault:CARD=PCH
[06:00] <a|3x> its no longer capturing from microphone but all i hear is low noise but not what is coming from speakers
[06:01] <norstrom> when you say speakers are you using your usb headset?
[06:01] <a|3x> yes
[06:01] <a|3x> sorry, headset
[06:02] <a|3x> i don't use my MB audio output, although its connected to small speakers in the monitor
[06:02] <norstrom> I would think your initial setting would have worked then
[06:03] <a|3x> they work, but capture my microphone
[06:03] <a|3x> in the headset
[06:03] <norstrom> try front:CARD=Headset,DEV=0 then
[06:03] <a|3x> but i want it to capture the speakers in the headset
[06:04] <a|3x> [alsa @ 0x874a10] cannot open audio device front:CARD=Headset,DEV=0 (Device or resource busy)
[06:07] <a|3x> by the way, kde says i have phonon backend gstreamer
[06:09] <norstrom> I would try for the sake of elimination, unplug the usb head set, use the speakers and try some of the card options in your list like the sysdefault:CARD=PCH. That way at least you'll know if its a limitation of the headset device.
[06:10] <norstrom> because the way your trying it, it does make sense
[06:13] <a|3x> hm
[06:17] <a|3x> i think its hw:0 but i get an error (Device or resource busy)
[06:22] <norstrom> doing a little reading on it. try also specifying a sub device like hw:0.0 or hw:0,1
[06:22] <norstrom> hw:0,0 not .
[06:22] <a|3x> hw:0,0 same as hw:0, busy
[06:23] <a|3x> i guess something is using it, and whatever it is, i need to get audio from that
[12:51] <al4711> hi all
[12:52] <al4711> I got a Segfault with prores and 15696x2048 input images
[12:52] <al4711> is this the right channel or should I move to ffmpeg-devel?
[12:53] <sacarasc> This is the right channel for reporting things.
[12:53] <sacarasc> -devel is for development only.
[12:53] <al4711> thansk
[12:53] <al4711> I have send a mail to the users list with all informations
[12:53] <al4711> https://lists.ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2013-August/016789.html
[12:55] <al4711> I'm not sure if the prores format is able to use 15kx2k and 30kX2k image inputs for video encoding.
[12:55] <al4711> I must create the video in the same size as the input Images are
[13:17] <al4711> thanks for help and hints to get a working movie with 30kX2k
[14:17] <elkng> does anyone know what do big movie studuos use to proceess their videos ? do they use proprietary video encoding software ?
[14:25] <ackjewt> elkng: We´re using Telestream Vantage and Rhozet Carbon Coder. So yes, proprietary.
[14:27] <elkng> ackjewt: why don't you use ffmpeg ?
[14:27] <elkng> too unstable ?
[14:28] <ackjewt> No, we use ffmpeg as well for smaller customers
[14:29] <ackjewt> for transcode-only applications
[14:31] <elkng> ackjewt: what the company are you talking about it its not a secret ?
[14:31] <elkng> s/it/if
[14:31] <ackjewt> elkng: Who i work for?
[14:34] <ThePendulum> woohoo
[14:35] <ThePendulum> I have a whole range of avi files with an audio channel I want to remove. Is there a way to remove the channels from all files with a single command?
[14:50] <elkng> ackjewt: I mean what the company you are talking about ?
[15:01] <ThePendu1um> test
[15:01] <ThePendu1um> Apparently I've been brutally disconnected
[15:01] <ThePendu1um> Oh, apparently my original nickname is banned from this channel?
[15:12] <ThePendulum> Does anyone happen to know how to remove an audio channel from a whole batch of files?
[15:12] <ThePendulum> ffmpeg -v info -i input /mnt/stor/Downloads/Simpsons/Simpsony.01.sezon/ -map 0:0 -map 0:2 -vcodec copy -acodec copy /mnt/stor/Downloads/The Simpsons/Season 1/
[15:12] <ThePendulum> whops
[15:12] <ThePendulum> Either way, I need that to work for all files inside the input folder
[15:20] <saste> ThePendulum, you need to script it, ffmpeg can't do that directly
[15:25] <ThePendulum> Ahke
[15:32] <Borg^Queen> hello all, trying to compile 3.99.5 but I keep getting a libmp3lame error. I just compiled the latest version of it and still no luck.
[15:33] <Borg^Queen> What do is needed to be know to help?
[15:33] <Borg^Queen> I have the config.log handy.
[16:04] <grepper> Hi Borg^Queen , I haven't compiled ffmpeg for a while, but what is the error ?
[16:04] <Borg^Queen> hi grepper!
[16:04] <grepper> :)
[16:04] <Borg^Queen> ERROR: libx264 must be installed and version must be >= 0.118.
[16:05] <Borg^Queen> I resolved the libmp3lame but this one is harder.
[16:05] <Borg^Queen> I have the latest snapshot of x264
[16:05] <Borg^Queen> going for the log
[16:05] <klaxa> have you installed it systemwide?
[16:05] <Borg^Queen> anything specific you want to know or should I just pastbin
[16:05] <klaxa> if not, did you tell autoconf where to look?
[16:06] <klaxa> just pastebin everything
[16:06] <Borg^Queen> let me show you the config line
[16:06] <grepper> Borg^Queen:  too much info is better than not enough :)
[16:06] <Borg^Queen>  ./configure --enable-gpl --enable-libx264 --enable-libmp3lame --enable-nonfree --enable-libaacplus --extra-ldflags=-L/usr/local/lib --extra-ldflags=-L/usr/lib
[16:06] <Borg^Queen> ok pastebinning
[16:09] <Borg^Queen> http://pastebin.com/Npc1ANan
[16:09] <Borg^Queen> there
[16:09] <Borg^Queen> but I think I figured it out
[16:10] <grepper> 2 versions of libx264 installed ?
[16:10] <Borg^Queen> that I didn't notice, hang on
[16:10] <grepper> okay, I was just guessing at what you figured out, don't let me sidetrack you :)
[16:16] <Borg^Queen> I don't see any z264 *.h files
[16:18] <Borg^Queen> ok going to recompile x264 any suggestions as to how to make it include headers?
[16:18] <klaxa> x264 shouldn't really need any headers
[16:18] <klaxa> uh
[16:18] <Borg^Queen> off hang on
[16:18] <klaxa> wait i take that back :X
[16:18] <Borg^Queen> odd I meant
[16:18] <Borg^Queen> ok brb
[16:20] <Borg^Queen> guys will you be here in about an hour?
[16:20] <grepper> maybe not for me
[16:20] <Borg^Queen> need to help out a crackmonkey on win8
[16:20] <Borg^Queen> grepper: not to worry
[16:21] <grepper> nice to sort of hear from you again !
[16:21] <klaxa> i'll be probably here
[16:21] <Borg^Queen> thanks, been so busy since 8 came out, it's crashing and committing suicide at a greater rate than vista
[16:21] <Borg^Queen> klaxa: thanks mate bb as soon as I can,
[16:59] <Aleric> I'm trying to get a jpeg2000 viewer for linux 64bit.  All I could find is that there would be a "OPJviewer", which supposedly would be in the openjpeg svn trunk. So, I downloaded truck, followed the build instructions (cmake .; make) and got no viewer :/
[16:59] <Aleric> How can I get it to compile the viewer, if at all possible?
[17:08] <supe> hi
[17:08] <supe> Which video from Khan Academy is better quality, YouTube: http://pastebin.com/p1Tqq5bk or DDL: http://pastebin.com/hwJJFaQq ?
[17:09] <klaxa> you can't judge video quality from encoding settings
[17:09] <klaxa> video quality is a subjective matter
[17:10] <supe> Actually I'm fairly certain video quality is an objective measure
[17:10] <supe> Subjective would be your personal tradeoff between file size and picture quality / frame rate
[17:10] <Plorkyeran> comparing encoders would be a much simpler process if that was the case
[17:11] <Plorkyeran> the ddl version is a quarter of the size of the youtube video despite being a lower profile so it's fairly safe to assume it's worse, though
[17:11] <Plorkyeran> but both are so hilariously low bitrate that I assume it's just a talking head video and the video quality is pretty irrelevant
[17:12] <klaxa> supe: you can measure video quality (otherwise comparisons would be based on >my opinion is better than yours)
[17:12] <klaxa> but you cannot tell whether a video is of good quality without seeing it
[17:13] <supe> klaxa: Yes, but you should be able to determine given textual attributes of each; which is better quality overall
[17:13] <zap0> if you know the source material you can calculate it
[17:13] <klaxa> supe: no
[17:13] <klaxa> yes, but i could have encoded it 9001 times with 9001 different codecs
[17:13] <klaxa> and the result looks like shit
[17:14] <klaxa> i could apply 165 filters to make it look bad
[17:14] <klaxa> i could telecine it and use a deinterlace filter to make it look bad
[17:14] <klaxa> you cannot tell video quality without looking at the video
[17:15] <supe> klaxa: Sounds like you're spouting bullshit...
[17:15] <klaxa> if you want to believe that, it's fine with me
[17:18] <Datalink> http://illogicallabs.com/paste/00000007.txt I've attempted recompiling the same ffmpeg build on a second computer running ubuntu, I get the same error as I do on my Raspberry Pi for this command, does anyone know where I'd find a full list of parameters that can be passed to the -f flv or rtmp handlers?
[17:18] <Borg^Queen> grepper: still there?
[17:18] <Borg^Queen> klaxa: ?
[17:19] <klaxa> yep
[17:20] <Borg^Queen> Just got back. I feel so badly for this guy. He just bought a new computer but, because he had a second hd installed, sony will not honour the warranty. MS says the problem is hardware, sony says it's win8. He packed up the computer and tried to give it to me. When I got there is was all boxed up on the porch.
[17:20] <Borg^Queen> I took it inside, installed linux and he's chugging away, doing his writing.
[17:20] <Aleric> /usr/src/openjpeg/openjpeg-trunk/src/bin/wx/OPJViewer/source/imagjpeg2000.cpp:672:2: error: opj_event_mgr_t was not declared in this scope
[17:21] <Datalink> Borg^Queen, that kinda sucks
[17:21] <Borg^Queen> Datalink: (cute nick), it had a happy ending.
[17:22] <Borg^Queen> so onward to ffmpeg and it not seeing x264
[17:22] <Borg^Queen> but that's likely because x264 build without headers
[17:22] <Datalink> this is exactly why I hate closed box computer waranties though, a computer is meant to be a general purpose machine, with upgrade options...
[17:22] <Datalink> Borg^Queen, it's distro dev package
[17:22] <Borg^Queen> Datalink: agreed
[17:22] <cbreak> like cars? :)
[17:22] <Datalink> yeah
[17:23] <Borg^Queen> Datalink: I build from source.
[17:23] <Datalink> joy... probably should for this application
[17:23] <Borg^Queen> aye
[17:23] <Datalink> which means building it on a Raspberry Pi then rebuilding ffmpeg
[17:24] <Borg^Queen> Someone dumped a working sony blueray player with lots of extras, so I picked it up and put it back into service. It plays video off usb stick.
[17:24] <Borg^Queen> why raspberry and Pi?
[17:25] <Borg^Queen> oh you're speaking of something else.
[17:25] <Datalink> the RPi is the computer for the application, I've got a second test machine so I can remove "because it's a cheap embedded CPU" from the equasion
[17:26] <Borg^Queen> ah
[17:30] <Borg^Queen> I guess I missed grepper
[17:31] <Datalink> ehe, it was someone in dev who thought the Pi would be too slow for standard def video
[17:31] <Aleric> Seriously... 'DESTDIR=/usr/src/openjpeg/install make install' installs in /usr/src/openjpeg/install/usr/local  ?!?
[17:32] <Aleric> So then the INSTALL instructions, telling people to do:
[17:32] <Aleric>   DESTDIR=$HOME/local make install
[17:32] <Aleric> will install in $HOME/local/usr/local  lol
[17:32] <Borg^Queen> is this to be used by the user alone?
[17:33] <Aleric> I'm glad I didn't install it as root.
[17:33] <Aleric> I suppose you missed all my previous questions :/
[17:33] <Borg^Queen> I did, sorry mate.
[17:34] <Aleric> I'm trying to get OPJviewer to compile
[17:34] <Borg^Queen> what distro?
[17:34] <Aleric> debian
[17:34] <Borg^Queen> ah, good distro
[17:36] <Aleric> cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/src/openjpeg/install
[17:36] <Aleric> make
[17:36] <Aleric> make install
[17:39] <Aleric> cmake . -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/src/openjpeg/install -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/src/openjpeg/install -DBUILD_VIEWER:BOOL=ON
[17:39] <Aleric> That should work.. but it doesn't
[17:40] <Aleric> This package doesn't even search for it's own libs? :/
[17:40] <Borg^Queen> hang on, I remember something about it, one moment
[17:40] <Aleric> My problem is that it find /usr/include/openjpeg.h  .. which is the wrong version
[17:40] <Aleric> finds*
[17:41] <Datalink> Borg^Queen, just recompiled libx264 on the test machine, same error
[17:41] <Borg^Queen> ah, don't know what to do about that. sorry
[17:41] <Aleric> I want it to find and use /usr/src/openjpeg/install/include/openjpeg.h
[17:41] <Borg^Queen> Datalink: ugh
[17:41] <Borg^Queen> I was compiling ffmpeg,
[17:41] <Datalink> Borg^Queen, yeah, I've been working on this for 2 weeks now, starting to get more than a tiny bit frustrated
[17:41] <Borg^Queen> no headers on x264?
[17:41] <Aleric> oh well,, guess ...
[17:42] <Borg^Queen> poor lad/lass
[17:42] <Datalink> ./configure --enable-static --enable-shared
[17:42] <Datalink> that was libx264's build config
[17:43] <Borg^Queen> aye, same, let me see what I've got now.
[17:44] <Borg^Queen> blast, no headers
[17:44] <Borg^Queen> no includes
[17:46] <Borg^Queen> BINGO
[17:47] <Borg^Queen> Datalink: are you trying to compile x264 right?
[17:47] <Datalink> Borg^Queen, yeah, I did, (still on the Pi)
[17:47] <Borg^Queen> ok hang on
[17:47] <Datalink> thanks
[17:48] <Borg^Queen>  ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-debug  --enable-static
[17:48] <Borg^Queen> try that
[17:48] <Borg^Queen> I just got a successful build with headers and all
[17:50] <Datalink> building now, Ubuntu system
[17:50] <Borg^Queen> hmm
[17:51] <JEEB> why set prefix to /usr ?
[17:51] <JEEB> that would mishmash it with the packaged things
[17:51] <JEEB> use /usr/local preferably
[17:52] <Borg^Queen> true,
[17:52] <Borg^Queen> let me try that.
[17:52] Action: Datalink restarts the build
[17:53] <Borg^Queen>  thank you JEEB
[17:55] <Borg^Queen> brb knock at the door
[17:56] <Borg^Queen> thank you JEEB, working nicely.
[17:56] <Borg^Queen> brb
[18:06] <Datalink> still getting IO error on test machine
[18:08] <Borg^Queen> blast
[18:08] <Borg^Queen> and I broke a nail on a bloody windows computer.
[18:08] <Borg^Queen> I blame MS for all this
[18:08] <Datalink> yeah :/
[18:08] <Datalink> ouch
[18:09] <Borg^Queen> ah bugger, it's bleeding, brb
[18:11] <Borg^Queen> JEEB I got a cleaner rpm with local, thanks so much
[18:15] <Borg^Queen> Datalink: any luck?
[18:15] <Datalink> not yet
[18:15] <Borg^Queen> :(
[18:16] <Datalink> yeah... taking a break for a bit
[18:16] <Datalink> I'll probably chat with support or MitM it Monday
[18:17] <Borg^Queen> Sorry I wasn't able to help
[18:18] <Datalink> it's okay, heh, I'll keep at it in a bit
[18:18] <Borg^Queen> aye, "never give up, never surrender"
[18:18] <Datalink> aye, but take breaks to stretch when needed
[18:18] <Borg^Queen> aye
[18:19] <Borg^Queen> blast, ffmpeg still isn't finding x264
[18:19] <Datalink> the 'fun' part of this will be making it work with the city network
[18:20] <Datalink> did you enable GPL?
[18:20] <Borg^Queen> hang on
[18:20] <klaxa> if you compiled x264 from source, did you configure it with --enable-shared ?
[18:21] <Borg^Queen> checking config line
[18:21] <Datalink> recompiling now
[18:22] <Borg^Queen> gpl enable yes, enable shared, no, redoing
[18:22] <klaxa> no wait
[18:22] <klaxa> --enable-shared for x264
[18:22] <Borg^Queen> pardon?
[18:22] <klaxa> if you compiled x264 from source, you have to enable shared libraries for x264
[18:22] <klaxa> i.e. compile libx264.so
[18:23] <klaxa> this has nothing to do with ffmpeg - yet
[18:23] <Datalink> compiling it again
[18:23] <Borg^Queen> ok so just --enable-shared is the addon aye?
[18:23] <klaxa> for the configure line for x264
[18:23] <klaxa> if you compiled x264 from source
[18:23] <klaxa> only applies if you compiled x264 from source
[18:23] <Borg^Queen> ahhh ok I see, what you are saying, ok recompiling x264
[18:24] <Borg^Queen> thank you klaxa
[18:25] <Borg^Queen> brb another windows machine just came in...
[18:43] <Borg^Queen> ok back
[18:45] <Borg^Queen> Here's a new one. Guy brings his mac in to be updated (second hd more ram), goes to pick it up, the "genius" wants to show him the computer up and running, plugs it in and it blows up. The owner, very angry, demands money back and repairs. Of course the manager says ok to the money back but no to the repairs. So, one of the lower tech suggested he take it to me to see why it blow up (the geniuses couldn't find a cause).
[18:46] <Borg^Queen> I open the case, smell burnt and follow my nose. They plugged a power cable (with an adapter) into a usb pin array.
[18:46] <Borg^Queen> The board is extra crispy.
[18:47] <Borg^Queen> That's a new one for me. Never seen that before.
[18:47] <Datalink> ....
[18:47] <Datalink> SERIOUSLY?
[18:47] <Borg^Queen> That I've never seen that before or that they did it?
[18:47] <Datalink> both
[18:48] <Datalink> what was it, a fan power cable?
[18:48] <Borg^Queen> then seriously to both. Are you telling me you've seen power cable connected to usb ?
[18:48] <Borg^Queen> LOL Yes! Oh no, seriously mate, you've seen this before?
[18:49] <Datalink> not as a messed up wiring job, but as a test job
[18:49] <Borg^Queen> the power cable had an adapter on the end of it
[18:50] <Datalink> we've got a cable that goes from 5 pin XLR to a NEMA 15 outlet at the studio, I've yet to figure out what that one's for
[18:51] <Borg^Queen> ok ..... that's odd
[18:51] <Datalink> meh, you see odd stuff in TV
[18:52] <Borg^Queen> klaxa: thanks seems to have worked
[18:52] <klaxa> great
[18:52] <Borg^Queen> hang on let's see of ffmpeg finds it now
[18:55] <Borg^Queen> so far no error, usually it spits out a bloody error in seconds
[18:56] <Borg^Queen> YES! YES! It configed!
[18:57] <Borg^Queen> moving on to make
[18:57] <Borg^Queen> Datalink: perhaps your problem is similiar?
[18:59] <Datalink> I donno
[18:59] <Datalink> I'm not getting build errors
[18:59] <Borg^Queen> what are you getting?
[19:00] <Datalink> a runtime error trying to make it work with an RTMP stream
[19:01] <Datalink> more specifically an IO error
[19:01] <Borg^Queen> oooooh
[19:15] <Borg^Queen> I'm always finding strange stuff in the recyclers, (he lets me pick through the electronics dumpster), I found an intel board, intact, that was sitting in water for several days. I allowed it to dry out for a week. It booted up!
[19:17] <klaxa> you found an intel board? i found a sony laptop
[19:18] <klaxa> the graphics chip was broken, it was a known issue with the batch
[19:19] <klaxa> got a friend to help me, we took it apart down to the mainboard, put that in the oven for 8 min at 200°C, got it back out, put everything back together and it works flawlessly again
[19:19] <klaxa> it heats up even less than the laptop i bought, because we applied new thermal paste
[19:19] <klaxa> also, re: supe, which video is better based on encoding settings: <klaxa> http://dedi.klaxa.eu/bbb1.mkv.txt http://dedi.klaxa.eu/bbb2.mkv.txt respective video files are http://dedi.klaxa.eu/bbb1.mkv and http://dedi.klaxa.eu/bbb2.mkv
[19:20] <klaxa> <klaxa> tell me which one is better before downloading based on the output of mediainfo
[19:28] <Borg^Queen> I don't normally like sony stuff
[19:28] <Borg^Queen> how did you resolve the video problem?
[19:28] <klaxa> >put that in the oven for 8 min at 200°C
[19:29] <Borg^Queen> ok how did that fix it?
[19:29] <Borg^Queen> it was it a water damage thing
[19:30] <Borg^Queen> ah my br rip of the original BSG is almost complete.
[19:30] <klaxa> there were some contacts on the graphics chip that weren't connected properly, heating up the chip causes the stuff that connects them to melt and reconnect properly
[19:30] <Borg^Queen> 2 hrs 40 mins to go....
[19:30] <Borg^Queen> klaxa: that's brilliant. How did you come up with that?
[19:30] <klaxa> internet :X
[19:30] <Borg^Queen> what is this internet you speak of?
[19:31] <Borg^Queen> still, I'm amazed it worked.
[19:32] <klaxa> well we booted it up with some linux live sticks first, not using the nvidia graphics drivers worked up to a resolution of 1024x768
[19:32] <klaxa> it had minor graphic glitches, but when it ran for a while the glitches would disappear (i guess metal expands under heat :P)
[19:32] <Borg^Queen> so it's an older laptop
[19:33] <klaxa> actually a friend of another friend suggested we try baking it
[19:33] <klaxa> 2008 i think
[19:33] <Borg^Queen> I like your friends
[19:33] <klaxa> but it has an intel core 2 duo at 2 ghz so it can decode 1080p in software
[19:33] <klaxa> pretty smoothly
[19:33] <Borg^Queen> nice
[19:33] <klaxa> i use it to watch stuff on my projector so i don't have to use my regular laptop
[19:34] <Borg^Queen> this laptop an IBM/Lenovo T60, I got from someone for $25 quid
[19:34] <Borg^Queen> er dollars
[19:34] <klaxa> also if i used my regular laptop there would be a lot of shit because of video synchronizing with X and video tearing and window manager overhead and general cpu usage because of other stuff
[19:34] <klaxa> i don't want all that
[19:35] <Borg^Queen> He said it was dead. I booted it up and find windows couldn't find it's boot yadda yadda.
[19:35] <Borg^Queen> I use this one for work and to play videos. I usually do both. I'm currently encoding to mkv on it as well as compiling
[19:36] <Borg^Queen> each cpu is at 62/63 C
[19:36] <Borg^Queen> Of course, it could barely play video in 1080p with vista.
[19:36] <Borg^Queen> another reason that guy was convince it was a POS.
[19:37] <Datalink> Vista'll bog any hardware down though
[19:38] <Borg^Queen> ffmpeg is taking its sweet time compiling, 40 mins so far.
[19:38] <Borg^Queen> Datalink: true, but I installed XP and it barely played. It was better with mplayer, but still only 720
[19:38] <Borg^Queen> with linux, I can play 1080, encode and compile, with smooth video playback.
[19:39] <relaxed> Related- my sister's macbook pro died, so she took it the "Genius Bar" at her local Apple store. They said it couldn't be fixed and recommended she buy a new one. Unfortunately she lives 12 hours away, but I told her if she mailed it to me I could proabaly fix it. She declined and bought a new. I begged her to send it to me since it was unfixable.
[19:39] <relaxed> She did...and it just needed a new hard drive :/
[19:39] <klaxa> truly unfixable
[19:39] <Borg^Queen> See!
[19:39] <relaxed> well, for me it's :-D
[19:40] <Borg^Queen> I noticed everyone puts "genius" in quotes well.
[19:40] <relaxed> She won't make that mistake again.
[19:40] <klaxa> i sure hope so
[19:40] <relaxed> Because they're not
[19:40] <Borg^Queen> how much did she pay for a new wacbook?
[19:40] <relaxed> around $1500 I think
[19:40] <Borg^Queen> relaxed: aye, they bloody well aren't.
[19:40] <Borg^Queen> OH!
[19:41] <Borg^Queen> what did she say after you fixed it?
[19:41] <relaxed> She wasn't pleased, haha.
[19:41] <Datalink> probably choice words about Apple
[19:41] <Borg^Queen> relaxed: she wasn't? Why? 0_0
[19:41] <relaxed> Now it runs Debian, so we all win.
[19:41] <klaxa> why would she get another macbook anyway? does she need os x?
[19:41] <Borg^Queen> relaxed: The Rescuer
[19:42] <klaxa> Borg^Queen: you wouldn't be pleased either if you get ripped off
[19:42] <klaxa> by the official support
[19:42] <Borg^Queen> I have a large bin filled with ipuds, ifonnies, macbooks.
[19:42] <Borg^Queen> tried to sell them, they'd only give me $1 for each item.
[19:43] <Borg^Queen> buying any new computer, especially a mac, is a rip off.
[19:43] <relaxed> Seriously, it's messed up that it was the hard drive and they lied, saying it couldn't be fixed. She works from home so she felt pressured to get another one quickly.
[19:43] <Borg^Queen> custom is the only way to go.
[19:43] <Borg^Queen> That's sad.
[19:43] <relaxed> She was happy I got it working, for me, but it sucks for her.
[19:44] <Datalink> I need an intel mac one of these days
[19:44] <Borg^Queen> I have several in a box.
[19:44] <Borg^Queen> blown boards
[19:44] <Datalink> I need a running intel mac :P
[19:44] <Borg^Queen> LOL
[19:44] <Datalink> stupid XCode
[19:44] <Borg^Queen> ?
[19:45] <Datalink> XCode the dev environment for Apple products
[19:45] <Borg^Queen> ok someone to pick up his computer. I need to sit him down and explain he can't install the "plugins" from porn sites.
[19:46] <klaxa> i don't write a lot of software, but the software i do write runs on linux and that's pretty much it
[19:46] <Borg^Queen> brb, this will be a while...
[19:46] <Borg^Queen> klaxa: amen...
[19:46] <Borg^Queen> brb
[19:46] <klaxa> although, that one C project i wrote uses POSIX only so it *should* run on a mac
[19:46] <Datalink> I remember that talk with my dad, his wife and I ripped into him for it
[19:46] <klaxa> it runs on solaris at least
[20:20] <sco_> I want to stream from a Camera over http, here is the pastbin link for http://pastebin.com/jrCjfuiZ. And I get error message "Could not find codec parameters (Video: mjpeg)"
[20:21] <Datalink> what was the output of the command?
[20:21] <sco_> the Output was "Could not find codec parameters (Video: mjpeg)"
[20:22] <sacarasc> Is that an input or an output error? (Pasting the full output would be advisable.)
[20:23] <sco_> Here is the pastlink to the full output http://pastebin.com/TPqVmLqh
[20:28] <klaxa> a) you are using avconv, try #libav b) include your input command line too, c) are you sure accessing the .cgi page is correct?
[20:28] <Datalink> klaxa, he pastebinned the command earlier
[20:29] <klaxa> ah
[20:29] <sco_> no i am using ffmpeg
[20:29] <klaxa> >*** THIS PROGRAM IS DEPRECATED ***
[20:29] <klaxa> >This program is only provided for compatibility and will be removed in a future release. Please use avconv instead.
[20:29] <klaxa> no you are not
[20:29] <sco_> i have used the command with rtsp protocol in the past and it worked.
[20:30] <Datalink> ffmpeg had an agressive fork a few years ago... Debian branches went with the libav branch, which is slower to adapt fixes
[20:32] <relaxed> hearsay
[20:32] <sco_> yes i am using ffmpeg pls. i will give the result from avconv shortly
[20:33] <Borg^Queen> ok back. 1. ffmpeg successfully built, I have nice clean rpms. Thank lads/lasses, thank you Yoda klaxa
[20:33] <Borg^Queen> 2. that was a very awkward conversation.
[20:33] <klaxa> heh, np and great it worked
[20:33] <Borg^Queen> thank you lad
[20:33] <klaxa> well building ffmpeg with x264 from source is a thing i have done so many times
[20:33] <Borg^Queen> It's sad that "there's no support for linux"
[20:34] <klaxa> by now i know what to do and what to look out for
[20:34] <Borg^Queen> And I am wiser for your tutorage.
[20:34] <sco_> here the link for using avconv command http://pastebin.com/t9LQH8YK
[20:35] <Datalink> blah, I need to find out how to deal with stream name, user and pass properly for my stream server
[20:35] <Borg^Queen> 53 mins left to see if the BSG 1979 mkv was a waste of 12 hours
[20:35] <klaxa> Datalink: open source? :X
[20:35] <Borg^Queen> hey is there any reason to install live555?
[20:35] <Datalink> klaxa, mn, I'm honestly very burned out on trying to make this work
[20:37] <sco_> i had rebuilt ffmpeg from source including "--enable-decoder=mjpeg"
[20:39] <sacarasc> sco_: Is it an actual mjpeg? Or it is just a static image that gets refreshed every X seconds?
[20:40] <sco_> i do not know. How can i find that out. the Camera is ""wanscam".
[20:42] <relaxed> remove -vcodec mjpeg and try again
[20:42] <sco_> Ok
[20:44] <sco_> i have just tried without -vcodec mjpeg and the result is the same.
[20:46] <sco_> this worked flawlessly with vlc. But vlc is too noisy
[20:55] <asonge> so, i've noticed a few Lavf UA headers coming in to an audio service that I run, I think there's a few set top DVRs that are using ffmpeg
[20:55] <Datalink> our TriCaster and LiveView.Pro both use ffmpeg under the hood
[20:55] <Datalink> as does the studio's CloudCast video server
[20:56] <klaxa> as does probably any video streaming server that works :X
[20:56] <asonge> lol
[20:56] <Datalink> a good portion of them, yeah
[20:57] <asonge> i'm just wondering how many of these different vendors 1) have the patents for mp3/aac support 2) have anything documenting that they use ffmpeg at all
[20:58] <asonge> i'm looking at possibly releasing an open source audio encoder with some features, but the legal issues are keeping me from even thinking about releasing a binary, which limits distribution a bit.
[20:58] <Datalink> it's in the manual for the studio equipment I use
[20:59] <Datalink> ogg?
[21:00] <asonge> well, if you're trying to offer the ability to stream to multiple devices and such, mp3 and aac are what have the most penetration
[21:01] <klaxa> i wrote a program that re-streams mp3, am i in trouble now? :I
[21:01] <klaxa> i don't change the mp3 stream at all
[21:01] <klaxa> i don't know how all this royalty stuff works anyway
[21:01] <asonge> if you're in the US, i think that's technically infringement...but not for AAC
[21:02] <Borg^Queen> It turns out, never needed to compile ffmpeg. All I needed was to have compiled x264 properly for mplayer to compile with x264 support.
[21:02] <Borg^Queen> >:
[21:02] <Borg^Queen> brb
[21:02] <asonge> klaxa: btw, i might have to end up doing that...i'd like to avoid tying users to a service, but i might just do the aac/mp3 myself and use ogg/opus on the client
[21:03] <asonge> (streaming source client, that is)
[21:03] <klaxa> i stream mp3 and re-stream the same stream
[21:03] <klaxa> everything mp3 because the format is so damn simple
[21:03] <sco_> guys any help here for my problem?
[21:03] <Borg^Queen> brb
[21:04] <asonge> aac + adts is pretty simple, and it supports slicing on any frame boundary
[21:04] <klaxa> :o
[21:04] <klaxa> sco_: how did it work with vlc?
[21:27] <sco_> klaxa here is the past to the vlc command http://pastebin.com/bQ0EPpkm
[22:29] <Borg^Queen> hmm no mplayer is exiting make with 2 errors
[22:35] <Borg^Queen> could someone with a bit of time and experience please look at http://pastebin.com/Xbz4UY5d, and tell me what I'm doing wrong.
[22:35] <Borg^Queen> now mplayer isn't compiling.
[22:57] <klaxa> Borg^Queen: gcc version?
[23:03] <Borg^Queen> one moment
[23:03] <Borg^Queen> gcc-4.3.1-0.134806.1ark.i586
[23:05] <klaxa> should be new enough i think? anyway, it looks like there is stuff your compiler doesn't support
[23:06] <klaxa> >ibavfilter/internal.h:276: error: #pragma GCC diagnostic not allowed inside functions
[23:06] <Borg^Queen> but it compiled before, which is what is confusing
[23:17] <brontosaurusrex> Borg^Queen, why do you have such an old gcc?
[23:17] <brontosaurusrex> i have 4.7.2 and this is debian stable
[23:18] <Borg^Queen> I'm keeping my fav distro, which is technically "dead" until I find something of equal power and versatility and something that uses either kde 3.5.x or TDE with RPM.
[23:19] <Borg^Queen> Ark Linux is faster, runs on old and new stuff. It's never failed me.
[23:19] <brontosaurusrex> ok ...
[23:19] <Borg^Queen> I haven't been able to find anything that can do everything Ark does for me. Sadly I know I have to find something.
[23:20] <brontosaurusrex> well, crunchbang is nice, but probably not what you are after
[23:20] <Borg^Queen> crunchbang?
[23:21] <Datalink> when in doubt LFS
[23:21] <brontosaurusrex> http://crunchbang.org
[23:21] <Borg^Queen> thanks
[23:22] <Borg^Queen> interesting
[23:22] <Borg^Queen> Datalink: at this point, it's pretty much what I'm doing
