[12:19] <XAVeRY> hey there. I got a very weird mpg file that produces such output when passed to ffmpeg -i : http://codepad.org/1UvbxBAe . [12:19] <XAVeRY> mplayer plays this file okay, so it is playable, but I'm looking for ways to fixup the header or whatever's wrong with this file. any clues? [12:19] <XAVeRY> thanks in advance. [12:26] <Mavrik> XAVeRY, hmm [12:26] <Mavrik> you could try remuxing, but that looks like a badly broken stream [12:26] <XAVeRY> Mavrik, I did - things seem a bit better now. [12:26] <Mavrik> just do ffmpeg -i <file> -codec:copy outfile.ts [12:27] <XAVeRY> remuxed it to mkv, we'll see how it goes. [12:27] <XAVeRY> Mavrik, I'm most concerned about the errors from the h264 decoder. hopefully, it won't be that much trouble. [12:28] <Mavrik> you could probably get rid of those with remuxing to a global-header container (e.g. mp4) [12:28] <Mavrik> those aren't that critical as long as the PPS/SPS packets are at least partially there [12:36] <compn> xavery, can you paste mplayer output? [12:37] <XAVeRY> compn, just normal output when I'm playing? [12:37] <compn> yes [12:38] <compn> on that file [12:38] <XAVeRY> compn, http://codepad.org/BMVV6BgK [12:42] <compn> hmmmmmmmmm [12:42] <compn> stumping me [12:42] <compn> you compiled mplayer? [12:42] <compn> against ffmpeg? [12:42] <XAVeRY> compn, no, it's an Arch Linux package. but I can compile it if you want. [12:42] <compn> it could be libav mplayer? [12:43] <compn> you compiled ffmpeg or binary? [12:43] <XAVeRY> compn, no, it was binary. [12:43] <compn> hmmmmm [12:44] <compn> well, id say try git, might be fixed [12:45] <compn> otherwise im out of ideas and it maybe real bug [12:45] <XAVeRY> compn, I doubt that. I'd really suspect the stream to be actually borked in a way. [12:45] <XAVeRY> I recorded it on Windows, via a very shabby application that came with my tuner [12:46] <compn> ok, well if it works in mplayer [12:46] <compn> you can use mencoder or mplayer to convert it [12:47] <compn> depending what codec you want [12:48] <compn> or if you just want to try remuxing [12:48] <compn> there is tsmuxer or mkvmerge might be able to fix it [12:49] <XAVeRY> compn, thanks a lot for the advice. :) I'll see what I can do with those. [12:49] <compn> ok, i might not be here later, but stick around and some one can help [12:50] <compn> if you upload your file, we can test with git too... [12:50] <XAVeRY> well, remuxing to mkv seems to have worked. [12:50] <compn> great [12:50] <XAVeRY> thanks a lot, Mavrik & compn. [12:50] <compn> np [13:53] <XAVeRY> I had some sync issues after muxing the streams together, but fixed it with mkvmerge. [13:53] <XAVeRY> thanks again, compn & Mavrik. [14:44] <Neil_> Hello people. I'm trying to convert a video that is 1920x1080 but i get an error saying to increase MAX_FILTER_SIZE - where would I find this and what should I set it to? [14:53] <Neil_> if anyone could tell me which file it's in? I tried '/ffmpeg_sources/ffmpeg/configure' - where else to look? [14:53] <Mavrik> uhm [14:53] <Mavrik> can you give your full console output in a pastebin? [14:57] <Neil_> here you go : http://pastebin.com/ydLgVpT1 [14:58] <Neil_> the command line I'm trying to use is: ffmpeg -i "$1" -vcodec libx264 -vprofile high -preset slow -b:v 850k -maxrate 850k -bufsize 1000k -vf scale=1:720 -threads - -acodec copy "${1%%sm.*}.mp4" [14:59] <Neil_> I just want the video to be 720 adn not 1920 as it's messing things up [15:02] <Mavrik> Neil_, em, the bug. [15:02] <Mavrik> "-vf scale=-1:720" [15:02] <Mavrik> 1:720 is the part that freaks sws_scale out :) [15:05] <Neil_> ok, so what did I do wrong? I looked at a couple of website 'HOWTO's' and thought that was the right way to change resolution [15:05] <Neil_> Arrrgh - I missed the minus sign out! [15:06] <Mavrik> yep :) [15:12] <Neil_> Mmm - so now I have ffmpeg -i "$1" -vcodec libx264 -vprofile high -preset slow -b:v 850k -maxrate 850k -bufsize 1000k -vf scale=-1:720 -threads - -acodec copy "${1%%sm.*}.mp4" but I get this as an error: [15:12] <Neil_> http://pastebin.com/zi7CQv7i [15:12] <Neil_> just shoot me... [15:12] <Mavrik> Neil_, um [15:12] <Neil_> -threads - -a... Not my day :-( [15:12] <Mavrik> it says clearly [15:13] <Mavrik> your threads parameter is wierd :P [15:22] <Neil_> thank you! [19:29] <vad> ffmpeg 2.0.1 seems to have a very weird behavior in that it keeps encoded frames in memory rather than writing them out until very late.. [19:30] <vad> The status output is then quite ridiculous: frame=15371 fps= 37 q=2.0 size= 440kB time=00:10:41.28 bitrate= 5.6kbits/s [19:36] <klaxa> i have noticed that too [19:36] <microchip_> vad: open a ticket, then [19:44] <vad> I can't help but procrastinate :) [19:45] <Mavrik> vad, which muxer? [19:45] <vad> mkv container, using -c:v mpeg4 [19:46] <Mavrik> huh. [19:46] <Mavrik> why. [19:49] <vad> I have a gut feeling it may be caused by the input file o_O [20:13] <burek> can anyone tell me what is this thing: http://pastebin.com/AFX8s7U9 [20:13] <burek> vlc also can't play it [20:14] <durandal_1707> use mplayer with drivers [20:15] <durandal_1707> actually that is DRM [20:16] <durandal_1707> if you did not paid for it you can not watch it [20:16] <burek> f it, i'll re-download a better copy anyway :) [20:17] <burek> i don't know who pays for movies in these days :) [20:17] <durandal_1707> it looks encryption is done in container(asf) and not in video bitstream [20:17] <durandal_1707> it woult be nice if you could watch it if you have key [20:18] <durandal_1707> but to have key, you need to pay.... [20:19] <burek> they can bite me :) [20:19] <burek> btw, there is some info in metadata [20:20] <klaxa> well it's 640x480 anyway [20:21] <durandal_1707> some pr0n [20:21] <klaxa> also wmv and wma? wut [20:21] <klaxa> why would you want that stuff [20:21] <durandal_1707> he is pirate [20:21] <klaxa> especially then he should have higher standards by now [20:24] <durandal_1707> i do not they are so dumb to store key in metadata [20:24] <durandal_1707> s/they/think they/ [20:25] <burek> it was a torrent download, i just wanted to watch a movie that's all no biggie [20:26] <durandal_1707> there is probably brute force to break drm but i not going to do it for free.... [20:26] <burek> i didn't even see it was 640x480 [20:26] <burek> no need to, there are free tools for that anyway :) http://stream-recorder.com/forum/four-ways-remove-drm-wmv-and-wma-t9592.html?s=0bdfba05ded25838caccadc7909bd569&; [20:26] <durandal_1707> burek: you waste bandwitch on fake torrents [20:26] <burek> but i'll download hd copy [20:26] <burek> wasn't watching carefuly at descr :D [20:28] <vad> to err is human, but to really screw up requires a computer [20:33] <burek> :) [00:00] --- Sun Sep 1 2013
