Need Help: ffmpegGUI users with iPods or PSP
|

With the new version of ffmpeg it should now be possible to generate video's and audio that work with iPods, iTouch, iPhone and PSP devices.
In ffmpegGUI v2.1 I have included some pre-defined setups in the Settings/Predefined Setups/Video draw which should produce video's compatable the these devices. Unfortunatly I don't have these devices to test with. Could someone with these devices give it a try and let me know if they work?
Note that depending on your device and generation, iTunes may not recognize the video files produced because it checks for a certian signature in the file. In this case it might be necessary to us a program other than iTunes to load the file to your iPod/iTouch/iPhone. If you can get them on the device they should play fine. I hope.
The following pre-defined setups are supplied:
Movie-->iPod_standard_screen.ffmp
Movie-->iPod_wide_screen.ffmp
Movie-->PSP_standard_screen.ffmp
Movie-->PSP_wide_screen.ffmp
You can name your movie by replacing the text in the quotes after the -title option in the ffmpegGUI "Enter additional options" string gadget. If that doesn't work try removing the -title option all togather but leave the other options.
I appreciate any feedback.

You have a funny definition of "Soon".
For you this is tomorrow !!!
"Soon" was tomorrow becuase I heard from Andrea and Peter and stayed up until 2:30am to complete the documentation and testing. I didn't expect it to be that soon myself. Quote:
I am using Kcon: but renamed it to CON:
So ffmpegui does not see that I use it because the KCON assign.
Must I rename CON to KCON and change all the calls to shell (in shell.info) ?
Hmm....in this case, what happens if you don't enable the USE_KINGCON tooltype? Does it use KingCon in that case? I believe I specifically open either KCON: or CON: depending on the tooltype and fall back to CON: if KCON: has an error while opening.

Using that test version, flv files are much improved now. its still out of sync, but not badly.. you just see lips moving a little out of sync with words, but its watchable now.
Try hitting the '+' key on the keypad once or twice while the video is playing and see if that helps.

Being in Software/Firmware Quality Assurance for many years, and seeing what happens to people when they give dates and miss them, I won't give a date but I will say that I received a release candidate version of ffmpeg from Andrea today and I'll be updating ffmpegGUI with the final touches tonight but you never know what might be found during testing, so let me just stick with....Soon! Andrea and I will be doing a cordinated release of ffmpeg and ffmpgeGUI. Soon.

I tested your idea and it is fantastic.
That works.
On my DV player, only DIVX and XVID are played.
Yep, sorry the XDIV was a typo. Glad it worked for you. Quote: Another question, do you have news about a new version of ffmepg with aac decoder ? Soon...... It will include an aac encoder in addition to an aac decoder so you can read and write files with that audio codec. The new version will also properly read ac3 audio from DVD's as well so it can now be converted to other formats. Hmm.....let's see....ogg (vorbis), flac audio and additional graphic formats jpg, bmp, tiff as well.

the Two-Colours huge video is not a problem of mplayer. It "seems" a problem on the overlay on SAM
It's not just the SAM. It occurs on my uA1 as well.

Does anyone else observe this behavior when using the last release of mplayer to play wmv files of a resolution 1280x720px HD ? I observed this same thing with my uA1. I also saw it using DVPlayer. Then I enabled the NOOVERLAY tooltype in DVPlayer and the video looks fine when played. I also noticed the aspect ratio is different when overlay is enabled vs. disabled. A clue perhaps?

Just a question about mpeg4.
On my dvplayer, I can read avi (mpeg4) but if I make a movie in mpeg4 format, the movie can't be seen (except on my A1).
By default ffmpeg, I'm assume that is what you are using, codes mpeg4 with a fourcc code of FMP4. Try changing it to DIVX using the option -vtag DIVX or -vtag XVID. If your using ffmpegGUI you can place this is the additional options field. Make sure to hit return. The fourcc is a 4 byte tag that tells the player how the video is coded and therefore what routine to use for playback. Not knowing your DVD player I don't know if this will work for sure but you can try it. Quote: I must use msmpegv1 to encode. If I remember correctly this is an old Microsoft varient of the mpeg4 video codec. If all esle fails using the DVD choices from ffmpegGUI's quick setup menu should work but it uses the mpeg2 video codec. Not quite as efficient as mpeg4. Hope this helps. edit: corrected XDIV typo.

Issues / Observatons with the new SDK 53.13

I've run into the following issues with the new SDK:
newlib is used by default now instead of clib2.
Problem caused:
SHRT_MAX and SHRT_MIN are not defined in newlib.
Compiling with -mcrt-clib2 cures this problem.? What are the equivalents in newlib?
I also now get the following compiler Warning with SDK 53.13 but not with the old SDK.
ffmpegGUI.c:1955: warning: value computed is not used
Line 1955 reads:? RA_Iconify(objects[OID_MAIN]);
Should I be using something different?

Thanks, and thanks for the new version of FFMpegGui! I'm having a little success now!
If you like that just wait a bit. Andrea compiled a new verson of ffmpeg which has support for several new formats included the much asked for AAC audio among others. I've modified ffmpeg to support some some of the differences from the old version of ffmpeg and added support for new formats and codecs as well. It's in beta testing right now but things look good so far. Quote:
However, it seems that if I set the start off-set to anything other than 10, nothing gets encoded.
I've seen some strange things happen with the start offset, especially with mpeg4 formats. Not sure it there is anyting I can do about it but I'm investigating. Quote:
Still, my main goal is to encode my own DVDs. If I've created a DVD by just pressing record, it seems these DVDs can't be read by FFMpeg/Mencoder. However, if I've made a DVD by the recorder's direct dubbing feature (copying VHS->DVD), then it works (this is the actually a disc I've just tested now with FFMpeg and Mencoder).
Not sure what is going on there. Can you send me a 1 minute clip or so that I could take a look at. PM me if you want me to take a look. Quote:
BTW, your documentation refers to a couple of Quick Set-ups that don't seem to be included, such as Video Frames -> Jpegs.
Hmmm....I guess my documentation isn't clear. Under 'Select Setup' choose the load option. If you look in the 'Predefined Setups' drawer you'll find the video to jpg settings. Just load it and go. By default it will grab frames from 1 second of the video. The nuber of pictures you get in 1 second is equal to the framerate. If you want to get 1 frame per framerate just leave the framerate set to the default 25 then type -r 1 in the add options area. This should give you 1 frame per second of video. You can use the start offset and duration to pick out any frames you want to capture. Enjoy! Edit: Needs to be a space between the -r and 1. :|

I'm currently working on a new release of mencoder. The version I uploaded on os4depot seem to crash with some parameters. Regarding the crash, have you ran mencoder with a high enough stack? "Stack 10000000" should be enough. If it still crashes, could you please post the command line which makes it crash, so that I can reproduce the bug?
Hmmmm....if you get a recent version of mencoder working on OS4 I just might be tempted to convert ffmpegGUI to mencoderGUI someday.

I started out with FFMpeg and FFMpeg GUI. I don't seem to be able to extract audio from VOBs; only by disabling audio can I extract a video stream.
As already mentioned if your using ffmpegGUI then you need to set the audio codec to "Copy". Our version of ffmpeg doesn't seem to be able to read the DVD's audio files. To reduce the file size significantly you can try the following using the following setting in ffmpegGUI. Load the DVD(pal) or DVD(ntsc) settings from the Quick Setup menu. Set the video bitrate to "2040k". (SVCD quality) Set the audio codec to "Copy". Set the "Duration" to 20 sec. (for testing) Set the input and output filenames. Click "Start" If you like the results set the "Duration" back to zero and encode away! This will reduce the video quality from DVD to SVCD quality but it reduced my 20 second clip from 15.2Megs to 5.7Megs. It plays fine in DvPlayer and MPlayer. If you don't like the resulting video quality try a higher video bitrate but of course the file size will be bigger. DVD's are typically done with a bitrate of about 6000k to 8000k. Hope this helps.

The Kid Pix Demo program I provided a link to provides support for several languages. Italian, Spanish, French and German I believe. Of course that doesn't help if you don't speak one of those languages either. :)

@TheDaddy A demo of Amy's Fun23 Adventure can be found on Aminet here: Amy's Fun23 DemoA screenshot of the main menu of the program can be found here: Any Fun23 Main MenuRated for kids 2-6 years of age. A review of "The Dinosaur Discovery Kit" can be found here; Read Review!I also discovered that the Kid Pix Demo runs perfect on OS4. Just assign it about a 640x254 8bit screen in Screen Preferences and it looks and works great. It's a nice little kids paint program. You can find it here: Kid Pix Demo

Unless you have a Catweasel PCI card in your AmigaOne, I dont think you will be able to read a Classic Amiga formatted disk.
As far as I know, the A1's only had a standard PC floppy disk controller.
I do have a Catweasel in my uA1 and it reads the floppies just fine. In fact I found an old floppy that contained a program I wrote in AmigaVision years and years ago to teach my kids colors and how to spell them. Imagine my supprise when it actually ran on OS4, minus the speech of course.

Hi everyone,
Can anyone suggest some educational software for children, old or new?
Maths, language, writing, reading etc...
For the Amiga obviously
I'm assuming you mean Amgia Classic. What age are the kids? I have many educational game that my kids used as they were growing up. Now they are all over 18 to I don't think they will be playing them any time soon. I'd be happy to box some up and ship them to you for the cost of shipping but I don't know how expensive it would be to ship from the US to the UK. They are all NTSC versions as well. Not sure how well they would work on a PAL system. Here are some of the titles I have: Castle of Dr. Brain -- Sierra My Paint -- Saddleback Graphics Barny Bear Goes to School -- Free Spirit Software Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles World Tour -- Merit Software Kinderama -- Unicorn Educational Software Amy's Fun23 Adventure -- Devasoft Mixed Up Mother Goose -- Sierra Dinosaur Discovery Kit -- First Byte I believe all the above are boxed with original disks and manuals. In addition I have original floppy disks only for the following: Chicken Little, A Robot Reader -- Hilton Android ABZoo -- MichTron Planet Probe -- MIcroEd Genlock Holmes -- MicroEd Early Math -- MicroEd Two DevWare PD floppies that contain the following: Flags of the World Game Math Game Spelling Game States (United States) Game Not sure what condition the floppies are in but I can put them in the floppy on my uA1 and do a quick check to see if they can be read.
