I have been trying to convert some movies with ffmpeg, namely the Eric Schwartz tribute.
I have converted it to divx and mpeg2video succesfully with Tubexx, I have also managed to convert the .flv file succesfully using ffmpegGUI to vcd, svcd , and dvd (mpeg2video) with ffmpegGUI. The problem is that the dvd file do not play in DvPlayer. Stephen Fellner is looking into this, but asked me for the cli options for ffmpeg.
Within ffmpegGUI I selected the default setup for each of the above formats (vcd|svcd|dvd), and used 'save setup' to create a file of the shell options.
Although ffmpegGUI will convert the file ok, using the cli options directly with ffmpeg doesn't work.
So there must be some other option that ffmpegGUI uses, that is not saved in the save setup file.
For example I get the following file if I save the dvd setup:- Quote:
I get the following message in the ffmpeg output windowQuote:
Seems that stream 1 comes from film source: 1000.00 (1000/1) -> 15.00 (15/1) Input #0, flv, from 'media:Videos/Animated Amiga Tribute by Eric Schwartz.flv': Duration: 00:03:20.3, bitrate: N/A Stream #0.0: Audio: mp3, 22050 Hz, mono Stream #0.1: Video: flv, yuv420p, 320x240, 15.00 fps(r) Output #0, mpeg, to 'ram:Amiga_Tribute-dvd2.mpg': Stream #0.0: Video: mpeg2video, yuv420p, 720x576, q=2-31, 6000 kb/s, 25.00 fps(c) Stream #0.1: Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, stereo, 448 kb/s Stream mapping: Stream #0.1 -> #0.0 Stream #0.0 -> #0.1
and a visit from the grim reaper, with this Crashlog. I can only presume that ffmpegGUI adds something to the cli command that it is not saving in the save setup file, or that I am not including a neccesary option. Any help would be greatefully recieved.
I don't have time to look into this much right now as I'm at work but I'll try to check into this later.
One tip though. If you look at the first couple of lines in the output shell window you will see the exact ffmpeg line and options that are being used. It will contain a bunch of spaces so it will look funny but it is the command that is being executed.
Also, you might try increasing the stack size in the icon tooltype.
Edit:
I just noticed looking at the discription above the crash log that you executed ffmpeg from the shell. If you didn't increase the stack size it will definatly cause a crash. Execture Stack 300000 or so in the shell first before running ffmpeg.

I have been using 'execute command' from workbench to run ffmpeg, and ffmpeg -i filename tp get the file details. The ffmpeg output window only gives the set up of ffmpeg, and not the command line entered.

I will give this a try and get back to you.
It would be great if you had more time to look at this in detail.

Ok, I was refering to using ffmpegGUI. It prints the full ffmpeg command it executes in the shell output before executing it. If you click the "Input File Info" button it will issue a ffmpeg -i <inputfile> command and give you the input file info. I think I strip out some of the info on ffmpeg itself though.

I didn't have any time last night to look at this but I did take a few minutes this morning to look at it. I used ffmpegGUI v1.1 with the DVD(pal) predefined setting to convert the Amiga Tribute video from .flv to .mpg. The file converted fine with the resulting mpg file being 84M. It also played fine in DVPlayer on my uA1. I repeated the process with the same success using the DVD(ntsc) predefined setting at well so I can't seem to duplicate your poroblem.
I'm using DVPlayer version 0.65 registered but I also played it with the restricted version that came with OS4. Note that I have dvdvcd.plugin version 51.2 in the dvplugins drawer. Not sure it that matters but it might be worth checking.
I can't seem to duplicate your problem but hopefully some of the information here will be helpful.

If I issue 'stack 300000' in a shell and use the 'execute command' to run ffmpeg, I get the same crash. If I issue both commands in a shell, the file is converted.

If I use either ffmpegGUI DVD(pal), or Tubexx (DVD option), I get the following file, which is 84,570,112 in size. Quote:

I am using the same set up here.

I'll play around with both files and see if I can find anything else out. As I said before the original .mpg files play in MPlayer, but lock my system with DvPlayer.
