I am aware of the issue of the x11grab command options with older versions of FFmpeg. :wink:

Thanks sc0ttman for the how to.
Next version of FFConvert will have more compatibility with the x11grab function. Wait a while...

I can't get this to work

#182 Post by p310don »

Am I missing something really obvious here? I cannot for the life of me to get anything to come out of this program.

I have lucid puppy 5.28 which is my main PC. I have tried also using this on Barry's latest Precise, and Fluppy. All 3 different puppies yield the same results.

I am trying to use it to convert the .avi video files from my camera, which are encoded in a very large mjpeg codec to something more space efficient, ideally AVC.

I get errors. Only errors. If i use avc, ie mp4 preset, with MP4 MPEG4-AVC, it tells me that my ffmpeg does not support the codec libx264 nor libfaac.

If I use a different preset, or a codec that I choose, I get this error output:

Code: Select all

Sun Sep 16 23:11:15 EST 2012
Processing /mnt/sda1/tkd1/Demos/15September2012/MVI_0498.AVI...
  Duration: 00:04:04.23, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 16260 kb/s
  Stream #0.1 -> #0.1
Press [q] to stop encoding
/usr/bin/ffmpeg: relocation error: /usr/bin/ffmpeg: symbol frame_hook_process, version LIBAVFORMAT_52 not defined in file libavformat.so.52 with link time reference
Any help with getting this to work would be appreciated.

edit: it works in saluki 21 which is good, but would like it to work in lupu as I use it mostly

Hi Shinobar,

Thanks for your reply. I had tried upgrading pmusic, as I saw earlier you recommended this. I was pretty tired, so didn't think to look in the lucid thread for it, I only searched the pmusic thread. I will try downloading this tonight and let you know the results.

For anyone else with the same issue, this is the link here:

Thanks

FFCONVERT and audio stream

#185 Post by randye009 »

I'm loving FFConvert but am having an issue with a vob converting to mp4. It is using the wrong audio track in the conversion. Can someone explain how to choose the correct audio track? I have tried to use -map in the audio adv. options and it doesn't work.

Thanks

Oh, I was going to report this problem and forgot.
I managed to fix this on my own. Line 1858 in /usr/bin/ffconvert:

Code: Select all

source_property "$FILE1" $SKIP || FLAG=$?
(double quotes)

I figured it would be double quotes somewhere, just didn't have the code available ATM. Excellent work

Many thanks SFR - that cures the problem.

I do notice that on completion of the convert, the Exit button on the main window does not work....

ffconvert-1.4

#197 Post by shinobar »

ffconvert-1.4.pet (2013-10-25)
http://shino.pos.to/linux/puppy/ or
http://shino.pos.to/party/bridge.cgi?puppy/opt/
Upgrading is recommended especially for Precise puppies.

It was a question for a long time why the FFconvert on Precise puppies fail to encode WAV for CD.

The FFconvert makes query to the ffmpeg.
The ffmpeg responds that it does not support the encoding 'pcm_s16le'.
But actually, the ffmpeg can encode 'pcm_s16le'.

The ffconvert-1.4 has a fix against these conditions.

Shinobar, do you mean that FFConvert 1.4 can make some audio file into a WAV file that, if burned onto a CD, will play in an old-fashioned CD player?
