You're probably right.
I found a ppa from Jon Severinsson that is up to date. But it says that Quote:
Anyway, I'm going to try to use the version of ffmpeg I have installed in my system as decoder, to see if it works better than mplayer/mencoder. Just a doubt: if I select ffmpeg as decoder, when I hit preview, will ffmpeg be used for preview?, or just at encoding time?. Hmmm, I ran a test and it seems that preview uses mplayer. So I don't really know if in preview is ffmpeg used... On second thoughts, I read that ffmpeg is deprecated, and to be substituted by avconv... is that true?

Hi froggy1,
yes, I read a little and this was the feeling I got. It's a bad thing when we have to talk about 'sides' and have to face this 'battles' between FOSS developers. Really bad. What about Severinsson's ppa?, may it break my system?. I think I'm going a little off-topic. I'm sorry for this. Last edited by digitall.h; 3rd March 2014 at 01:39. Reason: typo |

Hi selur,
I compiled latest ffmpeg version, and configured Hybrid to use ffmpeg as decoder. I created a job and started it. But I think the code is the same: Quote:
There's another strange thing. I managed to compile mplayer/mencoder and have the last SVN version, I confirmed running them in terminal. Hybrid reports correctly mplayer version, but keeps reporting previous mencoder version, even after clearing cache tools info. |

Hmmm...wonder if there's a problem with livav and large MPEG2 files. I'll load source and output streams into 2 instances of VirtualDub and compare frames after the 4G point. Is there a frameserver which Hybrid will accept for input? Maybe that will work for the video input and the audio could be passed through. (I'm only encoding video, keeping source audio.)

Selur, when I run in terminal:
Code:

digitall.h ~ $ MEncoder SVN-r36970-4.6 (C) 2000-2014 MPlayer Team No file given Exiting... (error parsing command line) Quote:

Selur, I'm sorry, I go on...
I repeated the creation of the encoding job with ffmpeg forced as decoder. And took a look to Debug level 1. I first see: Quote:
Later Debug shows: Quote:
Can this be solved recompiling ffmpeg with libbluray support?. Can the libbluray version be related with the artefacts I see in this movie? |

I'm getting closer
I managed to play the 'problematic' original Blu-ray with avplay (player of ffmpeg), and it does not show artefacts in the scene mplayer keeps playing with artefacts. So with latest versions from mplayer and ffmpeg, the latter manages to play it well while the former cannot. |

(if ffmpeg has libbluray support and 'Prefer ffmpeg as decoder' Hybrid would use ffmpeg to decode the mpls input. Quote:

Of course, you're right
But then... With mplayer, from inside Hybrid and in terminal, it shows artefacts. With avplay (avconv) it plays well. With ffplay (ffmpeg) it plays well... If you think libbluray version is not critical I will try to re-compile ffmpeg with libbluray support. Version installed in my system is 0.2.3 Latest version from VideoLAN is 0.5.0 What about differences in mencoder versions?. Last edited by digitall.h; 4th March 2014 at 01:42.

I'm sorry I explained it bad.
I'm referring to the question I posted. When I run in terminal: Code:
digitall.h ~ $ which mencoder /usr/local/bin/mencoder Code:
digitall.h ~ $ MEncoder SVN-r36970-4.6 (C) 2000-2014 MPlayer Team No file given Exiting... (error parsing command line) Quote:

Create a debug output by:
1. setting a default output path (Config->Path->Default output path) 2. enabling Config->Internals->DebugOutput at Level 9 3. saving the defaults (Config->Defaults->Save->Save all) 4. closing Hybrid and deleting the existing HybridDebugOutput.txt inside the default output path you specified 5. start up Hybrid send me the debugOutput |

Selur, I may try as you advised, but let me tell you first something I discovered.
As I told you which points to mencoder in /usr/local/bin, and when I run it in terminal it shows version -r36970 But I ran locate mencoder in terminal, and found out I have 2 versions, the one that which pointed me at in /usr/local/bin, but a second one in /usr/bin. And if I run in terminal /usr/bin/mencoder, it shows version -r34707 So I made Hybrid point mencoder tool to /usr/local/bin and now shows correct version |

This is probably not the correct place to ask this, please point me to the right place in case.
I'm trying to compile x264 with libav and/or ffms support. I don't know if it's needed in Hybrid to work with ffmpeg and x264 (I think not because ffmpeg outputs raw that x264 can read). But I would like to compile x264 with this support to work with vapoursynth. I have been searching the web for the right commands but I didn't find them. Do you know how can it be done?. Going on with compilation, I managed to compile ffmpeg with libbluray support and now Hybrid creates a job with ffmpeg as decoder (as you said ). But I used the libbluray version in my system 0.2.3, and I would like to use a more recent version (now 0.5.0). When I try to compile 0.5.0 it exits with error: Code:
No package 'libxml-2.0' found |

regarding x264&vapoursynth: no special flaks are needed, straight builds from the git should support it.

Looking at the script used in https://github.com/jb-alvarado/media-autobuild_suite might help. (I know it's a script ment for MinGW, but as far as I remember the general way should work) |
