Cannot find codec matching selected -vo and video format 0x10000002

[ltd82]

Hello there guru's

I need some help with mplayer, I'm a windows user in process of migration to ubuntu 10.04. Go slow on me

Here is a command I'm trying

mplayer ./source.mpg -af resample=48000:0:0,volnorm=1:0.25 -ao pcm:file=./source.mpg_temp.wav -vc dummy -vo null

The above command is a part of a script i'm trying to write.

Here is the error I'm getting in the log file just after the above is executed and my output is without sound.

Cannot find codec matching selected -vo and video format 0x10000002.

Can someone please take me through to diagnose this problem ?

That's caused by the forced "dummy" codec, which doesn't really exist in MPlayer. It shouldn't affect audio output though.

Try this instead:

mplayer ./source.mpg -af resample=48000:0:0,volnorm=1:0.25 -ao pcm:fast:file=./source.mpg_temp.wav -vc null -vo null

Does mplayer play back audio from your file if you don't use -ao pcm?

Ok i changed to

mplayer ./source.mpg -af resample=48000:0:0,volnorm=1:0.25 -ao pcm:fast:file=./source.mpg_temp.wav -vc null -vo null

Now the error is this

           ************************************************
           **** Your system is too SLOW to play this!  ****
           ************************************************

Possible reasons, problems, workarounds:
- Most common: broken/buggy _audio_ driver
  - Try -ao sdl or use the OSS emulation of ALSA.
  - Experiment with different values for -autosync, 30 is a good start.
- Slow video output
  - Try a different -vo driver (-vo help for a list) or try -framedrop!
- Slow CPU
  - Don't try to play a big DVD/DivX on a slow CPU! Try some of the lavdopts,
    e.g. -vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts lowres=1:fast:skiploopfilter=all.
- Broken file
  - Try various combinations of -nobps -ni -forceidx -mc 0.
- Slow media (NFS/SMB mounts, DVD, VCD etc)
  - Try -cache 8192.
- Are you using -cache to play a non-interleaved AVI file?
  - Try -nocache.
Read DOCS/HTML/en/video.html for tuning/speedup tips.
If none of this helps you, read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html.

No it's not slow. I'm sure about this.

mplayer source.mpg plays the file just fine.

Any other recommendations ?

No it's not slow. I'm sure about this.

This error message is due to losing A/V sync because of the -ao pcm:fast parameter. Again, the error can be completely ignored when dumping audio.

The question is, did it produce an audio file or not?

Can you hear the audio with this command:

mplayer ./source.mpg -af resample=48000:0:0,volnorm=1:0.25 -vc null -vo null

yes I have source.mpg_temp.wav created and it plays fine. But the final output file doesn't have audio.

Here are the next commands being executed.

neroAacEnc -br 48000 -he -if ./source.mpg_temp.wav -of ./source.mpg_temp.mp4
MP4Box -add source.mpg_temp.264#video:fps=25.000 source.mpg.m4v
MP4Box -add source.mpg_temp.mp4#audio source.mpg.m4v
MP4Box -inter 500 -itags album=na:artist=na:comment=na:created=na:name=na -lang Hindi source.mpg.m4v

It could be a problem with one of these commands ?

Can you hear the audio with this command:

mplayer ./source.mpg -af resample=48000:0:0,volnorm=1:0.25 -vc null -vo null

Yes I can hear the audio and here is the output if this may help.

Yes, the problem is either in those steps or in the player that you use for playing back the final file.

I couldn't reproduce the issue though; both audio and video played back fine when using your commands.

Let's take one step at a time:
1. Can you hear audio when playing back the source.mpg_temp.mp4 file produced by neroAacEnc? If not, the problem is there.
2. If the AAC MP4 file is fine but the resulting M4V isn't, what does MPlayer print to the terminal when you try playing the M4V file?

Yeps it plays fine and I can hear the audio.

I will update this in few mins.

Ok so I tried this and here are the results.

Since there is no sound so the problem seems to be coming from this command

MP4Box -add source.mpg_temp.264#video:fps=25.000 source.mpg.m4v
MP4Box -add source.mpg_temp.mp4#audio source.mpg.m4v

So far i have been looking at the log file which was generated by the script but when i looked at the terminal where script was running I figured the problem is here when MP4Box is adding the sound to the video.

Hmm. This bug should have been fixed since Ubuntu 9.10, and I don't have problems with gpac 0.4.5-0.3ubuntu6 in 64-bit 10.04. Which gpac version are you using?

You could try to build gpac yourself. There are some instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1215281


Or mux with ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -i input.264 -i input.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy output.mp4

If you don't need MP4 for hardware player compatibility, I'd suggest using MKV. Mkvtoolnix has had an order of magnitude less issues than MP4Box and GPAC.

[ltd82]

I tried that but couldn't fix the gpac problem but ffmpeg did the trick.

Thanx a lot for the help, really appreciate it.
