in 2007 the ffmpeg bitrate flags (-b and -ab) were changed. They were kbits/sec, but are now bits/sec. Examples older than ~3 years or so will thus be way to low on current ffmpeg build, and newer examples will yield extremely large output on ffmpeg builds older than about 3 years.

Most people should have a newer version than this - so the large file size shouldn't be a problem, but if they google an old example it will sound like @$$ unless a "k" is added.

edit: maybe if the value is less than 999 or so and doesn't have a following b,k,m,etc...?

Still stuck trying get a avi conversion that will work in our daughter's weird Chinese mp4 player.

I am in dpup 009 at the moment and loaded ffconvert-1.0.pet and ffmpeg1-0-i686-Lucid.pet

The app refuses to recognize any video I load as source - just says no video or audio.

Did I make a mess using the Ludic codecs?

I read somewhere that the codecs cannot be backed-out of Puppy ... which seems a contradiction to one of the principles of Puppy ... everything can be changed.

What do I do now?

The dpup 009 save file is not important, I am just testing, if I delete that and reboot will that clean out the Lucid ffmpeg codecs in dpup and I can start clean?

I have made a new thread for FFmpeg Wrapper here: Puppy Linux Discussion Forum :: View topic - FFmpeg Wrapper 0.0.5.

Compiled xine-lib with ffmpeg-0.6 + recent codecs.
xine-lib-1.1.19-p4.pet available. See the top of this topic.

Thanks very much for this new xine-lib. I can now play theora video in gxine but not webm . Test video: http://lachy.id.au/lib/media/elephantsdream/Elephants_Dream-360p-Stereo.webm from: Custom controls WebM video.

I installed ffmpeg-runall-0.6-i686-p4.pet and ffplay works great

but when I try to install this xine-lib-1.1.19-p4.pet Gxine segfaults

How do I get my gxine working with ffmpeg?

Gxine version 0.5.903 using xine-lib 1.1.8


Edit: danggg, I try to fix one thing and another problem arises, installing your ffmpeg-runall-0.6-i686-p4.pet really screwed up my opengl acceleration....gonna be a pain to fix it

I shoulda saw a red flag when it said it replaces libraries...

Edit: I inspected the .pet and it turns out it overwrites some SDL files reinstalling SDL-1.2.9.pet got my games and everything working
again but now ffplay doesn't work haha, linux is a pain sometimes

Can anybody tell me how to fix the conflicting sdl versions?

Edit: I think its fixed now, I redirected libSDL.so and libSDL-1.2.so.0 symlinks to point to the older SDL everything SEEMS to be working in harmony now, ffplay works and my games work

Gxine still segfaults with the new library and I don't know how to fix it, at least I backed up the old one...

FFmpeg-0.7.2(most recent stable libav version) and codecs.
