Merge Fields bug

[Jan Gruuthuse]

I found the 2.6.x compile instructions off the download page, but the instructions are for the older SVN setup. What's the download instructions from git?

Thanks

Thanks Jan and sorry for the response delays. I have bad health issues and am on overload with some other issues.

As mentioned in my previous post I was going to try a full render based on the 1min render tests I did with 2.6.9-1~getdeb1. Three tries failed when starting the second pass.

Attached are the crash and shell logs from the last try.

I tried git compiling, but those failed. I'll split those out into separate posts.

[bjohnson777]

I tried the qt4 compile as instructed above. It errored out.

Note that I run auto-apt to find any missing small packages. The first try found a few. This is from the last try of the qt4 compile.

Here's the end from the shell:

A couple years ago I tried a 2.6 compile and couldn't get qt working. It did work with gtk, which led me to my next compile test...

[bjohnson777]

The gtk compile test was done "with-gtk --without-qt4".

Here is the error from the shell window:

What are the next steps? Thanks for the help.

[Jan Gruuthuse]

The gtk compile test was done "with-gtk --without-qt4".

Don't use GTK: development is on halt for a long time.

[Jan Gruuthuse]

I tried the qt4 compile as instructed above. It errored out.

Thanks Jan and sorry for the response delays. I have bad health issues and am on overload with some other issues.

As mentioned in my previous post I was going to try a full render based on the 1min render tests I did with 2.6.9-1~getdeb1. Three tries failed when starting the second pass.

Attached are the crash and shell logs from the last try.

I tried git compiling, but those failed. I'll split those out into separate posts.

Can you save the project when you made all you settings. Avidemux Menu: File: Tinypy Project: Save As Project: Name: MyProject [Save]
and attach this to your posting. I'm not certain I understand all info correctly.

When cutting video it is important to only select cutting points with these 2: and .

Abandon GTK is now added to my notes.

I'm still seeing "Could not find Gettext" and "Could not find execinfo", but it doesn't seem to matter so far.

Your long "dpkg -l" command doesn't show any missing packages.

Your "apt-get install ..." seems to have fixed the point where I was getting stuck at before. New packages installed not caught by auto-apt:

*** Video Encoder      ***
    Xvid           No

    x265           No
Ubuntu's xvid-dev is installed. Video output codec does show "Mpeg4 ASPP (xvid4)"... so it looks like xvid made it in the compile. Is this anything to worry about?

With mesa, vdpau, and vainfo, what is the "only" qualification? I think mesa and vdpau were installed by something else. I do have a geforce 8400gs in my quad, but not on the laptop I'm testing with (it has a mobile radeon). My nvidia driver for my quad is the commercial one.

Is the x264 lib packaged with Ubuntu good enough? or should I always compile my own x264?

Are the installation instructions for x265 similar to x264? Or is x265 considered to not be ready yet?

"Edit Cut Trim" wouldn't fully play on dropbox. I only get the first few seconds. I tried relaxing browser security some, but it didn't help. I can usualy download the mp4 file and play it using a real player. The dropbox web player wouldn't get beyond the (>) button on the screen.

I'm not doing a direct copy of the raw video, so I don't think cutting on the keyframes is necessary since it will be a full render. I normally scroll to an area to be clipped out and use the keyboard arrow keys to get to the point I want. Since 2.6.x can slip a little, I leave a few extra frames on each side. On my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS install, the 2.6.x version was OK with that.

Found another bug. On a clean system without avidemux installed before, it errors and quits with this in the shell window:

It's in red while the rest is in green and black.

I just started the render again from the above tinypy project. It's past my bed time and I've got another heavy week ahead. I'll try and make some time tomorrow to report the render status.

Thanks for the help.

- mesa can work with nvidia, intel or AMD gpu. If your laptop has intel gpu on cpu and AMD gpu (Intel/AMD hybrid graphics). You might look into how to install this correctly, if this brings an advantage. AMD gpu or Intel gpu hardware accelleration in avidemux is not guaranteed to work 100%. I only have user experience, with GT-520 and GTX-960.

Is the x264 lib packaged with Ubuntu good enough? or should I always compile my own x264?

If you don't come accross issues, you probably could stay with ubuntu stock x264.

Are the installation instructions for x265 similar to x264? Or is x265 considered to not be ready yet?

x265 is encoder, If you have need/use for it, you would need to install otherwise not.

"Edit Cut Trim" wouldn't fully play on dropbox....

There is a download button at top righthand at dropbox player, you could download this way.
Edit Cut Trim with [ctrl][X] is currently broken, my opinion: see: Cutting on keyframe looses video information

I'm not doing a direct copy of the raw video, so I don't think cutting on the keyframes is necessary since it will be a full render. I normally scroll to an area to be clipped out and use the keyboard arrow keys to get to the point I want. Since 2.6.x can slip a little, I leave a few extra frames on each side. On my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS install, the 2.6.x version was OK with that.

If you get squares, where you made edit, probably cause would be not using keyframe.

I'm not sure why
adm.setContainer("MKV", "forceDisplayWidth=False", "displayWidth=1280")
is set to 1280, but it doesn't seem to matter so far.

That comes in to play with SD video that has 4:3 an should play 16:9 on TV

Found another bug. On a clean system without avidemux installed before, it errors and quits with this in the shell window:
[load]  can't read /root/.avidemux6/config2
It's in red while the rest is in green and black.

That is weird, I think. On normal installation config2 should be in the users home.

For missing xvid in the summary list, "dpkg -l libxvid*" shows the same versions you have.

I don't have a dropbox account, so it wouldn't let me manually download. I understand what you're saying about the keyframe buttons from the post you listed. I'm not doing a copy, so no squares on output.

For vdpau, mesa, and such, is it possible to add a "--without-gfx-hardware-acceleration" option to bootStrap.bash? That might make troubleshooting a little easier.

For the "~/.avidemux6/config2" load failure, I was the user root. I needed to be for the compile with auto-apt. That's a test and dev system, so being root isn't a big deal. Maybe avidemux didn't like being run as root?

I installed the compiled deb's using "dpkg -i". No errors reported. Files and dpkg output:

After uninstalling the getdeb version first, these installed on my quad just fine. All the package dependencies were handled by the getdeb version, the previous version, and the ubuntu 2.5.4 version that's also installed. "dpkg -i" didn't report any problems.

As a side note, laptop and quad are both 64bit K10e processors. They both run the same ubuntu version with nearly identical installs and programs.

The compiled version loaded the tinypy project file without problems. I ran it for a full render of the video. It crashed after the first pass just like the getdeb version.

I ran avidemux from the command line using the tee command to capture the full shell output (and apparently the color control codes, too). That is attached with the crash.py file. Does 2.6 create the admlog file mentioned in the wiki?

Thanks for the help.

Delete the .idx2 for the used video files in your project.

Did test with your tinypy script.
Avidemux crashes when trying to edit crop (double click on it)
Strikes me you want to  the crop is 1920x2160 to 1920x2156. Are you Certain this is correct? (HD = 1920x1080).
I'm not sure you crop can be minus 4 pixels? Width and hight, probably needs to be 8. I don't use this often, perhaps developer or user can confirm this!
swsRize would probably have the same issue (1916x2156)

attached bjohnson777.py  can be runned after you loaded one similar 1 minute test video.

[Jan Gruuthuse]

Developer needs to look at this: did just see these values are calculated from video source.
