ffmpeg v0.4.9 pre for Windows?

[jsturtevant]

where can i get 0.4.9 pre for Windows?
I've downloaded the 0.4.8, but it doesn't support the commandline in this thread. I assume 0.4.9 does... searched and could not find.

any help would be appreciated...
thx

Seems that the link in the other thread doesn't work anymore.

Anyway, you can fetch a build I made a couple days ago from http://members.liwest.at/cupra/ffmpeg.exe .
It's a CVS latest version with xvid and lame mp3 support.

thank you for the link. when i try to execute the exe it is looking for the xvidlib.dll, i've found the cvs directory but do not have the tools to build it. do you know where i can get a compiled version of the dll.

many thanks

Oops, forgot the xvid library.
Fetch it from http://members.liwest.at/cupra/xvidcore.dll

hmm...for some reason (beyond me), your build seems to work much better for me than Bubsters. His version kept giving me windows errors when executed from script. Yet yours seems to work like a charm :)

All I have left to do is actually watch the converted vids to make sure everything is ok :thumb:

It's not that huge a surprise. The version I built is about 2 months old now and, looking at the sheer number of changes checked into the ffmpeg codebase since then, it's highly possible that any problems people had been having here were fixed at some point (either directly, or indirectly).

Of course, if anyone had even *bothered* to tell me they were having problems with ffmpeg crashing, that might have helped just a tad. :bang:

that is a little frustrating at times :)...I ended up fixing the problem within a 24 hour period(by testing cupras build). So it wasnt worth bothing you.

What I'd really like to bother you or alex for is a build of the java pickup script that works w/ UNC pathnames. This way I can abandon my ghetto approach at converting these files :)

No worries. I was just starting to get visions of lots of people turning up and saying: "oh yeah, that never worked for me either".

Didn't someone (Alex?) say that it couldn't be done (easily)? I don't tend to use Java very often (it's a hatred thing;)), so I'd need to do some digging to see if it can be done, and how to do it. But hey, how hard can it be? :)

[insomniac]

yeah...dunno. Havent written much java, but after taking a look at the source, it looks "doable", but DOS was much easier for me at the time :)

Hi cupra

Any chance you could post a little guide on compiling ffmpeg? I'd like to be able to feed myself on this, but Ive never used cvs before. Im not afraid to mess around to compile it, but cvs intimidates me. The only time I've ever used it was 8+ years ago under linux and I always ended up su'ing to get around the security :)

Im actually hoping to get this integrated so that instead of doing offline converts, maybe we can record directly (well, I guess it would appear to record directly..) in sage / from my 350. I noticed ffmpeg's page says it can grab a live tv stream. thoughts?

If you don't have the time to walk through cvs & compilation Ill happily use your binary there, thanks all the same for putting it up in the first place :)

I am having trouble with the MPG files generated by recording HD FireWire. No versions of ffmpeg I can find support both HD mpeg2 and ac3. I am a little too dense to figure out the compiling on my own in Windows.

When I use Cupra's ffmeg here, I get this. Note the audio is unidentified, but the video lists the correct size and frame rate

Input #0, mpeg, from 'D:\TV\TheOffice-HealthCare-1009018-0.mpg':
Duration: 00:29:53.4, bitrate: 18074 kb/s
Stream #0.0: Audio: 0x0000
Stream #0.1: Video: mpeg2video, 1920x1080, 29.97 fps

When I use the version I found at videohelp, ffmpeg 0.4.9-pre1 CVS 2005-02-22, I get this... Note the audio is identified, but now I'm missing the size and framerate for the video

Input #0, mpeg, from 'D:\TV\TheOffice-HealthCare-1009018-0.mpg':
Duration: 00:29:53.4, start: 0.166644, bitrate: 18074 kb/s
Stream #0.0: Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, stereo, 384 kb/s
Stream #0.1: Video: mpeg2video

This results in the error
[mpeg4 @ 0076A4A8]framerate not set
Error while opening codec for output stream #0.0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height

SageTVTranscoder.exe that comes with SageTV 5.0+ is a fairly recent build of ffmpeg.
