Sharp gui!
I’m running Fedora 11, and when I tried to convert a 30 minute video from the command line or the gui (btw thanks for including that great command line utility of the library) mencoder just runs for much too long; (on my netbook granted) I’ve left it for up to 24 hours. I decided to play around with the mencode command being used, which was this:
mencoder -ofps 20 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vqscale=3:keyint=15 -vf field,expand=:::::224/176,scale=224:176,harddup -srate 44100 -af resample=44100:0:1,format=s16le -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=128 /media/Expansion\ Drive/media/SourceFile.avi -o /tmp/temp.avi
plus the -msglevel options, which I turned off to see obvious progress.
When I play around with mencoder doing the same conversion, I find that removing
resample=44100:0:1
from the option
-af resample=44100:0:1,format=s16le
makes the encoding progress as normal. In fact, I can’t find any combination of parameters for the resample option.
Anyone have ideas? Think this is a problem with my setup, or something to address in the code? Also, I assume this is an important thing to set for my fuse to play the file; that the default won’t suffice? Thanks!
