WinFF/ffmpeg - Ubuntu 12.04 - Xvid Fullscreen

[barthus]

Dear all.

I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 (64 Bit) from scratch. Now I have an issue with WinFF/ffmpeg, which didn't appear under Ubuntu 10.10.

I have a raw data movie (640x480) from a digital camera and want to compress it via WinFF: AVI, XviD FullScreen - What I get is an error message:

As written above, all worked well under 10.10.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Solved!

have a look here and follow Paul Gevers advice:

Thanks a lot for reading, cheers.

Hi there my friend, I've managed to fix this by following this few steps.

1 - Download WinFF from Launchpad web site: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/904346....1-1_amd64.deb

2 - I installed libavcodec-extra-53
# aptitude install libavcodec-extra-53

3 - Then I edited WinFF presets and changed it by simply getting rid of -trellis -aic

# nano -c ~/.winff/presets.xml

BEFORE
<XviDAVIWS>
<label>XviD Widescreen</label>
$ -bufsize 4096 -mbd 2 -bf 2 -trellis -aic -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -g 300 -acodec libmp3lame -ar 48000 -ab 128k -ac 2</params>
<extension>avi</extension>
<category>AVI</category>

AFTER
<XviDAVIWS>
<label>XviD Widescreen</label>
$ -bufsize 4096 -mbd 2 -bf 2 -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -g 300 -acodec libmp3lame -ar 48000 -ab 128k -ac 2</params>
<extension>avi</extension>
<category>AVI</category>

4 - Do it in every preset you want to use. This -trellis -aic is no longer used or required.

Hope I have helped. God bless you.

Hope I have helped. God bless you.

Thanks a lot. I solved it as described above ... probably the same what you propose.

Wouldn't it be better if all this comes already 'in perfect shape' when installed via sudo apt-get under Ubuntu?

I've followed the instructions and get this error (scroll down to bottom) and can't figure out how to make WinFF work under Ubuntu 12.04:

Unknown encoder 'libxvid'

You probably need to install the libavcodec-extra-53 package. More info: HOWTO: Easily enable MP3, MPEG4, AAC, and other restricted encoders in FFmpeg.

Thanks for your reply.

I will try the solution(s) suggested and report back.

I've done what you suggested...now I am getting this:

This is the preset for xvid widescreen as copied from Winff:
-f avi -r 29.97 -vcodec libxvid -vtag XVID -vf scale=704:384 -aspect 16:9 -maxrate 1800k -b 1500k -qmin 3 -qmax 5 -bufsize 4096 -mbd 2 -bf 2 -trellis 1 -flags +aic -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -g 300 -acodec libmp3lame -ar 48000 -ab 128k -ac 2

It seems pretty much the same as before....any more suggestions, please?

Thanks

[pabloikba]

A little tweaking and am getting closer but I am still needing some help. I changed the preset to read:

-f avi -r 29.97 -vcodec mpeg4 -vtag XVID -vf scale=704:384 -aspect 16:9 -maxrate 1800k -b 1500k -qmin 3 -qmax 5 -bufsize 4096 -mbd 2 -bf 2 -trellis 1 -flags +aic -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -g 300 -acodec libmp3lame -ar 48000 -ab 128k -ac 2

Now, the only error I am getting is:

Please use -b:a or -b:v, -b is ambiguous

I have tried to change "-b" that is after "1800k" to "-b:v" and to "-b:a".....after doing that, I get the same error.

What is it I need to change?

Thanks
