Problems saving to ogg on Fedora 11

[grepsy]

I'm having a problem where my ogg output looses video if I stream to it for more than 20 minutes. I'm running vlc-1.0.0-rc3 Goldeneye on Fedora 11 with all the latest updates.

I have a Canon z850 plugged in via firewire and am running the following command to stream, show on screen and record to ogg

Code: Select all

dvgrab - | vlc - --demux rawdv --sout '#duplicate{dst=display,dst="transcode{vcodec=theo,acodec=vorb,vb=800,ab=128}:standard{access=http,mux=ogg,dst=:8080}",dst="transcode{vcodec=theo,acodec=vorb,vb=1500,ab=256}:standard{access=file,mux=ogg,dst=/tmp/camerasave.ogg}"}'

I'm not sure what's causing it, so any input is appreciated. This does work for videos ~< 20min and happens everytime I try to do longer. I have tried with just the command below with no luck.

Code: Select all

dvgrab - | vlc - --demux rawdv --sout '#transcode{vcodec=theo,acodec=vorb,vb=800,ab=128}:standard{access=file,mux=ogg,dst=/tmp/camerasave.ogg}'

In both instances there is no additional output to the terminal to show anything is wrong. Also, the stream and local video work the entire time.

I did some more testing, and seems to only be with the duplicate command, and not when I transcode straight to a file. I ran the transcode only for 7 hours last night, and did not have any problems with the ogg. However after 30 minutes this morning with the duplicate command, the ogg contained no video.

@kwizart: I don't see anything in those articles that relate to my issue. I've not had any problems playing back any files, and the transcoding works on its own. I'd prefer to stay out of the testing release branch unless absolutely needed

That very weird that newbies asks for advices and at the same time doesn't want to do what they were told.

The fact that you understand what is requested to do in theses links is totally optional.

Now if you want to consider your report as valid for tracking a potential bug and regression, you have to get the last version and to reset the cache plugin and configs for vlc.

It's very weird for you to assume that I am a newbie just because I am new to this forum.

I have no problems trying the testing branch if there is a concrete reason for me to try it. If all of my command line options look correct, and there is no reason for them not to work, then I will try it. Or if you believe that there is a recent patch that might affect this streaming and storing combination. However just telling me to update to the testing branch without any explanation doesn't make me any more likely to do it.

After updating to the testing version, things are even worse. Now if I do the duplicate to screen, disk and steam there is no video saved to the ogg. If I duplicate to disk and stream the video, no video is saved. If I just transcode to disk the video seems to work. Again, the command-line options I am using are as follows:

Screen, disk and stream

Code: Select all

dvgrab - | vlc - --demux rawdv --sout '#duplicate{dst=display,dst="transcode{vcodec=theo,acodec=vorb,vb=800,ab=128}:standard{access=http,mux=ogg,dst=:8080}",dst="transcode{vcodec=theo,acodec=vorb,vb=1500,ab=256}:standard{access=file,mux=ogg,dst=/tmp/camerasave.ogg}"}'

Disk and stream

Code: Select all

dvgrab - | vlc - --demux rawdv --sout '#duplicate{dst="transcode{vcodec=theo,acodec=vorb,vb=800,ab=128}:standard{access=http,mux=ogg,dst=:8080}",dst="transcode{vcodec=theo,acodec=vorb,vb=1500,ab=256}:standard{access=file,mux=ogg,dst=/tmp/camerasave.ogg}"}'

Disk

Code: Select all

dvgrab - | vlc - --demux rawdv --sout '#transcode{vcodec=theo,acodec=vorb,vb=1500,ab=256}:standard{access=file,mux=ogg,dst=/tmp/camerasave.ogg}'

Also, after updating, the video seems to be applying random effects, such as fish eye, fading in and out and such.

Once updated, you need to reset the cache and config directory

[grepsy]

I did that after I updated my packages, and before I ran any tests.

It can be a regression... (1.0.1 has end in rpmfusion-free-updates-testing)
